In today's society, renting a car has become an important way for people to get around, and many car rental companies offer fewer and fewer vehicles with manual transmissions.

The popularity of automatic transmission cars is an important reason, with the development of science and technology, the performance of automatic transmission cars is more and more superior, and it is easier and more convenient to drive, in contrast, manual transmission cars require drivers to master more skills, such as shifting, stepping on the clutch, etc., which has higher requirements for drivers, in order to meet the needs of more consumers, car rental companies are more inclined to provide automatic transmission cars.

The maintenance cost of automatic transmission cars is relatively low, and because the structure of automatic transmission cars is relatively simple, the cost of automatic transmission cars is lower than that of manual transmission cars in terms of repair and maintenance, which means that car rental companies can reduce operating costs and increase profitability.

In addition, the safety of automatic transmission cars is higher, and studies have shown that during the driving of automatic transmission cars, drivers can focus more on road conditions and driving skills, rather than busy changing gears, so that drivers will react faster when responding to unexpected situations, thereby improving driving safety.

Although in the past, manual transmission cars have certain advantages in fuel economy, but with the continuous progress of automatic transmission vehicle technology, this gap has gradually narrowed, and now automatic transmission cars have even surpassed manual transmission cars in terms of fuel economy.

The main reason why car rental companies don't have manual transmission models is because automatic transmission cars have obvious advantages in terms of performance, maintenance costs, safety, and fuel economy, of course, this is not to say that manual transmission cars are useless, manual transmission cars still have a certain appeal for people who like to drive.
