Is it cost-effective to rent a car home for the New Year?
As the Spring Festival approached, many “Qing Drifting Families†had already planned their homecoming trips. Given that it was difficult to buy train tickets, air tickets were too expensive, and long-distance cars were too tired, many people turned their gaze to car rentals. The city's car rental market has become hot. Is it cost-effective to rent a car? What are the changes in the prices of dealers during the Spring Festival? Is private car renting reliable? In this connection, we interviewed some of the island city car rental companies and car renters. Early car rental cost-effective Xiao Zhao, who is from his hometown in Dongying, has chosen to return home after renting a car for the Spring Festival in the past two years. “Every year the New Year is the time for the wife and children to go out together and bring home the big bags of new goods. To squeeze long-distance cars is too much trouble, it's better to rent a car.†Xiao Zhao rented a Chevrolet Elysee in a car dealership for 10 days. Rent and insurance costs a total of more than 3,000 yuan, although more expensive than sitting long-distance car, but the rented car can also be used as a means of transport after returning home, the relatively high cost performance. Xiao Zhao said that he had no plans to buy a car in the near future and he also gave the reporter an economic account. “If the frequency of car use in life and work is high, buying a car is a good deal. But now it is costly to keep cars and road traffic is congested. Many private cars are only a means of transportation to and from work, and the annual mileage is less than 10,000 kilometers. This is better than taking a taxi. It's expensive." Xiao Zhao believes that for car-free workers, the most reasonable mode of transportation is to go to work by bus, and occasionally take a taxi, go home to visit relatives can rent a car, so that both meet the needs, but will not be wasted. Xiao Zhao didn't know about the market last year. He rented the car only three days before the Spring Festival. As a result, the optional models were limited and the price was twice as high as before the holiday. He started early this year and began to pay attention to car rental information at the end of December last year. He compared the prices of several rental car companies through car rental websites, telephone hotlines and physical stores, and finally selected a Chevrolet Elysee at a car dealership . “After an order is placed on the site, you must go to the store to handle the car rental process and sign a contract. The formal car rental company needs the renter to submit the account book, ID card, driver's license, and some also need proof of real estate and employment.†Talking about the car rental process Xiao Zhao is now very familiar with the road. Chinese New Year approaching rent rises Recently, the reporter visited several car rental companies in Daocheng. It was found that the economic cars of the small and medium-sized car dealerships were almost fully booked, some large vehicle rental chain stores still had surplus vehicles, but the prices generally rose, and some car dealers set a minimum number of days for rental. . The current cheapest price for a car rental in China is the 1.4-liter automatic KIA K2. The rental price before the Spring Festival is 139 yuan per day. After the 30th, the price rises to 381 yuan per day. If you choose a weekly rent package, you can enjoy a discount price of 359 yuan per day. . A rental car also raised the rent. The cheapest sedan is the 1.6-liter automatic stop Buick Excelle. The price is 202 yuan per day a few days before the Spring Festival and it rises to 376 yuan per day during the Spring Festival. With the approaching of the Spring Festival, the inventory of the rental car line has been continuously reduced, and the rent is also rising. Therefore, the time for setting the car should be sooner rather than later. Although some medium and small car dealers did not raise their prices, they added a threshold for the minimum period of rent. “We do not raise prices every Spring Festival. Cheaper A-class automatics are 180-200 yuan per day. However, they rent for at least 15 days during the Spring Festival and the minimum period is 10 days for the off-season.†Li of Qingdao Rida Car Rental Co. According to the manager, the dealers entered the peak period of the Spring Festival Car Rental at the end of December, and the reservation rate has reached 80% before and after the Lunar New Year. Most of the rental cars are customers whose home is within 500 kilometers from Qingdao. Near the Spring Festival, the rental price of the car rose, but the reporter also found some doorway. The first is to choose a car rental company in the city's general business district to be cheaper than the airport and train stations. Secondly, it is better to choose the car company 's recommended model car status, while the long-term car rental proposal to choose a car rental package, the price is relatively favorable. "Share private car" concept to be universal In an interview, the reporter found that during and after the lunar new year, many car rental companies had experienced shortage of vehicles. Some companies did not choose to purchase new cars, but instead developed private car rental business. “Our company has a total of more than 30 small cars and we can still meet the car rental needs of our customers. However, vehicles will not be enough for the 1st to the 51st and the 11th and the Spring Festival.†The local private car in Qingdao, the owner of the holiday to go out to play, the basic use less than the car, the rented private car to rent out at least 2,000 yuan for seven days of the Spring Festival. However, there are also hidden concerns about the rental of private cars by car rental companies. Mr. Zhao, head of Xinkaida Car Rental Co., Ltd. , said that their company's vehicles are all purchased by the company and they do not undertake affiliated services. Mr. Zhao said: “Private cars that are affiliated with are prone to disputes. In the event of a violation of regulations or a traffic accident, the owner, the car rental company, the renter, and the insurance company will all be involved and the payment will become complicated.†The reporter interviewed most private cars. Owners of the car also said that because of their cherishing of the car, it is difficult to accept the method of leasing to others.
