Car Rental Price Index
A data-driven tool for checking typical rental-car prices across 395 airports and judging whether a quoted rate looks fair.
Field notes
The index builds benchmarks from repeated observations of the same rental dates rather than from a single market-wide average. Its displayed figures are medians tied to specific conditions, including vehicle class, airport, hire duration, booking timing, and renter context. The page reports coverage of 395 airports and 243 rental companies, with monthly collection since November 2023. It also states that the figures are guides rather than binding rental quotes and discloses commission from a booking partner.
