Each of us at least once in our lives thought about opening our own business, which would certainly bring more benefit and, accordingly, income, rather than what you do on your permanent job. Despite the fact that there are a lot of such people, not everyone will be able to take such a responsible step as dismissal from work and risk with all the means at your disposal. For many, the so-called stability is important, when they are sure that tomorrow morning they will go to work, on the fifteenth day they will definitely receive an advance, and on the first - a salary. At the same time, there is no need to impose any risks on yourself, the employer bears responsibility for everything. But modern trend leads to the fact that even this alignment is not always true. IN public institutions few are ready to work, and in private companies the competition is such that even if you get the coveted position, then with a mediocre attitude to work, few of the bosses will hold on to you.
Accordingly, in order to earn the amount of money that you are counting on, you need to be a purposeful, strong-willed and strong person. This will be enough to open own business. But first of all, decide what exactly you want to do. Indeed, even despite the fact that your business will not be new in a particular locality, and even if you have plenty of competitors, then if you understand the chosen field perfectly, you will surely be able to cope with all the difficulties and even take the first step in the rating of similar enterprises, companies or shops available in your city. So, in a case related to technology, try or repair household or computer equipment. With cars, you can very successfully organize a car rental business.
Which car rental and where will be the most profitable?
On this moment Very a large number of people owns cars. Even more people have driving licenses the right to drive cars of one category or another. And the same number of people are constantly training in driving schools. How can the existing inequality between people able to drive a car and the prices of both the car itself and fuel, which are constantly rising, be smoothed out. It is the car rental salon that will be the most profitable option for those who have already saved up for training and obtaining rights, but not yet for buying a car. Car rental employees will come to the rescue. Here you can find a suitable car for you and rent it for a certain period of time. It will seem to many that this business is possible only in major cities, such as Moscow or Saint Petersburg. But this is not at all the case, because in such settlements there is a very well developed transport system and you without personal car you will be able to reach your destination even faster than with constant stops in traffic jams.
While in small towns people are forced to get to work either on foot or by taxi, which is not a very cheap option. It is this aspect that makes people buy cars. Not everyone has enough money for new ones, so they are forced to buy used cars, which will take longer to fiddle with than ride them. Therefore, opening your own rental salon even in small towns will become a fairly profitable event. In addition to the fact that cars can be rented for everyday use, it is quite successful to organize car rental for any special occasions, for example, for wedding corteges or for discharge from the hospital. You should also not stop only at cars. Many organizations, shops and catering establishments constantly require a certain amount trucks. Therefore, their rental should also be in demand.

How to start opening a car rental salon?
So, having decided in which city you intend to (in a large metropolis or in a small town), you should determine how you organize this enterprise. Several options are possible. The most popular now is to conclude a franchise agreement with a foreign company that provides exactly the same car rental services and start developing a business under their name.
It spells out the rights and obligations of the parties, the duration of the contract, the conditions for its possible termination, and much more.
Each contract must be written in legible handwriting, it should not contain unnecessary references to various clauses of the contract. Another option is to open a rental shop at one of the dealerships.
This is very convenient because there will be quite a lot of customers, it will be possible to attract them right on the way to the car sales center. But this option can be implemented only in large cities, more often in regional centers. Indeed, in the province it is very rare to find car dealerships, especially those offering car rental.
The most recent option involves the opening of an independent rental showroom, which will present one or another number of cars of various brands. positive side the opening of organizations and companies related to cars is that in this area it is not required to obtain a license to provide certain services. Therefore, in order to start all other activities for opening a rental salon, it is necessary to collect and execute the most elementary documents. To get started, you need to register as individual entrepreneur. As already mentioned, a license is not required here, therefore, most likely, you will pay only 1,500 rubles for registration.

What is the success of your car rental business?
If you yourself go at least through the shops, then you will surely understand what is the success (and, accordingly, profitability) of a project. Here, a correctly calculated car rental business plan does not always play a significant role (although this item is not on last place by importance). The main thing in any such case is to meet the demand of customers and, in accordance with it, provide a comprehensive offer. How more cars will be in your fleet, the better. After all, if the client does not find here the car that he needs, he will find it in some other place - with your competitors.
To date, the Moscow fleet of this direction has no more than one and a half thousand cars. At the same time, in this city there are only 2 - 3 large companies, in which the total amount of cars offered for rent is just over a hundred. The rest of the organizations provide their customers with a small choice - from 3 to 10 cars.
Your task is to collect what you need according to your standards. locality, the number of cars available for further rental for all occasions. Clients of such a salon can be both individuals and legal entities. Most often, it is almost impossible to do this, because almost every manufacturer of a particular car is ready to offer more and more new brands and models of cars almost every day. Therefore, your market rental cars should also expand. An important factor will be the location of the salon. Try to identify it either somewhere close to the city center (while keeping in mind that there should be good access roads to it), or to railway stations, airports or bus stations, where people arrive in the first place. If this is not possible, then try to at least advertise your rental shop in the above places.
Car rental is a highly competitive industry, but with the right planning and forward thinking, you can greatly reduce your risk.

Have you decided to start a business and want to earn some passive income? With a small amount of money, you are considering buying a car and renting a car in a taxi. It cannot be called completely passive - you will need to work and control everything. There are a lot of nuances and pitfalls in such a business. For example, buying just one car and renting a car to just anyone is very risky and dangerous. Below, a business plan has been drawn up that will show whether it is profitable to rent a car for a taxi? Approximate calculations taken for a city with a population of 1,000,000 people.
So, to start this business, the first thing we need is cars (10 pieces). give preference Russian car industry or foreign cars? We prefer budget foreign cars, as in basic configurations they are equipped with air conditioners, and clients of taxi firms call just such cars during a hot period of time.
- Purchase of 10 cars Reno Logan, from budget foreign cars, they are the most unpretentious. The chassis of these machines is very strong, many sales representatives drive them. The car must be equipped with air conditioning. 400 000 rubles approximate cost this car, total 4,000,000 rubles your first investment.
- You definitely need to open an IP in the field of taxi transportation. To do this, go to the tax office to submit an application and pay the state fee. Get a special permit for taxi transportation for each car at the Ministry of Transport of your region - 33,000 rubles. It takes 30 days to issue permits from the date of application. To do this, you need to send the relevant documents to the Ministry of Transport of your region:

- a copy of the applicant's passport;
- a copy of the vehicle registration certificate;
- a copy of the leasing agreement or vehicle rental agreement, certified by the applicant, or a copy of a notarized power of attorney for the right to dispose of the vehicle.
- Be sure to think about car insurance, OSAGO or Casco? It's up to you. Casco compensates for any damage, no matter who is at fault, but it is expensive. OSAGO is an acceptable option, but risky, you will receive compensation only if your driver is not responsible for the accident. At the same time, you understand that you need to purchase an unlimited policy. Casco - 70,000-140,000 rubles per year, OSAGO - 25,000 - 35,000 rubles per year (we choose OSAGO). All cars must have special insurance that says that the car is used in the field of taxi transportation. If you do not take this point into account, then in an accident you may be left without compensation for damage, and you will be charged a fine of one thousand rubles.

Where to look for a client and how to rent a car?
So, you are all set, and you need drivers to rent a car to them under a taxi. You should not advertise in the newspaper and rent a car in a taxi to the first oncoming drivers. The first thing you should do is find out the addresses of taxi companies in your city that recruit drivers exclusively with their own transport. You will need to agree with the director, foreman, to rent 10 cars for daily work in a taxi and select the appropriate people for work. We strongly recommend that you personally attend the casting of drivers, and give preference to people with a driving experience of more than 5-7 years. It is better to hire people aged 40-50 years old - they are more accurate drivers according to statistics. Make sure the worker has a local residence permit. Each car will be operated by 2 people for 12 hours a day. approximate cost a car to work as a taxi per day in a city with a million population is 1,000 rubles. Driver who will work for rental car should give you 500 rubles for a 12-hour shift. At the same time, all expenses for the repair and maintenance of cars rented under a taxi are borne by you. We'll talk about this below.
Let's sum up a little about how much profit we get from renting a car in a taxi. Your “dirty profit” per day from one car is 1,000 rubles. But you must understand that people are not robots, and cars require maintenance - and this is a small downtime. Net profit will be 800 rubles per day, and 24,000 rubles per month per car. 10 cars - 240,000 rubles.
Not bad, right?
Now we need to talk about possible risks and the dark sides of renting a car. Renting one or two cars as a taxi does not make any sense. Anything can happen to a car: an accident, fraud by the driver, breakdowns - your passive income will become a big headache. And if you have 10-15 cars, then even if something unexpected happens, your business will be profitable.
With each driver you will have a notarized agreement on renting a car for a taxi. It is desirable that the management of the company in which the drivers will work help you with this. The driver is fully responsible for external damage to the car. Your drivers will work in shifts, therefore it is necessary to draw up a report between them for the acceptance and delivery of the car. Another tip that will make your life easier - arrange with the foreman of taxi drivers to control the workflow of drivers and notify you on any important occasion (naturally for a certain percentage or rate).
If everything is done correctly, then renting a car in a taxi is profitable.
Now we need to talk about the repair and maintenance of cars.
Each car will cover 400-500 km per day, including weekends - approximately 10,000 km per month. It turns out that you need to change the oil every month (oil change 2,000-2,500 rubles per car). Not cheap, I want to tell you, and therefore you need to find a car service where you, how corporate client who brings 10 taxi cars for an oil change every month - they will give a discount to a regular customer. There are others Consumables that require timely replacement: brake pads, clutch, chassis, etc. You need to conclude an agreement with automotive warehouses for the sale of spare parts and consumables so that they sell goods at wholesale prices. Do not expect drivers to carefully operate the car in a taxi. For a year of work in the taxi industry, the car travels more than 100,000 km. In principle, serious investments for this period will not be required, but further breakdowns will be more and more often. In such a situation, many businessmen sell cars for secondary market and buy a batch of new cars. This usually happens after 2 years, when engine resources are running out. At first glance, it may seem disadvantageous, but the cars that have been driven will be more and more idle for repairs, and this is time and your money.
Approximate calculations of this car rental business for a taxi and profit for the year
4,866,346 rubles initial investment of this business when buying 10 Reno Logan cars.
Profit from one car that is rented for a taxi - 24,000 rubles minus 2,500 rubles monthly engine oil change, minus 1,200 brake pads (every 2 months) total 600 rubles per month for pads = 20,900 rubles and subtract transport tax about 90 rubles. Net income from one car will be 20,810 rubles.
We conditionally consider that all organizational measures took us 2 months, so the machines worked for us for 10 months and earned 2,081,000 rubles. For the year you can already earn 2,497,200 rubles. Considering how much was invested, it did not pay off, but you have cars that can be profitably sold for about 300,000 rubles apiece, if you do pre-sale preparation. It turns out that you can earn about 2.5 million rubles a year. and return 3 million rubles. from car sales. Estimated net profit will be 630,854 rubles. Then you can also buy a batch of new cars and just as profitable to rent them in a taxi. As practice shows, the cars that are rented in a taxi serve two years with timely service, then it is not profitable to maintain and maintain them.
small conclusion
Renting a car as a taxi is profitable business if all the details are carefully thought out and invest big money. Usually people who have worked in the taxi industry for more than one year (driver, manager, foreman, mechanic) are engaged in this business and understand all the nuances. Owners of car services, car dealerships, small taxi firms will feel great in the taxi car rental business.
Beginners in this field will have a hard time, especially if you are investing the last money. You must understand that renting a car for a taxi is not renting real estate, anything can happen to transport (accident, theft, fraud, unscrupulous behavior of the driver, disaster). For you, all this should be production costs.
It is better to rent cars for taxis to family people, drivers who have children, they will need this job, and they will drive more carefully. Change all consumables on time, do not let things take their course. Almost everything needs to be controlled by yourself. Drive away cars more often to adjust the camber. Large taxi companies purchase cars on lease, which is very profitable, but only available to large businessmen with a good reputation. You have an individual entrepreneur, so buy any goods that you need for cars in warehouses at wholesale prices. Every month when a car is idle, do a personal test drive to determine the condition of the suspension. Remember, in this business you need to save on everything you can. The business of renting cars under a taxi is in demand, many people do not have the opportunity to buy new car, and they willingly use the opportunity to rent it to work in a taxi.

IN last years In Russia, car rental is becoming fashionable. Moreover, the service is of interest to both car owners and potential tenants. Almost everyone has a car these days. And some owners, being in the office all day, rent out their car. At the same time, in the capital, such services earn up to 2,000 rubles a day.
But imperfect car rental legislation, as well as fear for their car, often prevent owners from starting a business, even if their car is idle for hours under the office windows or in the garage.
However, car rental is a real and very profitable business, and if you approach its organization correctly, the earnings can be quite impressive.
Where to begin. Step by step business plan
First of all, if you already have a car and want to rent it out, you need to take care of the safety of the car. Experts advise first of all to insure your car and issue an extended CASCO. If you have just decided to buy a car, think about which car for renting is more profitable for you to buy. After that, you can draw up a detailed business plan, without which organizing a business is impossible. You will need to decide on the form of ownership, decide whether to rent a car without a driver or use it as a taxi (in the latter case, you need to find good drivers). It is important to conduct a good advertising campaign, as the car rental business is relatively new and only serious advertising can help promote it. Moreover, large companies also rent foreign cars in megacities. And their services are relatively inexpensive.
How much does it cost to start a business
You can start a car rental business with minimal investment. If, for example, you apply for a loan without down payments, then the costs may be less than 10,000 rubles. If you decide to buy a car right away, then you need to count on an amount of 500,000 rubles.
How much can you earn
Earnings on car rental on average can be from 500 thousand rubles a year. In order to understand what income is made up of, Let's look at a few cases.
Purchase of Hyundai Solaris

Case: 2 year old Nissan Tiana
Now consider examples where the initial investment is minimized.
Rent a Renolt Logan
monthly rent behind Renolt Logan
- 31,000 rubles income per month amounted to 72,000 rubles, that is, one car can bring a profit of 41,000 rubles per month.

When renting a car by the hour, it is better to target customers with above-average incomes. As a rule, they take a car to go out of town, when repairing their own transport, or to impress business partners.
It is very profitable to hire drivers. It is best to offer work to familiar employees of taxi companies. If you have a good car and more profitable terms, they will be happy to move to you. You can search for a driver on the ads on Avito or consider offers of special services. For one car, you need at least 2 drivers so that there is no downtime and the car constantly makes a profit.
