# Car Rental Expanses Uber Rent Launches in Canada for Convenient Car Rental Experience By Grace Mahas | Published 2023-05-09 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-rent References: [uber](http://www.uber.ca/?sgsgg)  As more consumers opt to particpate in the sharing economy. [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo) is introducing Uber Rent across Canada just in time for warm weather and sunny days. This new feature allows Canadians to rent a car from companies like Avis, [Hertz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-electric), or [Budget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/budget-seer) with just a tap of a button in the Uber app. Uber Rent offers a seamless way to rent a car for out-of-town trips, errands, or weekend getaways. Users can book quickly and easily using their Uber account and payment methods. Providing more transportation options in the Uber app helps Canadians get anywhere, reduces overall congestion, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions as an alternative to personal car ownership. With Uber Rent, Canadians can enjoy a hassle-free car rental experience directly from their Uber app. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 16% - 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) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sharing Economy Growth:** The growth of the sharing economy presents opportunities for new entrants to disrupt the traditional car rental industry. - **Seamless Rental Booking:** Providing a seamless booking experience for car rentals through an app opens opportunities for businesses to incorporate user data for future recommendations or upselling. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Environmental sustainability concerns will continue to drive innovation in the car rental space, such as offering electric or hybrid vehicle rentals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Car Rental:** Traditional car rental companies need to adopt digital platforms as new entrants with seamless booking experiences via apps threaten their market share. - **Ride-sharing:** Ride-sharing companies could branch out into car rentals to provide more transportation options for customers and increase their revenue streams. - **Automotive:** Automotive companies could partner with ride-sharing and car rental companies to provide electric or hybrid vehicle rentals as environmental sustainability concerns grow. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ride-Hailing App Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo.md) - [Electric Ride Share Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-electric.md) - [Electric Ride-Share Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-hertz.md) - [Flexible Monthly Car Shares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turo-monthly.md) - [Car Rental Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turo-and-hopper.md) - [Luxury Car Rental Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-car-rental-montreal.md) - [Winter Sport Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-ski.md) - [Oversized Ride-Share Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-6.md) - [On-Demand Skiwear Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skiwear-rentals.md)
