July 20, 2025. This week, we highlight a critical minivan shortage due to a Chrysler and Dodge safety recall, causing prices to soar above $2,000/week—over three times the median. This scarcity is boosting SUV demand, pushing their prices 20-32% higher. Meanwhile, convertibles shine as the best deal at $368/week, nearly half the typical price, thanks to new inventory. Economy and midsize cars stay within normal summer ranges, with last-minute booking results varying by vehicle and location.
