[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 658470, member: 4012"] Do you have recent (post-pandemic) experience with booking rental cars, Steve? Perhaps Victoria is different, but my understanding (which reflects my son's August experience here in Perth, when he was visiting from Vancouver), is that the car rental companies dumped their fleets early during Covid, when tourism and travel ceased or were restricted. They anticipated rebuilding with new vehicles once the pandemic was over, but those plans ran aground with the ongoing supply shortages that presently see many used vehicles selling for more than new - but unavailable - ones. This seems to be borne out by several online reports I've seen of even pre-booked rental vehicles being unavailable, throwing travellers' plans into disarray. [/QUOTE]
