Auto Rental News will wrap up results soon for its bi-annual Business Outlook Survey that gathers the latest data and insights into the U.S. franchised and independent auto rental market.
The survey closes out at the end of the business day Pacific Time on Wednesday, Oct. 22.
The findings will be published in the annual ARN Fact Book that will be distributed in January 2026.
ARN’s survey serves as a benchmark for rental car operators and provides key metrics to business sectors that overlap with car rental. It also represents the state of the industry to a wider media audience.
Survey results will provide detailed insights into industry revenue, profitability, fleet usage, and technology. It is open to all U.S.-based rental car companies as well as the U.S. segment of operations of foreign-based companies.
This survey is completely anonymous and confidential. It does not ask for company or personal names. It only collects aggregate results and does not share individual survey responses with any other source.

June gains ensured rental fleets closed out the first half of 2026 in positive territory.
