Replacing standard renting would be like Uber replacing rental cars, not Uber replacing taxis

This was a possibility at a time when AirBNBs were significantly cheaper than hotels but now that prices have gone way up I’m right back to going for hotels. Not worth going through the trouble of not knowing what to expect / what kind of renter you’ll be dealing with when there’s no price incentive anymore.

Uber is still significantly cheaper and more convenient than a cab for me.

Cab prices tend to be more consistent across all times of day and location. In Boston an Uber 10 miles west from the airport can cost upwards of $120 depending on the time. A cab would be $60.

The same Uber to the airport is typically much cheaper always at $40.

Fuck traditional cabs dude, here in Mexico they charge u whatever they want, one day it could be $30 to the airport and the next one at the same time $70.

I don’t use taxis really that much, but if I have to I’m taking an Uber.

They won’t. A ton of traditional hotel business is business travel. No reputable company is sending an employee to a VRBO while they’re working out of town.
