Si... ..., infatti Longman's Dictionary of English Language and Culture dice che "hire things for just a short time" (quindi suppongo con autista), "rent things for a longer period" (quindi prendi in noleggio l'auto per conto tuo per un periodo di tempo più lungo e senza autista).

noleggio d'automobili

car hire and car rental can be both translated as noleggio d'automobili but the first being mainly British.
Unfortunately this is just personal knowledge and I found no references in the web.
