-Selling PPE was a huge limited time opportunity. I say “was”, because it’s mostly dead at this point. Many people made their entire years salary within days. And much, much more than that in a month.

-Selling products online is another opportunity that has been greatly impacted. With retail stores mostly closed, online sales for many products have been booming on every online marketplace.

People who price gouged and potentially kept PPE out of the hands of those who needed it most? I find myself wishing they were stuck with inventory they bought at high prices just so they get bit in the @$$ by their greed.

Not necessarily. There were plenty of opportunities to make money without gouging.

For those looking to lock in on a monthly rental rate.

Corp codes don't bring down the price. and its a 1 way.

Not guaranteed as it doesnt pull up on 12 month search.l, but there are some other good deals out there.

Add $20 DOLLAR OFF WEEKLY for further discount.
Awesome price indeed. But noway I'll drive all the way up for this. Anything you found for closer to Tri-state area?

I'm sure there were plenty of price gougers. But there are so many who would be labeled as such were and are not. When the world's biggest manufacturer gets shut down for weeks, the backlog increases drastically and prices shoot up. Even manufacturers who aren't going through brokers and middlemen have seen prices shoot up on some products by >300%. And this is just on a few products that I know about.

People are wary of posting long term deals, they end up going down the drain pretty fast.

This may just be part of the usual  one-way drive-out promos all the rental companies run every spring from FL, and fall to FL.

Makes sense, but looking around there are some good ones out there that can lock in for 12 months.

Max 28 days on their "Drive Out" promo. Try extending it for even one day and you'll jump to the regular monthly rate. No way to extend it past 28.

You gotta do your own research, just search location by location, search 12 months.

I believe you can find in the 600 range without corp codes.

What would you do about insurance on a rental that long?

I personally dont usally do long term rentals.

CC would cover at some companies, it's the way the contract is written, they rewrite it every 30 days....

Also you can buy rental liability insurance, or if you have a second car it's very likely it's on there.
