Every figure on Local Rent comes from one source: a snapshot of public Localrent search results. This page explains how we take it and what we refuse to publish.
One snapshot, one method
For each city we run the same search: a one-week rental that starts about six weeks later. We read every car the search returns, up to several hundred per city. We then count the cars with each feature, such as no deposit or free cancellation.
A country figure combines its cities, weighted by the number of cars we read in each. The date of the snapshot is shown on every page.
What we publish
- Shares of listed cars, rounded to whole percent.
- The number of cars a search returns, as Localrent reports it.
- The most listed models and the median model year.
What we never publish
- Prices, deposit amounts or discounts.
- Claims of first-hand rental experience.
- Facts about a company that the listing does not show.
- Promises about the service that Localrent does not make.
Texts and tone
Our editorial team writes the destination pages and guides. Numbers in texts come straight from the data, so a page changes when the data changes. Local driving tips stick to stable facts, such as the side of the road and airport codes.
