Global Luxury Car Rental Market Outlook : Ken Research

Introduction:  The global car rental market research report has had immense competition from car sharing and peer to peer rental companies like Uber, Lyft and Turo which has made the competition scenario highly complex and increased customer expectations as well as supplier power. Aside from the competition there has been volatility in terms of regulations with different companies having to work under their own set of rules despite being indirect or in most cases, direct competitors with each other. Companies like Turo and HeyaCar do not undergo the extent of regulation and safety and equipment standards checks that companies like Enterprise and Avis undergo making it easier for platforms like Turo to gain customers.
