Instruction manual

1

Register your own company. The optimal form of ownership for this type of business is a limited liability company. In the event of a critical situation or bankruptcy, you will risk only property on the balance sheet of the enterprise. In this case, you can register the cars themselves in person.

2

Get some cars. To maximize customer satisfaction, you need to focus not on the number of cars, but on their categories. Buy 1-2 business class cars, several mid-range running foreign cars, as well as several inexpensive "compact cars". As a rule, each of the listed species is in demand. When choosing a car, give preference to 3-4-year-old models with an automatic transmission.

3

Think over security system. Insure cars. Be sure to consider the possibility of insurance and CTP, and CASCO, since the risk of damage from potential customers is very high. Install alarms on the cars, a navigator, and if the budget allows, one of the satellite tracking systems. So you will be confident in the safety of the machine and will be able to minimize potential losses.

4

Find an office space. With a minimum starting capital, you can get by with a small room or even without it. In the latter case, you will receive orders by phone, via the Internet, and give the selected cars to the customer in the place designated by him.

5

Hire staff to work. You will need managers to take orders, mechanics for maintenance and drivers, as in some cases, customers want to rent a car with a driver.

Useful advice

If you are in a large city, try to organize a business on a franchise basis. Working under an already promoted brand, you will significantly save on promotion.
