Around the world there are a number of factors that determine the state of the car rental market and its prospects. Among them:
- Population and tourists
- The level of income and solvency of consumers
- The quality of transport infrastructure and the level of development of public transport
- Market competition
To understand the prospects of the car rental market in Lviv, you need to evaluate it by these parameters.
Population
In the city and the region, a slight decrease in the population is observed from year to year. In fact, the indicator can be considered stable, especially given the large number of unregistered residents. Lviv is the main business center of Western Ukraine and one of the main centers of urbanization in Ukraine. Under such conditions, population and growth dynamics are usually underestimated. At one time, Kiev, the Dnieper, Kharkov and Odessa faced this situation.
A stable or growing population is an important condition for the development of the services market, including car rental in Lviv.
Flow of tourists
This indicator is especially important for the car rental market, because tourists who visit the city not on their own vehicle often use the daily car rental service. The annual attendance of the city is growing steadily. This trend is clearly demonstrated by the dynamics of indicators of hotel use:

It is noteworthy that the main increase, as well as the main share, falls on domestic tourists who are familiar with the peculiarities of Ukrainian traffic and are happy to rent a car in Lviv. All clients of rental companies can be divided into two large groups:
- Focused on the cheapest options looking for Lanos rental in Lviv on OLX
- Wealthy customers looking for quality and comfortable cars like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid we offer
The number of foreign tourists is also increasing, due to which the middle and higher price segments of car rental in Lviv are also growing steadily.
Income level
According to statistics, the level of income in the city in recent years continues to grow steadily:

A similar situation is observed in many other regions of the country, whose residents visit Lviv and leave their money in hotels, shops, cafes and car rental offices. The increase in purchasing power allows you to rent a car for those who recently could not. Those who were looking for the cheapest options yesterday (for example, the same Lanos for hire) are now more likely to pay attention to high-class cars and from well-known manufacturers, to hybrid cars and electric cars.
The quality of public transport
Public transport is not the most comfortable way to get around. But it continues to evolve. Often, public transport is more profitable and even faster than your own car. In certain cases, when a bus or tram does not help in solving some problems, you can use the daily rental car. In Lviv, car rental is developed enough to cover such needs.
Car rental market in Lviv is growing
Growing and segmenting. So some operators focus on car rental for a wedding, others offer exclusively cheap Lanos and Aveo, while others occupy a niche for car rental in Lviv airport.
