As per the information given by DataReportal, in 2025, 34.44 million cellular mobile connections were functioning in Australia. Additionally, people are using mobile websites and apps to reserve cars on rent, given the convenience and on-the-fly access that smartphones provide across a range of services.

The infusion of mobile payment systems, real-time information, and global positioning system (GPS) technology is improving the rental experience, making it more convenient and easier to use. As Australians increasingly welcome mobile technology, they are also opting for the convenience of car rental booking on-the-go, fueling the growth of online rental services in the country.

Increase in Domestic and International Tourism

The constant rise in domestic and international travel activities is driving the requirement for car rentals online in Australia.

Online travel agencies are addressing this boom by presenting improved price terms, wider car categories, and extended pick-up/drop-off services, thus rendering car rentals a convenient choice for travelers.
