A 'car rental', 'rent-a-car' or 'car hire' agency is a company that rents
automobiles for short periods of time (ranging from a few hours to a few weeks) for a
fee. It is an elaborate form of a
rental shop, organized in numerous local
branches, primarily located near
airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online
reservations. There are also third party websites (such as online
travel agencies) which compare quotes from the major car rental agencies.
Car rental agencies primarily serve people who have a car that is temporarily out of reach or out of service, for example
travellers who are out of town or owners of damaged or destroyed vehicles who are awaiting repair or
insurance compensation. Because of the variety of sizes of their vehicles, car rental agencies may also serve the self-
moving industry needs, by renting
vans or
trucks.
