Silvercar was recently acquired by Audi, so that's an example of a auto manufacturer running an car rental business.

That's why I said largely. I think one or more of the US manufacturers may have investments in rental car companies as well. But I'll still argue the basic point; companies often don't want to own the whole chain. (Auto manufacturers also use a lot of upstream suppliers as well rather than designing and building many of their components.)
