Increases of over 300 percent are being reported.
We all know how much fun rental cars can be to drive, even if you re talking about something as average as a Mazda 3, but you can hire cool cars too, including stuff like a Chevy Camaro. Mix a rental car with a spring break vacation, and you ve got a recipe for fun, but some holidaymakers may find their joy cut in half.
The Points Guy is reporting that there s a shortage of rental cars available, and this shortage is a result of the pandemic. As a result, rental car rates are now soaring, with some Arizona, Hawaii, and Florida agencies charging as much as $300 per day for economy -sized cars.

Goodbye, four-cylinder.
The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most beloved muscle cars in America, and despite a recent recall due to axle shafts possibly missing a retaining ring, and Chevrolet halting production at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, this high-performance sports car continues to sell well. In an effort to stay relevant in a world that is moving towards hybrid and electric cars at a rapid pace, Chevrolet has now made a stunning announcement: as of 2022, some Camaro cars will be powered by high-performance turbocharged three-cylinder engines. Yes, that s correct. Only three cylinders.

All because one key component is lacking.
This was bound to happen eventually to another major General Motors production facility and now it has. GM has confirmed to Automotive News its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan will be idled beginning this Monday through the end of this month, if not longer. The reason? A lack of semiconductor chips, a crisis that continues to plague the auto industry at large, with the exception of Toyota.
Like other affected automakers, GM is using its existing semiconductor chip supply for highly profitable and extremely popular vehicles, mainly trucks and SUVs. Slow sellers and some newer models are being sacrificed instead, including the Chevy Camaro, Malibu, Cadillac CT4 and CT5, all of which are built at Lansing Grand River.
