Is there a large event in Greensboro area April 5th - April 13th? (High Point: car rental)

[leggo]

The reason I ask - is that car rentals from the Greensboro airport spiked from 252$ for the week to 601$- for a compact. <YIKES>

I checked all the major car rental companies at the airport and they all have a similar spike in price for just that week. The week before and the week after are at the much lower price.

Luckily I locked in a few weeks ago at the 252$ price which I thought was high, but I figured I would lock in anyways. Boy am I glad I did!!. I was down in the area last week and paid 119$ for a full size - so I originally thought that the $252 price was nuts.

Anyways just wondering if there was some large event like a race, convention, concert or something that would make the price go up 150% just for that one week.

thanks

April 7 - 13 is the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, NC. So yes, there is a large event in the Triad during that time.

don't even bother trying to get a hotel room during that time either.

thanks for the info. I got the fabled Skybus tickets for 10 bucks so we are driving the 3 hours to Greenville.

I was just a little surprised to see the car prices take such a dramatic price jump - capitalism at its finest!!
