Letter: Airports Unfair To Car Rental Firms

"Airports Eject Car Rental Vendors" (<I>BTN</I>, March 17) was comprehensive in its scope and pictured fairly all elements of the program, particularly the convenience imposed on the traveler. Perhaps your effort will provoke a response from some airport spokesperson, although I would not hold my breath.

Business travelers are truly the golden geese of modern travel. The airports milk them for a commission of 10 percent-plus on the car rental, a substantial ground rent on parking space used and, in an ever-growing list of communities, a special sales tax to promote some local political boondoggle that the local residents won't support.

Keep writing; we need more solid reporting like this.
