Economy Cars Lead the Market

In 2023, economy cars reigned supreme, grabbing a whopping 35% share of the car rental market.  Their compact size and budget-friendly pricing make them the perfect choice for navigating airports and zipping around cities.

Airport Dominates Applications

Travelers taking to the skies are the primary drivers of car rental demand.  The airport transport segment secured the largest revenue share (40%) in 2023 due to the significant rise in global air travel.

Impact of Global Events on the Car Rental Market

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has had a multifaceted impact on the car rental market.  Travel restrictions, airspace closures, and economic sanctions imposed on Russia have significantly dampened tourism in the region.  This has led to a decline in car rental demand in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia and Ukraine.  However, the impact on the global market is expected to be temporary, with car rental companies in neighboring regions potentially experiencing a surge in demand due to rerouted travel plans.

Economic Slowdown

An economic slowdown can lead to a decrease in disposable income, potentially impacting discretionary spending on travel and car rentals.  Businesses might also reduce travel budgets during economic downturns, further affecting car rental demand.  However, car rentals can sometimes be seen as a more economical alternative to car ownership during such periods. This is because consumers can avoid the costs associated with car maintenance, insurance, and depreciation.  Furthermore, car rental companies may introduce promotional offers or discounts to attract customers during economic slowdowns.

North America Is Expected To Retain Its Dominance In The Car Rental Market

The increasing number of leisure and business trips, both domestic and international, fuels market growth in North America.

A continuous shift in consumer preference towards rental services and the presence of prominent car rental companies like Avis Budget Group and Enterprise Rent-a-Car further accelerate revenue generation in the region.  Recent initiatives by service providers have led to increased service utilization in various cities.  For instance, Uber Technologies Inc. announced plans to introduce a Turo-like peer-to-peer car rental service in North America in June 2023.

The growing adoption of electric cars and rising environmental consciousness among consumers in North America are significant factors driving the market.  Over 70% of Americans reportedly prefer to rent an electric vehicle to test the technology before committing to purchasing one.
