Update on the URBAN TOURS BY RENTAL CAR Website

Our first Rental Car Tour --- on Sao Paulo --- was posted in September 2003 to the demographia.com website. A few months later, the rentalcartours.net website was established. In the intervening years, nearly 100 rental car tours have been posted.

The Rental Car Tours have attracted nearly 650,000 downloads since the beginning. The most popular have been (through 31 October):

49,800 – Mexico City
41,200 – Hong Kong
39,800 – Rio de Janiero
33,800 – Sao Paulo
25,200 – Miami
19,600 – Tokyo
18,600 - Paris
18,300 – London
17,100 – Toronto
16,800 – Montreal
15,900 – Curitiba
14,500 – Buenos Aires
14,100 – Cairo
13,700 – St. Louis
13,400 – South Bronx (New York)
12,900 – Mumbai
12,300 – Shenzhen
11,700 – Shanghai
10,700 – Seoul
10,700 – Rhine-Ruhr-Wupper (Essen-Dusseldorf)
10,300 – Guiangzhou

Since individual Rental Car Tours have been posted anywhere from more than four years ago to this last weekend, a better measure is the monthy volume. The most popular Rental Car Tours in monthly volume are:

1,173 – Mumbai
1,159 – Hong Kong
1,066 – Mexico City
829 - Cairo
794 – Rio de Janeiro
690 – Sao Paulo
650 – Chengdu
614 – Los Angeles
588 – Manila
535 – Shenzhen
525 – Miami
500 – Trans Andes Highway

The Trans Andes Highway Rental Car Tour, posted in October, has proven very popular. The partial November data already shows 1,000 downloads.

Statistics are available for all Rental Car Tours.

A new geographical index has been added to the site.

Thank you to all who have downloaded these articles.
