Describe the possible differences in customer choice criteria between car rentals and outright purchases

What will be an ideal response?


Renters typically reserve a specific vehicle class or category rather than a specific brand or model. For example, rental car companies offer sub-compact, compact, mid-size, and luxury models. The brand of a subcompact may be a Kia or a Chevy. Physical characteristics like color, upholstery, and the number of cup holders are more important to buyers. Consumer consideration of rental locations, insurance coverage, cleanliness of the vehicle and facilities, and ease of the reservation system are also considerations for rental services that differ from car dealerships.
