Summary

The South Korea car rental market size reached USD 1,594.1 Million in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 1,773.1 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.07% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing demand for flexible rental terms and eco-friendly vehicle options. Technological advancements and government support for electric vehicles are further propelling this trend, contributing to the rising South Korea car rental market share across various consumer segments.

South Korea Car Rental Market Trends:
Growing Preference for Flexible Rental Terms
The South Korean automobile rental market is undergoing a drastic shift towards flexibility in rental conditions, following changing consumer behavior and expectations. Consumers are prioritizing convenience, which has been driving demand for services that offer flexibility in rental period, vehicle, and pick-up or drop-off location. This rising demand for flexibility has been particularly common among home and abroad visitors who desire freedom from the obligation of full-car ownership. As a result, short-term rental, hourly reservation, and one-way rental are gaining momentum. In addition, applying technology to become part of the rental process has been a dominant reason for this shift. Internet-based websites and mobile apps facilitate customers in booking cars, managing bookings, and even choosing some add-ons like car types or rental offers. This technology-driven process makes the customer experience smoother and more tailored. With consumers demanding even greater convenience and customized options, South Korean car rental firms are expanding their service list by adding more flexible rental programs, thus contributing to the South Korea car rental market growth.
Increased Adoption of Electric Vehicles
South Korea's automobile rental industry has experienced a significant increase in the use of electric vehicles (EVs) to meet increasing environmental awareness and government incentives. Moreover, customers are looking for environmentally friendly options compared to conventional gasoline-run cars, and car rental firms are responding by adding more electric and hybrid models to their fleets. This trend is most dominant among eco-friendly consumers, most notably younger generations of people who place great importance on sustainability in traveling. The presence of EVs in the rental industry is also being strengthened by efforts from the South Korean government to encourage green transportation through the offering of subsidies and tax credits for the purchase of electric vehicles. Another reason for the rising demand for electric vehicles in the rental market is the growth in EV charging infrastructure. With more charging points spread out in key urban centres, the ease of renting electric vehicles for short periods increases, further pushing the demand. This trend towards eco-friendly cars follows international directions within the automobile sector and will continue to expand in South Korea, as car rental companies target servicing the demand for green modes of transport. This movement is a key development in creating an environmentally friendly car rental business in South Korea.
