BMW and Toyota are testing 100% renewable gasoline in a real-world pilot program, exploring how alternative fuels could help reduce emissions while using today's internal combustion engine vehicles.

The project aims to gather practical data on fuel performance without requiring vehicle modifications or new fueling infrastructure.

For rental operators, developments like this highlight how automotive technology continues to evolve.

Staying informed about emerging fuel and vehicle innovations can help operators make more strategic decisions as the industry adapts to changing customer needs and long-term fleet planning.

The ARRC Operations Manual is a complete reference guide covering everything a rental operator needs to run a properly structured business, including business planning, rental contracts, counter procedures, risk and insurance management, fleet management, rates and additional products, advertising and marketing, and internal forms.

It's not a generic business guide. It's written specifically for rental operators, and it covers the situations that actually come up.

Members also receive the Mile Marker, ARRC's quarterly newsletter, which delivers industry news, program updates, information on trade shows and upcoming events, and articles from ARRC members sharing what's working in their own businesses.

Both are included with membership! Learn more at arrc.net/newsletters-manuals.

Running a rental operation means sourcing a lot more than just insurance.

GPS tracking, roadside assistance, fleet financing, rental software, fleet supply, marketing support, ADA compliance products, motor vehicle reports, violation management — the list of vendors a rental operator needs to vet and manage on their own can get long fast.

ARRC has done that work for you! The preferred vendor network gives rental operators access to vetted, cost-efficient vendors across the key categories that matter most to running a well-equipped operation.

From fleet financing options through AFC, NextGear Capital, and United Leasing & Finance, to rental software through RentAll and TSD, to fleet supply through Eckhaus Fleet and 24/7 roadside assistance programs — it's all part of what membership includes.

It's one less thing to figure out on your own.

Rental counter upsells can generate additional revenue, but they may also create longer wait times, customer frustration, and missed opportunities for repeat business.

As customer expectations continue to evolve, the rental experience itself is becoming just as important as the transaction.

For rental operators, building trust through clear communication and a smooth rental process can create lasting value.

Consistent service and positive customer experiences help strengthen relationships long after the keys are handed over.

August is the tail end of peak summer travel, and for a lot of rental operators, it's the stretch where things can start to slip.

Processes that felt tight in June can get sloppy under sustained volume. Documentation shortcuts that seemed minor start to add up.

Team members who have been running hard all season may start to cut corners without realizing it. It's important to stay ahead of this pattern.

Finishing the season strong means maintaining the same standards in August that you set in May.

The operators who do that consistently are the ones who close out the year in the best position operationally and financially.

Rental fleet sales posted strong gains in June, helping the industry finish the first half of 2026 on a positive note.

Rental vehicle sales increased more than 11% compared to June 2025, reflecting continued investment in fleet growth as operators respond to ongoing travel demand.

For rental operators, fleet purchasing trends offer valuable insight into where the industry is headed.

Monitoring these shifts can help support smarter decisions around vehicle acquisition, fleet planning, and long-term business growth.

Thank you so much to Joshua W. for this review!

Rental operators deal with a lot — compliance questions, claims, day-to-day operational challenges — and having a team that actually knows the industry and genuinely cares about your business makes a real difference.

That's what we show up to do every day.

If you're navigating your rental operation without that kind of support in your corner, we'd love to show you what it looks like.

If you've spent the summer watching rental demand and thinking about whether it makes sense to add vehicles or launch a rental operation alongside your existing business, you're not alone.

Dealerships, repair shops, body shops, and storage facilities are all well-positioned to add rentals as a revenue stream — and the summer season tends to be the moment when that idea starts to feel less like a question and more like an opportunity. The key is getting the structure right from the start. That means proper commercial coverage, the right rental agreements, and a clear process for managing vehicles and customers.

ARRC helps businesses like yours add rentals the right way, with the support and resources to make it work from day one. Learn more at arrc.net.
