Starting a car hire company - not a PH type one though
Discussion
Chaps I've had a typical biz idea of the type we all get and dismiss daily but I'm going to run this past you guys for mirth, merriment and possibly some good input.
Simply the idea is to hire cars the difference is the cars are DACIAS thus the barrier to entry is lower and the cost to the consumer lower plus the resale will be higher.
We would be super flexible as a start up can be and offer monthly rates etc
What am I missing?
Well after a quick chat with a guy who does tourist beatles tours he thinks pre programmed sat nav tours of Liverpool (self drive) could be a winner so we shall look at it a slightly different way.
Beatles and places of interest are huge in Liverpool for 7 months of the year, it would only be a side project so we will see if it has legs - next stop tourist board!

I have got a small car hire business.
It's not a great sector to be in and Insurance Jon's vehicle resale angle angle above is a good one if you can order enough cars.
Other than that it's v difficult to make any sort of worthwhile profit on standard type cars. Some niche stuff does ok as do things like Luton Vans.
Cant see how you will make any decent money on Dacia and you don't even have the benefit of smoking round in a nice pool car.
Will be a tourism model - in liverpool we have rickshaws, tuck tuks and until recently amphibious craft (that sunk) - we have Beatle tours, taxi tours and now we have cruise liners docking - I'm not the driving force on this but I will be involved to a degree - let's see what we can do.It's not a great sector to be in and Insurance Jon's vehicle resale angle angle above is a good one if you can order enough cars.

Driving in Liverpool is ok once out of town, I think the "tour" would start walking round the ubiquitous Cavern and then they pick the car up somewhere in town.
Dacia total no no for the new tourist angle - possibly automatic mini mpv like a B max wrapped as you say and private plated.
More thought needed but the sat nav of Liverpool life is possibly a better idea than the car hire.
Take it further and you have the "app of Liverpool life" or download and now we're getting somewhere

How about bright yellow VW beetles,"See the Beatles in a Beetle" painted in our special "yellow submarine" paint scheme.Dacia total no no for the new tourist angle - possibly automatic mini mpv like a B max wrapped as you say and private plated.
