What Rex Rent does
RexRent (legal entity AO «Bilantliya») is a federal car rental operator in Russia, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Moscow at ul. Kievskaya, d. 8. The company originated as the Russian licensee of the international brands Avis and Budget from 2006 to 2022; following the withdrawal of those brands from the Russian market, it continued operations under its own RexRent brand. RexRent operates a fleet of 2,000+ vehicles up to four years old, with full-service rental stations in 15+ Russian cities and reach across 80+ cities, including counter presence at all three Moscow airports (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo), St. Petersburg Pulkovo, Sochi, Novosibirsk Tolmachevo, Ufa, Krasnodar, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, and Kaliningrad.
The product portfolio is organized into three core rental models — short-term (daily from 1 day with mileage limits), long-term (extended daily rates), and subscription (1–12 months all-inclusive) — alongside operational leasing (24–60 months fixed monthly payment for businesses), AutoShuttle intercity one-way rentals, and a professional driver service. A modular layer of 20+ fee-based add-ons covers insurance (full coverage, windshield), equipment (child seats, ski racks, winter tires), convenience services (additional driver, after-hours pickup, replacement vehicle), and cross-border travel into Abkhazia, Belarus, and Mongolia. Technology is not publicly disclosed; the platform supports online booking via rexrent.ru, a personal account portal (lk.rexrent.ru), payment through Russian bank cards and the SBP instant payment system, messaging channels (Telegram, VK, MAX), and Yandex Maps integration for locations. No public or partner-facing API is documented.
RexRent serves individual consumers and corporate/business clients (with a secondary government/institutional segment) through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer online booking and airport/city rental stations with dedicated corporate account managers handling operational leasing and fleet contracts. The company is part of the FLIT Leasing Group within the Insight Leasing corporate structure, which provides fleet financing and integrated leasing services. Pricing is in Russian Rubles across daily, monthly, and multi-year cadences, with online-payment discounts of up to 5%, progressive discounts for longer rentals (15% for 3–5 days, 25% for 6–10 days), and no deposit required. Marketing leverages the website (multilingual: Russian, English, Arabic, Chinese), VK, Telegram, MAX messenger, email campaigns, and participation in industry events including the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Rex Rent competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- CityDrive: Russian car-sharing operator with a fleet of several thousand vehicles across multiple cities. Competes with RexRent for short-trip urban mobility demand and was consolidated under the Citymobil/Delimobil group, providing a competing platform-native mobility alternative.
- Yandex Drive: Russian car-sharing platform by Yandex. While its core product is free-floating car sharing (per-minute) rather than daily rental, it competes with RexRent's short-term urban rental demand, particularly in Moscow and St. Petersburg where both have meaningful presence.
- Cluno: European car subscription platform (now part of Cazoo). Cluno is a comparable reference for RexRent's car subscription product (1-12 months), as both target consumers seeking flexible alternatives to ownership with all-inclusive monthly pricing.
Broad incumbents
- Hertz: Global car rental major with comparable product structure (short-term, long-term, corporate, airport counters). RexRent's background operating Avis/Budget makes Hertz a natural structural peer in fleet management, corporate contracts, and airport-counter economics.
- Avis Budget Group: Former parent brand/franchisor of RexRent's operations from 2006-2022. While Avis no longer operates in Russia, Avis Budget Group remains a structural peer as a global multi-brand rental platform with comparable corporate, subscription, and operational leasing offerings.
- Europcar: European car rental major (now part of ALD Automotive). Comparable to RexRent in multi-tier fleet, corporate leasing, subscription, and airport-counter — a structural peer for international service standards and corporate mobility offerings.
- Sixt: Global car rental and mobility services major. Sixt is a comparable reference point for RexRent's former Avis/Budget operations and represents the kind of international competitor that could re-enter the Russian market should conditions change. Both offer multi-tier fleet, subscription, and corporate mobility services.
Direct peers
- RentRide: Russian online car rental platform offering short-term rentals across multiple cities. Direct competitor to RexRent in the Russian market with similar airport and urban pickup station models and consumer customer base.
- Localrent: Russian car rental aggregator and broker operating across multiple cities, often compared to RexRent as a competing booking platform for short-term rentals. Both operate in the same Russian market with overlapping pickup cities and serve similar consumer and SMB segments.
Regional players
- Getmancar: UAE-based car rental and subscription platform. While operating in a different geography, its subscription model and modern fleet positioning make it a comparable peer for RexRent's subscription and short-term rental product offering.
