If you have ever wondered why car rental companies ask for your flight number, here is why. Car rental companies have a high overhead. They spend a lot of money on their offices and their rental cars. In order to be profitable they need to rent their cars as often as possible.

They will be able to coordinate their rental schedule so that they can rent the car as long as possible. They will not need to have the car in the lot all day if you are not arriving until four p.m. Rental companies have more scheduling to do than you realize.
