Does anyone know what happens to a rental car after it is a few years old?

It will usually be sold at auction or in a fleet vehicle sale at a greatly reduced rate. Depends on the condition of the rental vehicle though.Does anyone know what happens to a rental car after it is a few years old?
Usually sold at a used car lot, often in good condition because of the frequent maintenance or if condition is not so great and the mileage is high it goes to an auto auction.Does anyone know what happens to a rental car after it is a few years old?
Sometimes sold on a lot as a Demo. I often wondered about how those cars were treated by all the different drivers though. I mean, whenever I rented a car, I ran it pretty hard.
they usually sell them to the public or to wholesalers
The rental companies typically sell any car that is 2 years old.





Sometimes yo can get a really good deal buying one... some have very low mileage and they have all been maintained regularly if they were owned by a national brand rental company
Usually sold at auction or at a used car sale for a good price
We sell ours after a year in Australia as none of our fleet is over 12 months old here...
We sell ours on both the used car lot and taken to auction. Some companies only keep thier rentals 4 months, others keep them as long as 2 years. A carfax history report will tell you if your vehicle (or the one you are interested in buying) was a rental.
