Christmas 2020 - Insane Pricing

I just went to book a rental for 4 days over Christmas from Edinburgh Airport and the pricing is ridiculous!
£330 PER DAY for a Group D car. That’s at least 4 times the usual rate. Are Hertz trying to recover their lost earnings during lockdown by extorting people over Christmas? They won’t be getting any of my money at that disgusting price.
I expect this price will readjust to something more sensible nearer the time, but is anyone seeing this kind of crazy behaviour at other locations or time periods?
Also tried using Hertz points and it comes up with no availability...
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a company that tries to extort customers with unreasonable pricing more than Hertz. The fact you get different pricing based on which country you appear to be located in, despite receiving the same end product, shows what a racket they run.
