Significant Growth in the Travel and Tourism Sector
The industry is witnessing continuous growth, boosted by rising mobility and tourism activities both domestically and overseas. Business travel, together with the desire for flexible mobility arrangements, has strengthened demand for car rentals quite profoundly. The size of the United States business travel market was USD 241.0 Billion in 2024, according to a report by IMARC Group. The market is anticipated to grow to USD 500.0 Billion by 2033, at a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% between 2025-2033. Furthermore, post-pandemic recovery has also reinstated a spur in leisure travel, adding fuel to the growth of the market. Customers are preferring rentals over owning cars because of its cost-saving benefits and ease, especially in major cities. Also, the seamless integration of technological advancements like smartphones and contactless rentals has positively impacted customer satisfaction, fueling North America vehicle rental market expansion.
Shift Toward Sustainability and Innovation
One of the key trends in the industry is the movement towards green and sustainable alternatives. Most rental businesses are adding electric and hybrid cars to their fleet to cater to the increasing demand for eco-friendly transport. Electric and hybrid vehicle sales made up a record 21.2% of light-duty vehicle sales in the United States in the third quarter of 2024. The rise was driven mainly by battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which made up 8.9% of sales, and hybrid vehicles, which accounted for 10.6%. This aligns with stricter emission regulations and consumer preferences for greener alternatives. Furthermore, the adoption of AI-driven analytics and IoT-enabled vehicles is transforming fleet management, optimizing operations, and improving efficiency. The market is also witnessing a rise in partnerships between rental companies and ride-sharing platforms, offering customers seamless mobility solutions. These innovations are reshaping the North America vehicle rental market outlook, making it more competitive and customer-centric.
