During the Spring Festival, it was difficult to buy train tickets, air tickets are too expensive, and long-distance buses are too crowded. Choosing what way to go home has become a “headache†problem for people recently.
Mr. Zhang is from Anhui and works for an engineering company in Wenzhou. This year he wants to rent a car home for the New Year.
There are many car rental companies in Wenzhou. Mr. Zhang originally thought that car rental was very convenient. He could run for several days and discovered that the leasing companies had raised the threshold of car rental. Some rents had risen several times, and some had heard that he only rented for 10 days and refused. Some, because he is a foreigner, the deposit will double.
"According to this calculation, 15 days of rent for five or six thousand yuan, it is a bit difficult to bear, or get a car to go home."
Increased barriers to traditional car rental prices
Last week, the reporter visited several automobile companies in the urban area and found that the price of rental cars had risen.
　　 China Auto Rental company customer service staff told reporters that if the start on 1st February (lunar calendar xiii) rent a Kia K2, a term of seven days, the price of 139 yuan / day plus 40 yuan / day insurance premiums, 20 yuan car rental fee, the cost is less than 1,300 yuan. If you rent on February 14th (Lunar Calendar Day 6) during the Spring Festival, the same lease period is 7 days, and the price will increase to 450 yuan/day, totaling 3,450 yuan, and the price increase will be nearly 3 times.
Compared with the compact model, although the mid-size car did not increase prices by 3 times, but due to the large price base, the price increase rate still makes many consumers quibble. Take Toyota Camry as an example. If you rent from February 1, the lease period will be 7 days, 329 yuan/day. If you lease from February 15, you need 684 yuan/day, plus 50 yuan/day insurance premium. And 20 yuan car rental fee, the total cost up to 5158 yuan. The Volkswagen Passat also rose from 479 yuan / day to 900 yuan / day, the price increase also doubled.
The reporter learned from Wenzhou Xinrong Automobile Co., Ltd. that the company has not received short-term orders for three or five days but only for more than 10 days. “The price increase of our company is not yet high, and some car rental companies have doubled their prices during the Spring Festival period.†The staff said that Toyota’s Camry, for example, has an ordinary rental discount of 350 yuan/day – 400 yuan/day. During the Spring Festival, the price rose to 450 yuan / day -500 yuan / day, the price increase of 100 yuan.
In addition to the price bullish, the rental market is also relatively tight. According to Qiu Jindong, chairman of Xinrong Automobile Co., Ltd., according to the experience of previous years, if you want to use the car to rent in advance during the Spring Festival, you may not have a car at the time of temporary car rental. Last year, many consumers recalled the car only two days before the Spring Festival. Most of the favorite cars have been rented out. “We currently have nearly 80 vehicles that do not accept reservations, but these vehicles are expected to be fully rented before and after Lunar New Year holidays.â€
The reporter learned from the interview that many car rental companies have also imposed restrictions on car rental time during the Spring Festival. Some have a minimum lease of 10 days, some have a minimum rental of 15 days, and others restrict the collection of cars on February 15. Before, return the car only after February 26.
In addition, some car rental companies have also increased their car rental deposits for new residents. Some car rental companies are reluctant to take risks and have explicitly stated that they will not rent cars to newcomers.
Online car rental is very risky
While the traditional car rental prices are bullish, some of the more affordable online car rental platforms have emerged quietly.
The reporter learned that taking the example of multiple online car rental platforms such as PP Car Rental, Youyou Car Rental, and Baojia Car Rental, the model refers to the docking of the idle use time of private cars with the needs of the tenants through Internet platforms. Private car owners can publish their own vehicle information and idle time on these platforms. If the tenants have use requirements, they can contact owners through these platforms to conduct car rental transactions.
The reporter found through comparison that compared with the rental business of traditional rental companies, the rental price of online private cars is a lot cheaper, and even some models are half cheaper. For example, in the traditional rental car platform to rent a Buick Excelle needs 153 yuan / day, while the reporter found on the APP rental platform, Buick Excelle only need 80 yuan / day; traditional car rental a Buick GL8 need 489 yuan / day, in the APP rental platform Just 400 yuan / day; Similarly, renting a bicycle Accord also cheaper 38 yuan / day.
Because of the convenient and inexpensive car rental, online private car rental has been welcomed by many owners and drivers. However, there is also a certain risk of this new life.
On January 24, the automotive circulation industry analyst Sang Zhiwei wrote this reminder on Sina Weibo : “ A car rented by a car owner in Beijing through a car rental platform was maliciously mortgaged to a guarantee company. Mortgage deceived a sum of money to leave.The owner of the car could not return his car to the police, because there was a contract and it was defined as an economic dispute.Every year ago, people should pay attention to this type of platform and rent out their own cars. Can you come back?"
Subsequently, the netizen "hing?" Forward, and said "I lost my car, Audi Q3 top import." Due to the failure of the positioning system on Q3, the car rental platform could not find the car for a time. The latest developments of the matter are: the car rental platform accompanied the owner of the “Hing?†to report the case.
Chen Peng, a lawyer, said that there are still many regulatory gaps in online private car rental. For consumers, in the event of an accident, the loss is greater, the risk is higher, because it is a private car rental platform, after the accident is certainly not as good as the amount of compensation for the traditional car rental platform.

“Although it is much more expensive to rent a car than to take a train, it is worthwhile to rent a new one or two thousand dollars after returning home with your new car.

special reminder
Pay more attention to rent a car, pay attention to these three points
What do you need to pay attention to when renting a car? How to deal with accidents on the road?
The reporter consulted a car hire staff. The other party reminded him to pay attention to the following aspects: First of all, to understand the daily limit of the car and the billing rate beyond the limit, and to carefully understand the renewal rules and the lease overtime billing. Provisions to avoid dissent afterwards. In the mention of the car must be careful inspection of the vehicle, first from the appearance of the vehicle to check to see whether the car body scratches, the lights are complete, the car lock is normal and so on. Then open the car cover to check whether there are any abnormalities such as battery, oil, and freezing fluid, and finally enter the cab to conduct a test drive to determine the basic condition of the vehicle.
If there is an accident during the rental period, the treatment is the same as that of the private car. Stop, protect the site, and report the alarm. At the same time, contact the leasing company immediately to explain the details of the accident, take steps to respond to the company's requirements, and wait. Professionals come for accident rescue. Need special attention is that most of the car rental company to pay the insurance premium must be more than 1500 yuan in the accident before they can claim compensation, which means that, like simple vehicle scraping, broken glass, etc., need to be borne by the car rental person .
Industry insiders reminded that when renting a car, you should look for a regular company. When you sign a contract with a rental car, you also need to see the details and ask about the cost to be paid. You must check whether the vehicle's driving license, road maintenance voucher, and strong insurance voucher are complete. Test and test drive.
