Car rental prices up for private households
Prices for car rental increased only for the customers defined as private households in the third quarter of 2006 compared with the same quarter in 2005. The increase was 9.2 per cent in this period.
From the third quarter of 2005 to the third quarter of 2006 the prices of car rental as a total increased by 0.6 per cent. However, the prices decreased by 0.8 per cent compared with the second quarter this year.
In the third quarter of 2006, the private and public enterprises constitute 56 per cent of the total turnover. Private households and foreign tourists constitute 21 and 23 per cent respectively.
Revised figures
Because of changes in the base period, and changes in the method for chaining of the index, the time series is revised from the first quarter of 2004. There are small or no changes in the price development compared with previous published figures.
