Surprisingly, despite the rise of Uber and Lyft, car rental remains the most sought-after local business in the U.S. With 24,214 car rental companies nationwide, it’s a thriving industry! 🚗✨ One key reason is the continued growth of the travel industry: from 2025 to 2030, airport transport and car rental services are projected to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 8.8%. Ultimately, the promise of convenience, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness means that the car rental business is projected to thrive well into the next decade.
