Biz travelers can rejoice: at least one thing will be less expensive in 2012
After releasing its list of a half dozen things that will cost more this year, CNN Money said it only "seemed fair" to give equal time to things that will cost less. In travel, that includes car rentals.
Motorists will find driving a car will get more expensive but renting one will cost less, the site predicts.
Why?
"Thanks to an overabundance of cars and stiff competition among rental car companies, prices on daily and weekly rentals across the country are expected to be lower this year," the site said, quoting Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News.
For example, Dollar Rent A Car is offering a compact car for just $26 a day, or $136 a week, until Feb 11. Meanwhile, Budget is offering 20 percent off on rentals until March 31.
