Which Key Trends Are Driving Changes In The Leasing Market?

The utilization of internet of things (IoT) technology has become a widespread practice amongst car hire and leasing businesses for fleet maintenance and management. This refers to a network of inter-connected devices or objects that can gather and share data through built-in sensors. As projected by the World Economic Forum, a non-profit entity based in Switzerland, in January 2023, the number of connected IoT devices is expected to hit 30 billion by 2025. Car rental firms are using this technology to verify fuel quantities at the return point of vehicles, making manual checks by staff unnecessary. Furthermore, the use of electronic key systems for locking and unlocking cars eliminates the need for managing numerous physical keys. In fact, car rental company, Hertz, has been rolling out IoT technology to offer keyless car hire services and better manage its fleet in a bid to decrease expenses.
