No flights, no tourists, no business trips, no car rental. In short, everything is missing to keep the rental of cars on track. There is a dramatic drop in turnover for rental and shared car companies. Rental companies report a drop in turnover of around 70 percent. 

The demand at international airports is virtually nil because there is hardly any travel. But most people are also at home nationally, so there is no demand. This also means that, where contractually possible, rental companies return the cars to the dealers.

In a letter to the ministries of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure & Water Management, sector association Bovag asks to take compensation measures for the affiliated entrepreneurs. In the rental, sharing, lease and car sectors, among others, the expected fall in turnover is significant, the industry association reports in an urgent letter.

Because the rental companies and leasing companies hardly use new cars within car rental, the entire chain comes to a standstill. In a video interview with Automotive earlier today, the Bovag director proposed, among other things, to defer bpm payments.

Large rental companies, such as Hertz itself, usually use between 400 and 600 cars a month. On the other hand, major rental companies are returning between 500 and 1.000 cars earlier this month to the dealers. The market is now about 10 percent of what it normally is.

Withdrawing the order from leasing and rental companies also leads to a poor short-term forecast of new car sales, Bovag reports.
