Is Owning A Rental Car Business Right For You?

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Feb. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- When you’ve made the decision to be a sole proprietor and not “just an employee” choosing the right business to call your own can be an arduous task.

Of all the possibilities available, owning a rental car business can offer some flexibility that you may not find in other start-up offerings.

There are a number of types of vehicle rental businesses other than the familiar car rental franchise such as association-affiliated independent, non-association independent, and an extension of a car dealership or car repair facility.

Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. And each type offers you an opportunity to custom tailor the business.

Do you want a franchise?  Franchises have certain benefits, like name recognition. But they could carry hefty startup and yearly costs, residual fees and  local business restrictions.

Maybe strike out on your own with none of the franchise fees, rules and commitments? Would a business that caters to a certain demographic, a certain community or fills a specific niche be more to your liking?

You could rent cars, trucks, and or passenger vans. You could rent service trucks, vans and trailers specifically for the contractors in your area.

Your business could cater to the handicap van driver or folk who want luxury rides for special occasions. There really are no limits to what you could offer or how you want to structure your business.
