Car rental “no shows” cost the industry millions each year. And yet, the industry has struggled to implement a uniform reservations policy such as those in the hotel and airline industries. With guaranteed reservations off the table, could prepaid reservations help car rental companies to better manage inventory and satisfy the customer? This year’s Car Rental Show will close with a blue-ribbon panel that will analyze this issue from all sides: operations, IT, OTA and GDS connectivity, revenue management, customer service, card policies and more. Using real case studies and on-the-ground data, along an insider’s analysis of hotel and airline revenue management and pricing strategies, this seminar will examine the growth of the prepaid model, its hurdles to implementation and where progress can be made.
