Pedata Notes Interest Increasing Despite the Lack of Credit in the RVRA Rental Rate Statistics

SUMMARY: Pedata takes heart as the RVRA Rental Rate Statistics are announced! Rental rates of 2009 surpassed those of 2008.

Phoenix, AZ – The RVRA’s recent survey of dealers concludes that rental rates are up in comparison to 2008. Pedata RV Center and many of their contemporaries are concluding that consumer interest has increased along with the coinciding rental rates. Rental rates are seen as an indication of consumer interest in the industry (as consumers are disinclined to purchase due to the ill effects of the credit crunch).

Pedata RV Center’s Clint Ethington suggested, “An increase in the number of rv rentals means more people want to be in RVs. And when more people want to be in RVs; that’s good news for all of us here in the RV industry. The recent survey results pointed out a huge positive movement for recreational vehicles and the industry.”

People are experiencing tough times in comparison to two or three years ago. But people are also still vacationing. And people looking to vacation with a limited budget are looking to RVs as their solution. It’s one of the more economical and versatile modes of travel available. Gas prices are down since 2008 and people are loading up and moving out.

The RV Rental Association’s (RVRA) survey included the following data:

• It is averaged that rental activity in 2009 will be up 12%
• an estimated 10% of recreational vehicle travelers are planning trips of a shorter duration in comparison to 2008
• an estimated 71% of recreational vehicle travelers are planning trips of equal duration in comparison to 2008
