I’ve noticed some real beaters in the fleet this year with crunched in doors, bad scrapes, and rust damage – I was wondering. Doesn’t inspire a lot of cofidence for maintenance and reliability, especially for longer drives.
There’s still a post-pandemic supply-demand issue for companies that deals with fleet cars. Rental car companies aren’t really an option because the rates are still 2-3X higher than pre-pandemic prices. On the one hand, this continues to dissuade many people from touristic road trips but it also impacts the tourism industry that relies on road travellers.

The fact you can pay a bot to book a flex the second it becomes available and Communauto seem fine with that doesn’t help either
