Voodoo Economics, AKA Renting a Car in Denver

I’m vacationing in Colorado in a few weeks and have been watching rental car prices jump all over the place. In the past week and a half, the rate for a compact car has ranged anywhere from $67 to $200 for a week. It seems there’s a random number generator in play. Moral of the story? Keep checking rates and book when it’s cheap.
