A growing number of consumers are opting for mobile payment methods, which has increased the need for brick-and-mortar retailers to offer support for them. Being that renting a car can sometimes be a stressful experience, the Avis Budget Group aims to streamline the payment experience in order to get customers on their way quicker than ever. The Visa Checkout payment option also offers users the ability to save money when they pay in advance in order to secure the best rate before they even get to the pickup kiosk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Payment Methods:** Opportunity for businesses to support mobile payment methods to meet the growing consumer demand. - **Streamlined Payment Experience:** Opportunity to enhance customer experience by offering streamlined payment options that save time and minimize stress. - **Advance Payment Discounts:** Opportunity to offer advance payment discounts to incentivize customers to pay in advance and secure the best rates. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Car Rental:** Car rental industry can implement mobile payment methods and streamline payment processes to improve customer satisfaction. - **Retail:** Retail industry can adapt to the growing consumer demand for mobile payment methods and improve the overall shopping experience. - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry can incorporate advance payment discounts to attract customers to book in advance and secure better rates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [User-Friendly Online Checkout Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-checkout-solution.md) - [Rental Car Airport Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visitor-toll-passvisitor-toll-pass.md) - [Secure Streamlined Checkouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aasaan-checkout.md) - [Modernized Digital Checkout Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-checkout.md) - [Comprehensive Checkout Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevipay.md) - [Global Payment-Based Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heytea-1.md) - [Streamlined Vehicle Rental Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-rental-app.md) - [In-Car Fuel Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-pay.md) - [Digital Commercial Payment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mastercard-3.md)
