Car rental has never been “one size fits all,” and no two markets are exactly alike. With the rapid growth
of car rental around the world, this is never more apparent than today.
At the 2019 International Car Rental Show’s Tuesday morning breakfast keynote, a panel of experts will discuss the unique challenges, opportunities, innovations, and business models for car rental in various markets across the world.
The panel comprises Leo Cai of eHi Car Services, Paulo Gaba of Europcar Brazil, Richard Lowden of Green Motion, and Alienor Izri of Margin Fuel. These speakers conduct business in diverse markets such as China, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, India, and others.
“We’re too often siloed in our individual businesses to understand what’s happening on the world’s
stage, and this keynote panel seminar will address that,” said Chris Brown, chair of the International Car
Rental Show. “Attendees will walk away with a more complete picture of the trends shaping car rental
across the globe that will shape the future of the industry.”
The 2019 International Car Rental Show convenes April 14-16 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.
