Part two in a continuing saga: I today called my one national car rental
lead for vans with lifts, National Car Rental. The guy in customer service
said that there may be no vans around because they don't see a demand for
them. Reminded me of the unemployment statisticians who don't count the
people who have given up. He said that if anyone calls him looking for a
van with a lift, he'll both log the call for his bosses and he will call
your destination city's National Car Rental agencies and check each one
for you. The gist of our conversation was that their agencies are
franchises that often have "special-purpose" vehicles to fill local needs,
that there's no collection of information on vans with lifts, that there's
no general need seen to pay attention to this niche market, and that
they'll pay attention if there's money in it. The person I talked with is
at 800-627-7777. Ask for Marty in Customer Service and he'll run down your
request.
