Travel Demand and App-Based Booking Drive Car Rental Revenue Toward USD 234.50 Billion by 2035
Rental companies collected USD 128.50 billion worldwide in 2025, and the Car Rental market will grow to USD 136.47 billion in 2026 and USD 234.50 billion by 2035, a 6.20% CAGR across 2025-2035.
Radial Insights measures the Car Rental market as revenue from short-term and long-term rental of passenger cars, SUVs and light vans to consumers and businesses through airport, downtown and neighborhood branches, websites and apps. It includes rental fees, insurance waivers and add-ons sold with the rental. It excludes chauffeur-driven services, ride hailing fares, full-service operating leases of three years or more and proceeds from selling used fleet cars.
The industry recovered unevenly after the pandemic. Avis Budget Group reported 2025 revenue of USD 11.7 billion and Hertz reported USD 8.5 billion, while Sixt posted record 2025 revenue of EUR 4.28 billion, up 8.7% on a currency-adjusted basis. Large US players spent 2025 rebuilding margins after write-downs on electric vehicle fleets, while European operators kept growing through airport expansion and premium vehicles.
Rideshare and gig driver rental is the fastest-growing segment at an 8.40% CAGR, followed by online and app bookings at 7.80%. Asia Pacific (APAC) is the fastest-growing region at 7.55% a year as domestic tourism in China, India, Japan and Southeast Asia lifts self-drive demand. North America remains the largest region.
Fleet costs are the key profit swing factor. Avis reported per-unit fleet costs of USD 316 a month in the third quarter of 2026, up 4%, so rental firms that buy cars cheaply and resell them well can grow revenue without sacrificing margins.

Rideshare and Gig Driver Rental Leads Purposes at 8.40%
Leisure and tourism is the largest purpose and grows at 6.60%, supported by international travel and domestic road trips. Business travel grows at 4.60% because video meetings have permanently replaced some trips. Insurance replacement rentals grow at 5.20%, tied to accident volumes and longer repair times for complex vehicles. Rideshare and gig driver rental grows fastest at 8.40%, as drivers who do not own suitable cars rent weekly vehicles for ride hailing and delivery work, often through programs with Uber and other platforms.
Online and App Bookings Grow at 7.80% Against 2.90% for Counter Sales
Online and app channels capture most new bookings because customers compare prices, choose vehicles and skip the counter with digital keys. Offline and counter bookings grow at only 2.90%, mostly from walk-up airport demand and corporate accounts using travel agents.
SUVs Lead Vehicle Classes at 7.40%
SUVs grow fastest at 7.40% because families and leisure travelers want space and all-weather capability. Luxury and premium rentals grow at 7.00%, a niche where Sixt and the Avis First service focus. Vans and utility vehicles grow at 5.90%, helped by small business and moving demand. Economy and compact cars grow at 5.60% and remain the core of fleets in Europe and Asia.
Airport Rentals Grow at 6.50% Versus 5.80% Off-Airport
Airport locations capture the recovery in air travel and command higher daily rates, so they grow at 6.50%. Off-airport and neighborhood branches grow at 5.80%, serving insurance replacement, local leisure and rideshare drivers.
Long Term and Subscription Rentals Grow at 7.10%
Rentals of one month or more, including car subscriptions, grow at 7.10% as consumers and small firms avoid long loan commitments. Short term rentals of under a month grow at 6.00% and still generate most revenue.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Rental Firms Are Becoming Fleet Operators for Robotaxis
In July 2025, Avis Budget Group announced a multi-year partnership to serve as Waymo's fleet operations partner in Dallas, handling vehicle readiness, maintenance and depot operations ahead of a public launch slated for 2026. In October 2026, Hertz-backed Oro Mobility secured a USD 80 million strategic equity investment. Hertz said in August 2026 that Oro's first autonomous vehicle partnership, with Uber's robotaxi program, is on track to begin in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Premium Delivery Services Are Expanding
In October 2026, Avis Budget Group extended its Avis First premium service to London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle, bringing it to more than 30 airport and city locations in North America and Europe. The service includes vehicle delivery, premium cars and concierge support booked through the Avis app.
AI Inspection Is Cutting Turnaround Time
In April 2025, Hertz and UVeye partnered to deploy AI vehicle inspection, starting at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport and expanding to major US airports. Automated scans speed damage checks at return, reduce disputes and flag tire and underbody wear before the next rental.
Operators Are Rebalancing Away From EV-Heavy Fleets
Rental firms learned that EV repair costs and falling resale values hurt profits. Avis booked a USD 518 million impairment on certain US EV rental vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operators now add EVs selectively where charging and demand support them, rather than by fleet-wide targets.
Restraints and Challenges
Volatile Fleet Costs and Resale Values
Rental profitability depends on buying cars cheaply and selling them for close to book value. Avis reported per-unit fleet costs of USD 316 a month in the third quarter of 2026, up 4%. When used car prices fall faster than expected, companies must take write-downs, as Hertz and Avis both did on EVs.
Recall Compliance Grounds Vehicles
US law has required rental companies since 2016 to ground vehicles with open safety recalls until they are repaired. Operators track open campaigns through the NHTSA recall database, and large recalls can take thousands of cars out of service at peak periods, reducing utilization.
Heavy Losses at Some Large Operators
Hertz reported a 2025 net loss of USD 747 million and Avis reported a 2025 net loss of USD 995 million, mainly because of fleet write-downs and high interest costs. Weak balance sheets limit spending on technology and new locations. Both companies have since shifted to younger fleets and tighter cost control, and Avis returned to a quarterly profit of USD 199 million in the third quarter of 2026, but high debt loads still leave little room for error if travel demand weakens.
Airport Concession Fees and Local Taxes
Airports and cities charge concession fees and rental car taxes that raise the price paid by customers. These charges push some travelers toward ride hailing or peer-to-peer rentals that avoid airport fees. In popular tourist cities, fees and taxes can add a large share to the base daily rate, which makes price comparison harder for customers and squeezes the margin that operators can keep.
Growth Drivers
International Travel and Airport Traffic Keep Lifting Rental Days
Air travel and tourism drive most rental days, especially at airports where rates are highest. Sixt grew 2025 revenue 8.7% on a currency-adjusted basis to EUR 4.28 billion, with EBT up 19.5% to EUR 400.5 million and a fleet of 196,900 vehicles, and it expects another record of EUR 4.45 billion to EUR 4.60 billion in 2026. Avis Budget Group expanded Avis First to London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle in October 2026 to capture high-value travelers. Domestic tourism in Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Middle East is adding new self-drive customers who once relied on tour buses or drivers. Rising passenger traffic at airports in Saudi Arabia, India and Southeast Asia brings new rental counters and app-based pickups. Radial Insights estimates that travel growth adds about 1.6 percentage points of annual growth through 2035, the largest single driver.
Digital Booking and Fleet Efficiency Raise Revenue Per Car
Apps, dynamic pricing and connected vehicles let operators rent each car more days per month, and connected cars report fuel level, mileage and location automatically, removing manual checks at return. Hertz averaged 81% vehicle utilization in 2025 with an average fleet age below ten months, and its revenue rose 10% year on year to USD 2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Avis reported third quarter 2026 revenue of USD 3.4 billion, net income of USD 199 million and utilization of 74.0%, up 2 points. Digital check-in and keyless pickup cut staffing costs and let branches handle more customers. AI inspection, such as the Hertz and UVeye system, shortens turnaround between rentals. We credit digital tools and fleet efficiency with roughly 1.1 points of the yearly CAGR.
Gig Work and Autonomous Fleets Create New Customers
Ride hailing and delivery drivers rent cars by the week when they cannot buy one, a business that grows at 8.40% a year. Rental companies are also becoming service partners for autonomous vehicle fleets: Avis handles fleet operations for Waymo in Dallas, and Hertz-backed Oro Mobility raised USD 80 million in October 2026 to grow its autonomous vehicle services. These contracts use the depots, cleaning crews and maintenance shops that rental firms already run. Our model attributes about 0.8 percentage points of annual growth to gig driver demand and autonomous fleet services.
Opportunities
Car Subscription and Long Term Rental
Monthly subscriptions that bundle insurance and maintenance appeal to younger urban drivers and expatriates. This segment grows at 7.10% a year, and operators can use older fleet cars to serve it profitably before resale.
Self-Drive Rental in Emerging Asia and the Middle East
India, Indonesia and the Gulf states have large populations of new drivers and rising tourism. App-based players such as Zoomcar and local franchises of global brands can build self-drive rental where chauffeured cars still dominate.
North America Holds the Largest Share While Asia Pacific Grows Fastest on Domestic Tourism
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) accounted for 31.20% of Car Rental market revenue in 2025, or USD 40.09 billion. Revenue in Asia Pacific (APAC) will reach USD 83.02 billion by 2035, growing at a 7.55% CAGR, the fastest of any region. Japan's rental groups such as Toyota Rent a Car and Orix, China's eHi Car Services and India's app-based Zoomcar serve rising domestic travel across Asia Pacific (APAC).
North America
North America held 34.10% of 2025 revenue, about USD 43.82 billion. North America grows at 5.05% to USD 71.72 billion in 2035. Avis Budget Group, Hertz and Enterprise Mobility dominate North America, and Hertz alone operates about 11,000 locations worldwide across its brands.
Europe
Europe represented 24.60% of 2025 revenue at USD 31.61 billion. Europe grows at 5.55% to USD 54.25 billion by 2035. Sixt, with 2025 revenue of EUR 4.28 billion, and Europcar lead in Europe, where summer tourism peaks drive fleet planning.
Latin America
Latin America took 5.40% of 2025 revenue, or USD 6.94 billion. Latin America grows at 6.75% to USD 13.33 billion by 2035. Brazil's Localiza and Movida operate large fleets and also serve app drivers in Latin America. Mexico's tourist corridors around Cancun and Los Cabos form the other major rental hub, with heavy airport demand from US and Canadian visitors to Latin America.
Middle East
The Middle East accounted for 3.10% of 2025 revenue, about USD 3.98 billion. The Middle East grows at 7.35% to USD 8.10 billion by 2035. Tourism programs in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are lifting airport rental demand in the Middle East.
Africa
Africa held 1.60% of 2025 revenue, or USD 2.06 billion. Africa grows at 7.05% to USD 4.06 billion by 2035. South Africa, Morocco and Egypt account for most tourist rentals in Africa, and global brands operate there mainly through franchise partners that run airport counters in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Marrakech and Cairo.
| Region | 2025 (USD Billion) | 2025 share | 2035 (USD Billion) | CAGR 2025-2035 |

Three US Groups and Sixt Lead a Market Where Digital Challengers Target Niches
The Car Rental market is moderately concentrated in North America and Europe, where a few large groups control airport counters, and fragmented in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where local franchises and independents dominate. Scale matters because large buyers get better fleet prices from automakers and spread technology costs over more rentals.
Global Full-Service Rental Groups
Enterprise Mobility, privately owned, runs the Enterprise, National and Alamo brands and is known for its dense neighborhood branch network and insurance replacement business. Avis Budget Group operates Avis, Budget and Zipcar in about 180 countries and reported 2025 revenue of USD 11.7 billion. Hertz Global Holdings runs Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty and reported 2025 revenue of USD 8.5 billion while rebuilding margins.
European Leaders
Sixt SE focuses on premium vehicles and airport locations, posting record 2025 revenue of EUR 4.28 billion and EBT of EUR 400.5 million. Europcar Mobility Group, which also owns Goldcar and Ubeeqo, serves leisure travelers and car sharing customers across Europe.
Regional Champions in Latin America and Asia
Localiza Rent a Car is the largest rental company in Brazil and runs a large used car sales arm, while Movida competes in rental and fleet leasing. Toyota Rent a Car, Orix Auto and Times Mobility lead Japan, and eHi Car Services serves China. Carzonrent serves corporate customers in India.
Peer-to-Peer and App-Based Platforms
Turo and Getaround connect private car owners with renters through apps, offering a wider choice of vehicles without owning a fleet. Zoomcar runs a self-drive marketplace in India and other emerging markets. These platforms compete on price and convenience in cities, while traditional groups respond with their own app booking, contactless pickup and subscription offers.

Primary Interview Insights
How are you planning fleet purchases for the next two years?
Fleet managers we interviewed said they are buying more hybrids and fewer full EVs after resale losses in 2024 and 2025. They are also holding cars longer when used prices are strong.
How has customer booking behavior changed?
Operators said most bookings now come through apps and websites, and customers book closer to travel dates. They told us digital check-in has cut counter queues sharply at busy airports.
How important are rideshare drivers as customers?
Neighborhood branch managers said weekly rentals to ride hailing and delivery drivers keep older fleet cars earning between peak travel seasons. They noted higher wear and tire replacement costs for these cars.
Do you see robotaxi fleet services as a real business?
Executives told us depot, cleaning and maintenance contracts for autonomous fleets fit their existing operations. Most expect the business to stay small until robotaxi services scale beyond a handful of cities.
How are daily rates trending?
Rental managers said daily rates have stabilized after the post-pandemic spike, with small increases in premium and SUV classes. They expect fleet cost control, not price increases, to drive profit growth.
