Having a car is now a matter of course. Owning one is not so commonplace. Over the last 3 years (2019-2022) cars have become at least 50% more expensive, and for some models 100%+, making them unaffordable for many people. Alongside rising interest rates, the cost of living and costs to businesses as such are rising at a rapid rate. This is why more and more people are looking at alternatives and in particular car hire. Firstly, to relieve pressure on their cashflow and secondly, because there is no "going into debt" when renting as there is when buying a car through leasing.
AVIS foresaw this trend and is therefore today a strong player that benefits from this development and is looking for partners with whom it will translate its dominance throughout Slovakia. Because being closer to the customer is the basis for maximum customer satisfaction.
Starting a car rental company is nothing difficult. The easiest way is generally to buy a car and then rent it to someone. However, it doesn't stop there, quite the opposite.
It is much more difficult to deal with the challenges of operational activities, vehicle registration, dealing with claims, repairing damages. Setting up information systems, managing prices, contracting agents, or signing contractual clients... these are just a few of the activities that a professional and reliable car rental company must carry out.
Lending a car to friends, acquaintances and later to a wider circle of customers is a regular business and therefore cannot do without discipline, properly set processes or a strong negotiating position in relation to car dealers or financing banks, which nowadays judge a company's credit with the utmost caution.
Running a professional car rental company is a process that takes several years. Thanks to our know-how, systems and existing contractual partners, this process takes approximately 6 months in our company.
When renting cars, it is important to stay in the black in the long term. Car rental is primarily a seasonal business and the company's business strategy, pricing, fleet size or portfolio of sales channels must be adapted accordingly.
