Electric car rental is a business wherein a company offers electric cars for rent for a limited period. The market is highly governed by factors such as the penetration of charging infrastructure and government policies. Car rental services operate on the model of renting automobiles for short periods of time, generally ranging from a few hours to a few weeks.

Car rental agencies serve people who require a temporary vehicle; for example, those who do not own a car or tourists.
