Here are the 5 most rented cars in 2021

car rental is a fast growing service. In recent years, the demand for rental cars has increased dramatically. Surely a factor of strong impact was that relating to the pandemic which has prompted more and more people to avoid public transport and to prefer a individual means of travel with a rental car.

But what are the favorite cars of Italians? According to our statistics and based on our car fleet, the most requested cars were mainly 5. Italians seem to prefer medium / small and comfortable cars, ideal for getting around the city.

Among the 5 most rented cars in 2021 , we find the very practical Fiat New Panda , belonging to the city cars category, in first place. We subsequently registered strong demand for the Renault New Clio , Citroen C1 , the Fiat 500X and the Smart Forfour .

These cars were therefore the most requested during 2021. Obviously, preferences on the car to rent are always highly variable based on many factors. Let's find out more!

Car rental for companies and individuals

Car rental is a very healthy sector. Currently this service is used by many travelers, both private and corporate. There has also been a strong demand for van rental .

What surprised us most was that a good chunk of renters specifically requested the availability of a petrol car . The remainder opted for diesel or LPG cars while, in the last place, electric cars remain stationary.

As regards the category of electric cars , in Italy it is a segment of cars that is still trying to make its way into the market. Many rental companies are investing in electric cars but at the moment the request seems to be still being processed.

The electric car sector

Electric cars are part of a category that still creates skepticism among renters. Currently, our country does not yet seem to be well optimized to accommodate this type of motility. Electric cars are certainly the future, they are a green choice and reduce emissions and environmental pollution but currently, it is a sector still under development that has not reached its full functionality.

Yes to automatic gearbox, but only for short distances

Do Italians prefer the automatic gearbox or the manual one? Regarding this, the answer is: it depends. According to the data collected, travelers have well understood the convenience of automatic transmission in the city . For longer journeys, on the other hand, Italians still prefer the traditional manual gearbox for prolonged and continuous use on long-distance journeys.
