ARRC actually understands the rental business and was built specifically to support it.

We are a membership organization built around the specific needs of rental operators, with tools, resources, and support. Here's what that actually looks like in practice.

Rental software isn't just for businesses managing hundreds of vehicles. For a smaller operation, the right software can reduce the time spent on manual tracking, keep reservation and vehicle records organized, and create a more professional experience for customers — without requiring a large team to manage it.

ARRC members get access to rental software programs at discounted rates through the membership. Whether you're running a handful of vehicles or a growing fleet, it's worth taking a look at what the right tools could do for your operation.

Business travel car rental rates in the U.S. and Canada are forecast to rise between 1.5% and 2% in 2026-27. While improved vehicle availability may help limit larger increases, insurance, repair costs, and softer residual values continue to put pressure on rental operations.

For rental operators, these trends reinforce the importance of watching both pricing and operating costs. Understanding what’s driving rate changes can help operators make more informed decisions and protect profitability as market conditions evolve. https://bit.ly/4gzhu2q

After more than 30 years of supporting rental operators across the country, a few patterns become pretty clear when it comes to the businesses that run well over the long term.

They don't wing it on documentation. They keep their coverage current and appropriate for the work they're doing. Their teams know the procedures and follow them consistently. They treat vendor relationships as a business asset. And they stay informed about what's happening in the industry so they can make smarter decisions over time.

None of that is complicated. But it does require the right resources, the right support, and a commitment to doing things properly. That's what ARRC membership is built around.

Fall is one of the more underrated seasons for rental demand, and independent operators are often in a better position to take advantage of it than they realize.

Road trips, foliage travel, regional events, and shoulder-season getaways all drive rental activity in the fall months. And unlike the big brands, independent operators know their markets. You know which routes are popular, which local events draw visitors, and how to serve customers who are looking for something more personal than a transaction at a kiosk.

That local knowledge and flexibility is a genuine competitive advantage. The operators who lean into it with the right vehicles, clear processes, and a professional experience tend to see strong fall performance.

ARRC helps rental operators build the kind of operation that can deliver on that consistently. Learn more at arrc.net.

BMW and Toyota are testing 100% renewable gasoline in a real-world pilot program, exploring how alternative fuels could help reduce emissions while using today's internal combustion engine vehicles.

The project aims to gather practical data on fuel performance without requiring vehicle modifications or new fueling infrastructure.

For rental operators, developments like this highlight how automotive technology continues to evolve.

Staying informed about emerging fuel and vehicle innovations can help operators make more strategic decisions as the industry adapts to changing customer needs and long-term fleet planning.

The ARRC Operations Manual is a complete reference guide covering everything a rental operator needs to run a properly structured business, including business planning, rental contracts, counter procedures, risk and insurance management, fleet management, rates and additional products, advertising and marketing, and internal forms.

It's not a generic business guide. It's written specifically for rental operators, and it covers the situations that actually come up.

Members also receive the Mile Marker, ARRC's quarterly newsletter, which delivers industry news, program updates, information on trade shows and upcoming events, and articles from ARRC members sharing what's working in their own businesses.

Both are included with membership! Learn more at arrc.net/newsletters-manuals.

Running a rental operation means sourcing a lot more than just insurance.

GPS tracking, roadside assistance, fleet financing, rental software, fleet supply, marketing support, ADA compliance products, motor vehicle reports, violation management — the list of vendors a rental operator needs to vet and manage on their own can get long fast.

ARRC has done that work for you! The preferred vendor network gives rental operators access to vetted, cost-efficient vendors across the key categories that matter most to running a well-equipped operation.

From fleet financing options through AFC, NextGear Capital, and United Leasing & Finance, to rental software through RentAll and TSD, to fleet supply through Eckhaus Fleet and 24/7 roadside assistance programs — it's all part of what membership includes.

It's one less thing to figure out on your own.

Rental counter upsells can generate additional revenue, but they may also create longer wait times, customer frustration, and missed opportunities for repeat business.

As customer expectations continue to evolve, the rental experience itself is becoming just as important as the transaction.

For rental operators, building trust through clear communication and a smooth rental process can create lasting value.

Consistent service and positive customer experiences help strengthen relationships long after the keys are handed over.
