Expanding Fleet of Electric Vehicles & Growing Tourism to Boost Rent a Car Market

Saudi Arabia Rent a Car market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 9.8% during the forecast period of 2023-28, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The market depicts considerable growth in historical years owing to the local & airport ride-hailing services. It is a well-established industry with numerous service providers, including Theeb, Udrive, Europcar, and several others, that consistently offer competitively priced car rentals to customers. Additionally, enhanced security provided by online rental platforms, such as vehicle tracking & easy booking drive, supports revenue growth for the domestic market. Rising settlements, growing well-established infrastructure construction activities at major tourist attractions, and more job opportunities within the country due to inflated foreign direct investment in sectors other than oil have further supplemented the foreign population in the country. This would boost the demand for car rentals in Saudi Arabia.

Moreover, rising tourism activity in the country & growing spending on leisure, business, and related activities have upsurged the demand for self-driving & chauffeured car rental services. Moreover, soaring local & expatriate populations in the country are expected to enhance the need for car rental in the market. Furthermore, to support the country's decarbonization efforts, the Saudi government is taking several steps to build a robust automotive industry in the country, as the electric vehicle (EV) market grows. As part of its National Transport and Logistics Services Strategy, Saudi Arabia aims to augment the proportion of zero-carbon transport vehicles on the country's roads to almost 45% of the total number of conventional vehicles.

Therefore, along with the boom in government electric vehicle initiatives, car rental companies are also entering into agreements & contracts to expand the fleet size of electric vehicles, which would drive the market growth in the forecast years, further states the research report, “Saudi Arabia Rent a Car Market Analysis, 2023.”
