How Increasing Road Transportation Fuels Passenger Car Rental Demand

Road transportation involves the movement of goods and people via vehicles operating on roadways.

For example, in 2024, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development reported that road freight transport in the United States grew by 6.6% in 2023 compared to the previous year. This rise in road transport activity directly supports the increasing demand for rental vehicles.
