You may be flying to visit relatives, or taking a flight for a nice long weekend of camping. Perhaps you live in a city and simply need to rent a car long enough to escape for Labor Day weekend. Regardless of why, rental car demand spikes during weekends that are popular for travel and that means price increases as well. To avoid high prices, get a jump-start on your travel plans and book your rental car ahead of time. Don’t forget that many travel sites and package deals also include car rental discounts. It’s a great way to take advantage of the recent slump in the travel industry and combine that with your travel needs!
