The car rental agencies are having a tough time because they do not have enough cars. Cars are now hard to come by, and they got themselves in a jam when they got rid of too many with Covid.

I was thinking, why don't the car rental agencies get together, find a couple of car models which are being discontinued and a factory that may be be closing, and produce their own cars? I know this wont help the current crisis, but in the long run it may protect them in case it happens again. Not to mention, it would get rid of the middle man. All can invest in a company that build older models specifically for fleet sales.
