全球豪华汽车租赁市场大小的值d at USD 29.95 billion in 2021. The market is projected to grow from USD 39.54 billion in 2022 to USD 65.42 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with luxury car rental services experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global market had exhibited a decline of 55.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019.


A luxury car is more expensive than a standard car and offers better performance, levels of comfort, quality, and status. The term refers to both the characteristics of the car and the manufacturer's brand recognition. Luxury car rentals are growing in popularity. There are companies or groups that rent out high-end vehicles for a fee. Depending on the person, this arrangement may endure for an hour, a day, or even weeks. Luxurious transportation, the ability to choose from a variety of models, and assistance in projecting the appropriate image for particular events are some of the main factors driving exotic vehicle rentals' appeal.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Lockdown Restrictions Dented Growth Prospects For Luxury Car Rental Market


的COVID-19 pandemic-induced锁定和永川市c crisis significantly impacted various manufacturers' financials in 2020. The COVID-19 crisis caused market uncertainty, supply chain disruption, panic among customer segments, and business decline. However, the market only recovered after the lockdown was lifted in most countries and government affairs resumed normally. Due to lockdowns, as a measure to control the spread of the virus, rental car companies were obliged to go into survival mode, selling off as many cars as they could. Furthermore, significant corporations, such as Hertz (the parent company of Thrifty and Dollar car rental brands) and Advantage Rent a Car, and Europcar, declared bankruptcy in 2020. However, it came out of bankruptcy by June 2021.


On-airport rentals account for a large share of the market. The reduced passenger traffic congestion at airports and decreased tourism overall resulted in a direct drop-in revenues of major rental companies. As tourism declined globally, rental car operators were compelled to sell large parts of their fleets. For instance, in 2020, the number of cars rented in 2020 in the U.S. amounted to 17.3 million, representing a significant drop compared to 44.5 million rented in 2019. In 2021, around 29.2 million vehicles were rented, which is still lower than pre-pandemic levels. Hence, more than 770,000 vehicles were sold by key rental operators in 2020. For instance, according to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, average dailycar rentalrates nearly doubled from USD 142 in June 2020 to USD 258 by July 2021. Hence, these factors will influence the market’s growth during the forecast period.

Demand-responsive transport services encompass luxury passenger vehicles and charter vehicles equipped with features, such as real-time feedback, vehicle tracking, and rating, to end consumers. Numerous mobile applications make it easier to find luxury cars and compare prices with the respective car rental companies.


For instance, in February 2021, Humax announced that it would supply the WTC mobility service platform the 'Auto Rent RAiDEA', allowing users to compare nearbytaxi, luxury car rental, and ride-hailing prices companies in a single app. In addition, in April 2021, GoAir collaborated with Eco Europcar to launch rental services in 100 Indian cities, including 25 airports.

Digitization in the Booking Process, Payment Process, and Management of Luxury Car Rental to Propel Market Growth


On a global scale, this market is expanding rapidly. By improving their efficiency and adopting new automated technologies, all market participants provide better services and discounts to increase bookings. Digitization, one of the automated technologies trending presently, is having a significant impact on every industry segment, including the car rental industry. Moreover, rental companies have evolved due to digitalization to increase profitability while improving customer experience. These rental companies use car rental management software to improve their services and automate their operations. Also, the car rental management software reduces management tasks and increases operational efficiency.


Furthermore, management software includes favorable payment management, fleet optimizations, and custom reports, which assist these companies in expanding their businesses. For instance, Hertz and Fox Rent-a-car, two car rental apps, are usually the main contenders for obtaining this information. As a result, the application of car rental management software represents a significant growth opportunity for the market players.


Rising Number of Air Travelers to Fuel the Market Growth


Rising number of air travelers due to decreasing fares, growing disposable income, and expanding leisure & tourism industry across emerging and developed economies are likely to fuel the demand for car rental services across airports. For instance, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast in October 2018, the number of air travelers globally could double to 8.2 billion by 2037.


Moreover, businesses are expanding globally, further influencing the growth of business travelers. Therefore, rising demography of corporate or business travelers is surging the car rental industry's demand for premium executive cars.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Deposit Amounts and Rental Costs Could Limit the Market Growth


The market involves obtaining a large deposit, ranging from USD 2,500 to USD 50,000, financial information and vetting, and installing GPS devices in the cars to follow them if something goes wrong during the rental. It also means checking to confirm whether the renter has personal insurance coverage, which will secure liability and the car's worth or at least a portion of it. For instance, fleet insurance on a USD 200,000 car can cost USD 400 to USD 1,300 per month, yet many policies have high premium and do not cover customer theft. In addition, limited shares to opt for these services also hinder the market growth in some regions. Therefore, these cost factors are expected to restrain the market growth rate during the forecast period.

The market is segmented into business and leisure based on rental type.


The business segment is anticipated to hold the largest share globally over the forecast period.

Power & Associates research. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the leisure segment during the forecast period.


By Booking Mode Analysis


Online Segment to Capture the Maximum Market Share Due to High Demand from Consumers Especially Millennial Consumers


Based on booking mode, the market is segmented into online and offline.


The online segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The online segment is gaining popularity amongst young consumers. The consumer gets a wide range of luxury cars to choose from the online booking option. In addition, this type of cars facilitate booking round the clock and year-round availability. It facilitates users to flexibly compare the prices and provides information on the availability of luxury cars, conditions, and offers associated without physical inquiry. The online app reservation system also enables business owners to easily manage all reservations. The reservations made online are recorded and addressed directly. Hence, advancements in technologies and increasing penetration of the internet among buyers will propel the growth of the online segment.


The offline segment is expected to project steady growth during the forecast period. While online bookings are gaining traction, some consumers still prefer offline booking of luxury cars. The dominance can be attributed to customers’ convenience to rent cars in person rather than surfing online. Unlike customers who book online, offline consumers can inspect and examine the exotic car and even enquire with the staff. Hence, the offline segment will progress steadily during the forecast period.
