rental car
Hired vacation vehicle
A rental car is a vehicle available for temporary use, typically from a commercial agency, for a daily or weekly fee.
Travelers rely on rental cars when flying to destinations or when their own vehicle is unavailable: We picked up a rental car at the airport.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: the rental car counter, rental car insurance.
