Until recently, the Indian car rental market was thought to have strong potential for growth amid expanding urbanization and tourism. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are untapped potential markets that are being opened up with the local operators' entry with cheap options for compact cars, thus addressing the pricing requirements of tourists. Demand brought about by tourism is growing very fast, thus providing demand for hire such as chauffeur-driven cars for heritage circuits and multi-day packages for pilgrimages. Inter-city options are now turning into reality due to infrastructure development, thus the improvement of highways and launching one smart city project after another.
