Experts see two reasons for this: increasing car and taxi prices. Renting is becoming more profitable: according to Autostat, the average price of a new car in 2023 has increased by 24%, while taxi prices have increased by 35% per kilometer.
At the same time, carpooling is 35% cheaper than a taxi, according to Fresh founder Denis Migal. The leaders in the economy class are Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio, Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Octavia and Renault Logan.
In the business class, the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, Lamborghini Urus, BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz GT63 AMG and BMW X6M/X5M Competition are popular.
According to TopCar forecasts, the car rental market will exceed 70 billion rubles in 2024 and annual growth will be between 6-10 percent.
