Hertz said it is relocated "thousands" of cars to the New York City area in the days just following

Rental car companies are driving in tens of thousands luxor hotel and casino of extra vehicles to help avert a holiday shortage in the New York City region.  But it's not enough to ease the post-Sandy luxor hotel and casino crush during an already almost impossible time to find a car in the area.
Sandy destroyed or damaged between 100,000 and 250,00 cars, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association  and one rental car company estimate provided to TN. At the same time, the storm closed, hampered, or damaged rental car branches and vehicles throughout the New York area. The final blow is transit: Sandy injected enough uncertainty into regional rail and bus service schedules that many would-be riders booked rental cars. All just in time for the biggest travel weekend of the year.
"Tight availability is typical of any holiday weekend," explained Paula Rivera, a spokesperson for Hertz. "For those who haven't made reservations, the availability is extremely tight at this point in time. So the probability of securing a car for travel luxor hotel and casino over Thanksgiving weekend is slim," she said.
Travel luxor hotel and casino websites had scant options Tuesday afternoon. Travelocity returned no available rental cars at all. Orbitz had 18 cars in total for all of New York City. Other sites delivered more results, at higher than average luxor hotel and casino prices, and often suggested cargo or moving vans as the cheaper options.
Enterprise, which owns several rental car companies, said some neighborhood branches remained luxor hotel and casino closed luxor hotel and casino because they just didn't have cars. "Although we are working hard to increase our local fleet as quickly as possible, there are still significant waiting lists in some communities where residents are requesting replacements for their damaged vehicles," said Matt Darrah and executive vice president at Enterprise Holdings. "Despite our best efforts to be prepared, the magnitude of the storm has simply outstripped our resources and manpower in some locations."
Car rental companies don't stockpile cars for disaster. That wouldn't make financial sense. An idle and unrented automobile on a company lot is losing money. So to adapt to spikes in demand, rental companies luxor hotel and casino use sophisticated demand management systems that move cars from region to region.
Hertz said it is relocated "thousands" of cars to the New York City area in the days just following Sandy. Enterprise issued a detailed statement that said 12 thousand cars had been moved in from as far off as Colorado with another 5,000 on the way. An additional 10,000 new cars slated for other regions were being diverted to New York and New Jersey.
"These rental fleets, whether luxor hotel and casino it's Enterprise luxor hotel and casino or Hertz or Budget, they only carry so many excess vehicles because every vehicle sitting on the lot is something that they are paying for," said Paul Eisenstein of the Detroit Bureau , an auto industry expert.
Rental car companies he said, "are not in business to keep vehicles luxor hotel and casino around for an emergency ... They are not going to be keeping luxor hotel and casino tens or hundreds of thousands of extra vehicles around in case there is a hurricane. That's just bad business."
