Rent-A-Car-Club - Getting Started
If you are just getting started with the rent-a-car club, there are things that you need to do.
Perfect Listing
This is the first thing that you need to do in order to make sure that your car is booked as often as it can. Otherwise, you are not going to make any money. You need to create a listing that will attract potential drivers to book your car and not someone else’s.
- Take photos - when someone wants to rent a car, they want to know what it looks like. No one wants to rent a beat-up car for a special occasion. This is having a picture is the most important part of your listing. You don’t have to have professional photos unless you want but you can do it yourself with a well-lit background and a good quality camera.
- Detail description - the renter will want to know if the car will meet their needs. Since you cannot tell what everyone will want to know, provide as many details as you can. Include things like accessories, such as a stereo, or a roof rack, air conditioning, etc. If you want to rent your car under certain conditions, mention that.
- Updated calendar - this makes a listing more effective because you will only receive booking requests when the car is available. The more requests you accept the higher the listing.
- Fair price - if your price is not fair according to others that are also renting their car, then you will not have any customers. The price should include in it the daily rental plus small booking fee, and insurance. Too high you will not have any bookings but too low and you will lose money.
