So tell me, what is the difference when reserving an airline flight in advance as opposed to a last minute ticket? You will probably be paying 2 to 3 times what everyone else paid. Why would not the same economics work for a rental car? I think the rental car company has more of a reason to charge more for a walk-in. It is limited supply. If there are three empty seats on an airplane, it is still going to make the trip. But you want to book one of the three seats available the same day? You will pay top dollar.

Enterprise employees lick their chops when a "walk in" comes in the office. They believe that if the customer is already in the office, they will be able to scare them into a higher rate. Wouldn't you think a company that practices honesty and integrity should have a set price for all their customers? |
