Rent-a-car

Rent-a-car (or car rental) is the shortest possible operational leasing aimed exclusively at automobiles – cars and trucks. The rental term is usually between a few hours and a few weeks.

Rent-a-car is also the first leasing transaction applied in the auto industry by Sixt (in Germany) in  1912 and Hertz (in the USA) in 1918. The name of the service has been preserved from its origination.
