Last week, we published our Global Car Rental Sector Market Estimates 2025 report. The global car rental sector has shown resilience and growth since the pandemic, generating an estimated $92 billion in revenues in 2024. This represents a 23% rise over pre-pandemic (2019) revenue levels, fueled by the surge in international travel demand.
Looking ahead, the sector is projected to maintain this upward trajectory, with revenues forecasted to climb to $98 billion by 2026.
Here's a quick look at the key insights from the report.
Key Takeaways
The Americas' Dominance
The Americas is the largest market, generating $53 billion, with a 58% market share, followed by Asia-Pacific at $18 billion, and Europe with a $16 billion valuation. The Asia-Pacific region has surpassed Europe to become the second-largest market, due to faster post-pandemic growth.
Leisure is the Primary Revenue Driver
Leisure travel accounts for a dominant 66% ($60 billion) of global car rental revenue. We estimate leisure travel's market share to hold steady through 2026. Business travel has completed a strong post-pandemic recovery, but amid the looming economic uncertainty, growth is expected to slightly slow in 2025 and pick up again in 2026.
High Digital Penetration
The car rental sector shows high digital adoption, with an estimated 74% of global car rental bookings made online, positioning it as the second most digitally adopted segment in the travel industry.
The global car rental sector is a resilient $92 billion market, driven by leisure travel, with the Americas being the largest market. The sector is rapidly digitizing with 74% of bookings online, with direct bookings driving as much traction as intermediaries.
