Market Overview and Market Insights: Car rental and leasing services provide vehicles to customers for a temporary period, ranging from a few hours to several months. In car rental, individuals pay a fee to use a vehicle for short-term purposes, such as vacations, business trips, or while their personal vehicle is being repaired. These services are typically offered by agencies managing diverse fleets to cater to various customer needs. On the other hand, car leasing involves long-term agreements, usually lasting several years. Customers make monthly payments covering the vehicle's depreciation and interest, and leasing contracts often include additional services like maintenance and insurance, depending on the terms.

Drivers: Several factors drive this growth, including the Kingdom's thriving tourism industry, largely fuelled by religious tourism to destinations like Mecca and Medina, and the rising volume of business travel. Urbanization and economic diversification efforts have created a growing need for flexible transportation options among residents and businesses. Government reforms aimed at boosting tourism, such as relaxed visa regulations for international visitors, have further increased demand for rental vehicles.

Challenges: Despite its growth potential, the market faces several challenges. Economic dependency on oil makes consumer spending and business investments vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. Regulatory hurdles, such as complex licensing and insurance requirements, can also affect the operational efficiency of rental companies. Urban infrastructure issues, including traffic congestion in cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, increase operational costs and impact service delivery. Furthermore, cultural preferences for vehicle ownership pose challenges to promoting rental and leasing as viable alternatives.
COVID-19 Impact: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the car rental and leasing industry in Saudi Arabia. Travel restrictions and lockdowns limited mobility, leading to decreased demand for these services. The reduced number of tourists and business travelers further impacted the need for rental vehicles, as recreational and corporate visits to the Kingdom declined during this period.
Riyadh holds the largest market share in the KSA car rental and leasing market, attributed to its strategic importance as a hub for businesses, government institutions, and foreign investments. Key players in the market include Budget Rent a Car, Hanco Automotive, Hertz Corporation, Lumi Car Rentals, and Theeb Rent-A-Car.
