Default HUGE rental car fire in Florida - early April

Had a quick search but couldn't find this posted.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/05/u...rnd/index.html

Last month in Florida over 3500 rentals went up in smoke, the reason given for so many cars parked up is due to COVID-19 and this is mirrored across the US.

Figures from another forum state a car rental fleet usually has around 90% of its cars out on rental at any given time, the remaining 10% are on hand ready to go out.

It is almost exactly the opposite right now with thousands upon thousands cars parked and very few out.

Needless to say this is causing problems, Where to park thousands of cars?

Fire at Florida airport destroys over 3,500 rental cars

Damn. I hope it destroyed the car I rented from there few years ago. Worse car I had ever driven. I had to take it back.
