Let there be light!

Hey everyone!


Running a rental business doesn't stop when the sun goes down. That's why we've been working on improving the lighting around your rental lot, making nighttime work both more practical and much more atmospheric.

We've added new lights around the property, making it easier to inspect, repair, and prepare vehicles even after dark. Whether you're finishing up a late-night rental or getting a car ready for the next morning, you'll always have enough light to get the job done.

At the same time, street lights across Winston Springs are now up and running, bringing the city to life once evening falls. Small details like these make nighttime driving feel much more immersive and give the world a warmer, more believable atmosphere.

We're really happy with how these changes affect the overall mood of the game, and we can't wait for you to experience Winston Springs after sunset. Don't forget to wishlist Car Rental Simulator, and stay tuned for more updates!

P.S. The demo from our friends at Perfect Circle Team launches today! Play it and experience Winston Springs from a whole new perspective!

Building a proper rental business takes time, and when you first arrive at your lot, things are far from perfect. Before you can afford major upgrades, you'll be working on a rough, sandy surface that has definitely seen better days. We wanted the starting lot to really reflect those humble beginnings, so we've been adding more details to make the ground feel properly worn, messy,…Community22 Aug 2026Starting Small: The First Washing SpotHey everyone! Every rental business has to start somewhere, and at the beginning of Car Rental Simulator, you won't have access to a fully equipped car wash just yet. Your first cleaning setup is much simpler. You'll be working with a small handheld pressure washer, which means you need to bring the car to a designated washing spot before getting to work. We wanted to make this area easy to rec…
