Saudi Arabia Vehicle Rental Market Synopsis

The Saudi Arabia vehicle rental market witnessed decent growth during the period 2017-2019 underpinned by rapid growth in tourism and rising urbanization in the country. However, the Covid-19 pandemic affected the revenues and fleet size of the vehicle rental market significantly due to the moratorium on tourism activities, downscaling of commercial activities, as well as public apprehension about the hygienic treatment of rental vehicles.

According to 6Wresearch, the Saudi Arabia Vehicle Rental Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2021-2027F. The primary reason for the growth in the Saudi Arabia vehicle rental industry is the rapidly growing investment in the tourism sector, robust development of the logistics sector, as well as the rising preference of corporate players towards leasing cars. Furthermore, the government’s initiatives for the diversification of the economy away from oil, led by Saudi Vision 2030, would lead to the establishment of several new commercial entities in the country, thereby propelling the demand for transportation services over the coming years. This, in turn, would also augment the revenues of the vehicle rental market in Saudi Arabia.

Market by Types Analysis

In terms of types, passenger vehicles contributed a 67.7% revenue share in the Saudi Arabia vehicle rental market in 2020 owing to the preference of expats and tourists to rent or lease cars as a means to commute. Moreover, in the coming years rapidly growing tourism sector due to government initiatives to develop recreational and luxury tourism, through projects such as Red Sea Development, as well as the introduction of e-visas for tourists from 49 countries beyond the auspices of religious and medical tourism and easing of tourist restrictions such as strict dress code for women would further bolster the demand for rental vehicles in the country.

Market by Distribution Channels Analysis

In 2020, offline distribution channels acquired a 70.0% revenue share in Saudi Arabia vehicle rental market owing to inadequate know-how among people and a high preference for offline modes of booking in logistics and commercial sectors. However, the online booking type is expected to witness higher growth over the coming years, owing to additional services, a wider range of options and promotional offers provided by the companies through online mode. Additionally, COVID-19 also shifted consumer preference to online bookings which minimises social contact and the post-pandemic habit of booking through online sources is likely to sustain over the medium to long term.
