Gary Stoller writes at USA TODAY that many Car rental companies are trucking in thousands of vehicles to meet surging demand in the storm-damaged Gulf Coast region.
Government and relief agencies, insurance companies, reconstruction businesses and individuals are feeding that demand.
Meanwhile, the rental agencies are coping with closed or destroyed facilities and badly depleted fleets. Storm damage and an earlier surge in one-way rentals by gulf residents fleeing Hurricane Katrina have left them with few cars to rent.
