Saudi Arabia car rental market has been broadly segmented on the basis of car leasing, short term car rental and Chauffeur driven car segment. Despite the growing demand on car rentals, it still remains highly vulnerable to risks where more than 20% individual customers do not abide by rental conditions, whether in terms of handing over cars at the deadline and payment or parking of cars at different locations. Thereby, the regulations have increased and this calls the corporate to demand cars from organized car rental companies.
