A car rental, rent-a-car or car hire agency is a company that rents
automobiles for short periods of time (ranging from a few hours to a few weeks) for a
fee. It is an elaborate form of a
rental shop, organized in numerous local branches, primarily located near
airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online
reservations. There are also third party websites (such as online
travel agencies) which compare quotes from the major car rental agencies.
