Chains and independents

Of the 570 car hire companies we hold, 291 (51%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Avis (63), Hertz (44), Europcar (38), Sixt (29) and Avis Car Rental (20). The other 49% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
