ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- As more people planing to travel, inventory at car rental companies is slim.
AAA said travel is up 60% compared to last year and with the pandemic induced shortage, if you find a rental car, be prepared for the price tag
“They were expensive! We were just here in March and the economy to compact (cars) were $30 now the least expensive one we found was $50,” said Mary Saldana, a visitor from California.
To avoid that line at the desk, AAA said to try to make all your reservations in advance
“We heard to book early because there is a shortage of rental cars that you wouldn t be able to walk up to the window and get the car of your choice, and we are traveling with a family of five, so we reserved early and got what we wanted,” said Ann Marie Condon, visitor from Boston.

As streamers face an escalating battle with American cities over local utility fees, one judge issues a first-of-its-kind ruling as another judge hears First Amendment arguments over the digital transmission of Queen s Gambit and Cobra Kai.
If 2020 became the year that American cities, burdened by a health pandemic and desperate to find new revenue, declared war on Netflix and other streamers, the year ended with a potentially important court ruling that suggests that the fight won t be an easy one for streaming services looking to avoid local taxation. In two separate orders, a Missouri judge ruled that townships in her state had alleged facts sufficient to support allegations that Netflix, Hulu and DirecTV were covered by Missouri s Video Services Providers Act and that these defendants couldn t avoid utility fees by holding up the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
