This is a good point, but pretty much all rental companies have GM vehicles, and renters get stuck with whatever is available. I doubt renters will change their behaviors because they won't be able to effectively avoid GM vehicles. So as a result, rental companies won't change their behavior either.

It will just suck for renters a bit more than before.

Maybe, maybe not. I would pay $10 more per day for a car with CarPlay.

And I would pick Enterprise over Avis if it came down to availability of CarPlay.

[gnicholas]

But is there any chance that one rental company would actually be able to guarantee CarPlay availability (meaning no GM vehicles)? Seems unlikely to me.

I don’t see why not. They buy plenty of non GM cars to rent.

[gnicholas]

Sure, but they can't guarantee that you'll get a non-GM car, since they never know if they'll have availability in advance. Sometimes you show up and they don't have the vehicle type, or any vehicle whatsoever.

I've seen a lot of Toyotas and Kias for rentals. Not a lot of American cars.
