car rental
A facility renting personal automobiles, including cars and SUVs, while excluding car-sharing pickup sites.
A car rental facility is a place where automobiles can be rented, including cars of any size, SUVs, station wagons, and similar vehicles for personal use.
This does not include car sharing sites, where members of a vehicle sharing club or organization pick up cars at will for short-term use.
The rental can include cars of different sizes and similar personal vehicles. The separate car-sharing exclusion concerns member pickup from a sharing organization, not the size of the car.
