Matt Landau wanted to find a rental car at a reasonable price — it was cheaper for him to rent a U-Haul truck Welcome to America in 2021 when prices for the most unexpected items have soared. AndrewKeshner
Up until last week, Matt Landau had never actually driven a U-Haul truck. He is not moving house, nor is he moving other people’s stuff.
For Landau, a U-Haul was not his first choice, of course. At the start of the pandemic, millions of consumers noticed a shortage in toilet paper, hand sanitizer and Clorox CLX wipes. And now, more than a year later, people like Landau are finding it hard to purchase other items for a reasonable price.
Aside from the truck, Landau has nothing to do with the moving business. He is the founder of VRMB, a consulting company that helps vacation rental owners and managers grow their businesses . He and two members of his staff are on the island for a weeklong trip to visit clients, and he is mixing in some sightseeing.
Landau’s car-rental dilemma is similar to the predicament many people have found themselves in during the pandemic: struggling to find certain items at a reasonable price. This is the summer 2021 edition. We’ve already seen this pandemic mismatch on supply and demand. The shortages and delays create a “domino effect as rental-car companies work to increase their inventory of new vehicles in time to meet the increased demand for domestic road travel,” said AAA spokeswoman Julie Hall. People want to see the world, and their friends and family, after missing out on summer fun last year.
