vehicle rental

Temporary transport lease

Vehicle rental is the short-term hiring of cars, trucks, or other vehicles, typically from a commercial agency.

Travelers rent vehicles at airports, tourists rent scooters at beach towns, and homeowners rent moving trucks for a day.

The industry uses rental and hire interchangeably, though Americans favor rental and Britons favor hire.
