A fast-growing car and luxury rental market through 2030
Car rental is not a fad. It is a structural trend related to flexible mobility, tourism and business.
Market analyses show that:
The global luxury car rental market is estimated at more than $50 billion in 2025 and may exceed $89 billion in 2032, with an average annual growth rate of around 7.8 percent.
Other research indicates that the same segment may reach around $70 billion as early as 2030, starting from just over $51 billion in 2025, with an annual growth rate of more than 6 percent.
The total global car rental market is estimated to be around $149.9 billion in 2024 and could reach about $278 billion in 2030, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10%.
In Europe, the car rental market is expected to expand, with revenues expected to be in the range of more than $60 billion by 2030 and annual growth close to 9-10% over the 2025-2030 period.
This means one clear thing: demand for car rental and luxury car rental will continue to grow in the coming years.
If we team up, the GC AUTO network can become a powerhouse in this sector, tapping into local demand in many European cities.
