Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to incentivized rental vehicle return. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a user device can determine a return location and a return date for a rental vehicle that is subject to an existing vehicle rental agreement between a user and a rental company. The user device can calculate a return on investment (“ROI”) for the return location and the return date in consideration of an incentive to be provided to the user, compare the ROI to an initial ROI based on the existing vehicle rental agreement, and determine whether the ROI is greater than the initial ROI. The user device also can present, to the user, a return option that identifies the return location, the return date, and the incentive when the ROI is greater than the initial ROI.
