I've always wondered what influences them. I actually figured that it was related to fame in the nearest city. But today, in La Theine, they were gonna charge me 998g, which is lie 4x more than ever before.
So now, I think it's based on use - there were around 15-20 people renting right when I was there, going to Abyssea - La Theine.
But, I don't know. Anyone have any info?
Chocobo Rental Prices
Chocobo Rental Prices
I do believe it is on how many people have rented a chocobo recently from that zone.
Yup, wiki states something around 10%+ per Chocobo being used.
Interestingly, found this in a pXI file. Definitely not related to the official game, but might have similar structures.

Sweet thanks everybody!!
It's definitely something along the lines of Semimmortals quote. Once upon a time the chocobo at mea used to regularly cost about 2.5k, and chocobos from Jeuno were expensive enough that people would check upper lower and port to see which one had the lowest price before hiring one.
These days there are just so many warps, and all the exp camps switched to ToAU that there really isn't a great need for chocobos anymore. That's why they're usually floored at ~250 at crags, until Abyssea came out, now they're starting to rise a little more.

if you really think that is a bad choco price, you obviously dont remember the RMT of 04-06 they had the choco prices freakin crazy high, sometimes jueno prices were 2k something, Mea telepoint was an easy 2-3k also... so dont worry, it will go down soon.. but least its not THAT high currently!

Jesus people, some of you obviously didn't play pre-level sync update. Chocobo prices were cheap at 1.7k
