Car Rentals in Madrid - Continued shortage of rental cars

The shortage of rental cars, such as car hire in Madrid, this summer has become an unexpected problem for the tourists visiting Spain.

It is "common knowledge". The car rental companies in Spain have lost their vehicles to meet demand in peak season.

VictoriaCars already predicted in this situation after the existing experience during the last Easter. Given the situation at hand and in order to protect their customers, notified them of the possibility of a shortage of cars for the summer, encouraging them to make reservations in advance.


However, many customers have been having waited until the last minute to make your reservation has been without a car. Inevitably, VictoriaCars fleet no longer has available, as most of the rent a car.

But is this a specific situation? The fear is not.

Some forecasts see that this shortage may last until well into the fall. Not only that, it is anticipated that this situation is extended to all existing holiday periods during the year (Christmas, Easter, bridges ...) and even the summer 2010 campaign.

Moreover, the scarcity is not the only problem, this situation is causing companies in the sector have risen substantially the prices of cars. For example, car hire in Barcelona has risen in some cases up to 30% over last year prices on the same dates. It is a clear case of the "law of supply and demand."

Obviously, the cause of this situation is the economic recession being experienced in Spain.

On the one hand the lack of funding companies that are suffering in general prevents this particular sector can expand their fleets.

Moreover, while raising finance, the difficult situation they are moving companies in the automotive sector makes it highly unlikely to permit the sale of vehicles to rent a car.

Until now a rental company acquired a vehicle for a period of time, after which was repurchased by the dealer. The car dealers are not now prepared to perform these operations not to saturate the market for sale in their own detriment.

In short, Victoria - Car Rental Madrid, expects users of leased vehicles are aware of existing problems and take their measures and precautions for your next trip to enjoy their rental car.
