What is included in the product
Written 5 Forces Analysis in Word
The Word template includes a comprehensive, professionally structured Porter's Five Forces analysis for car rental, with pre-written competitive narratives, driver lists, recommended strategic actions, and space for custom notes-ready for business analysis, planning, or presentation.
Customizable Excel Spreadsheet
The Excel template includes high-level overviews, editable force scorecards, color-coded pressure ratings, and customizable charts for quick strategic assessments and investor-ready summaries.
Instant Access & Easy Customization
Download instantly and edit every section to match your city, channel, or fleet mix; change wording, scores, and examples in seconds. The structure is modular so you swap airport examples for local stations or add corporate-account notes without redoing the whole analysis. One file, endless edits.
Covers All Five Competitive Forces
The template covers all five forces: industry rivalry, threat of substitutes, buyer bargaining power, supplier bargaining power, and threat of new entrants, each with sector-specific drivers and scorecards. It links force scores to strategic implications like fleet refresh cadence, ancillary pricing, and channel partnerships. See force-by-force action items at a glance.
Industry-Specific & Market-Relevant
Every force includes car rental-specific prompts: airport pickups, franchise vs. captive fleets, insurance packages, OTA distribution, and vehicle lifecycle costs. That keeps insights relevant to rental operations, revenue management, and partnership negotiation. Use the prompts to create realistic scenarios for US urban and travel markets.
Clear & Professional Formatting
Clean layout, labeled sections, and visual scorecards make the analysis presentation-ready for execs or boards; each force has a short description, score field, drivers, and recommended actions. Tables export cleanly into slides or reports so you don't redo formatting. Presentable in minutes.
Investor & Business-Plan Ready
Use the analysis directly in investor decks and business plans to show market understanding and risk mitigation for fleet investment, location strategy, or revenue streams. The template ties force outcomes to financial levers investors care about, like utilization, ADRs (average daily rates), and ancillary take rates. Clear risk-to-return linkages included.
Compatible with Excel & Google Sheets
The Excel/Sheets version provides editable scorecards, color-coded pressure ratings, and radar charts to visualize competitive intensity across locations or segments; update numbers and charts refresh automatically for comparisons. Works the same in Google Sheets for team collaboration. Visuals speed investor conversations.
Time-Saving, Pre-Written Content
This pre-written analysis saves hours of research and writing by supplying structured force narratives, driver lists, and recommended actions tailored to car rental dynamics-so you focus on decisions, not drafting. It's defintely faster than starting from blank pages.
Perfect for Business Consultants & Market Analysts

Reuse templates across clients and tailor the scoring model per assignment. One template serves many projects.
Ideal for Students & Business Schools
