What does the future hold for car rental? Find out at the 2021 International Car Rental Show in Las Vegas Aug. 15-17, a hybrid in-person and virtual event.
Throughout the five days, seminars and discussions focused on a variety of issues, from the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, to the battle over independent contractors and customer engagement.
This day’s seminars offered advice on how to deal with lenders in a crisis, which COVID-19 claims to look out for, new business to source arising after the pandemic, and how to prepare for the increasing number of weather events in the U.S.

This seminar’s panelists bring decades of experience in fleet buying, remarketing, and operations to help navigate today’s unprecedented fleet challenges.
