U.S. travelers pick car rentals over flights for holidays: travel website Kayak - Reuters
Travel website Kayak is seeing more demand for car rentals than air travel from customers looking to avoid crowds and stay closer to home as U.S. states reopen, Chief Executive Officer Steve Hafner told Reuters on Wednesday.
For those booking flights, Kayak, which is owned by Booking Holdings (BKNG.O), is seeing a preference for cities like Phoenix and Denver over hotspots such as Las Vegas and New York, and for beach destinations like Hawaii and Miami.
“We started Kayak as a flight search engine. I never would have guessed that almost 20 years later, we have cars on our home page.”
