Overview:

Fox Rent A Car is a value-focused U.S. airport car rental brand within Europcar Mobility Group. It combines direct airport operations with an affiliate network, rewards, prepaid rates and app-based rental management. Three partners founded Fox near Los Angeles International Airport in 1989.

Products and Services:

Fox rents economy, compact, SUV, passenger and other vehicle groups. Customers can book pay-now or pay-later rates, manage reservations, add optional products and follow location-specific pickup instructions. Fox Rewards earns points on eligible direct rentals at corporate locations. The FOXpress app supports booking and reservation management; selected LAX features let eligible renters bypass the pickup line and exit booth. Fox also offers corporate B2B rates and affiliate opportunities.

Geography and Markets:

Corporate locations are concentrated at U.S. airports, including Los Angeles, Orlando, Las Vegas and Miami. Fox also works with independent affiliates in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. An affiliate is not a Fox-owned station, so rental terms can differ.

Ownership and Corporate Structure:

Fox Rent-A-Car, Inc. is the U.S. operating business. Europcar Mobility Group acquired a 100% stake in 2019, giving the European group a direct U.S. rental brand. Europcar operates under Green Mobility Holding S.A., with majority control transitioning toward full consolidation under Volkswagen Group.
