Ohio’s John Glenn Columbus Airport Teams Up With Colorado-based Startup, Provides Affordable Parking Year-Round
There’s no question. COVID has changed the way we live, travel and do business. Some of us are taking advantage of the ability to work from home while traveling across the country. Others have been itching to travel since travel bans were put into place.
Since the pandemic, for example, some manufacturers are reporting the sale of new and used recreational vehicles (RVs) are up almost 300%, even with a few months in sales losses, supply chain and labor disruption issues. One crowdsharing platform reported that 80% of their RVs were rented by new account holders, that millennials are most likely to rent an RV in 2021 and
68% of millennials stating that the pandemic made RVing more appealing than ever before.
So, where are these RVs stored when not being used? Where are vehicles being stored when their owners are traveling? Where do city dwellers store their boats, luxury cars and motorcycles when affordable space is so hard to come by?
Enter STOW IT, a Colorado-based startup similar to Airbnb, for storing valuable items.
