I dunno - there are a lot of times I prefer to rent a car over uber when I'm on vacation. A place to keep luggage, anytime we travel more than just within a city, etc. Uber more replaces taxis than rental cars.

However, of course, rental cars were allowed to consolidate heavily (and pretty much unregulated) so there were only a couple of companies left: Hertz (Dollar, Thrifty), Enterprise (Alamo, National) and Avis (Budget). So, at most airports, you'd see 7 counters but they were all owned by only 3 companies.
