The Russians seem to have "tasted" car rental, realized its advantage. Hence the huge growth rate rental cars mobiles in Russia. Annual growth - more than 20%! In this article, we will talk about renting a car - where to get a car for this, what class, how much, etc. And also about the pitfalls of this business. But let's start with the main thing, let's talk about customers.
In Russia, the car rental business is rapidly gaining momentum
Car rental customer base
The customer base can be divided into two subspecies:
- legal entities;
- individuals.
Legal entities
In our country, legal entities are mainly represented by representative offices of foreign companies. In the West, it has long been understood that becoming a corporate client (and therefore enjoying discounts) of a car rental company is cheaper than keeping your own car fleet and incurring the associated costs. Gradually, domestic firms also come to this, but too gradually.
Individuals
Here the composition is more diverse:
- middle and higher level businessmen;
- top management of large companies;
- Foreign tourists;
- people renting a car for various celebrations.
As you can see middle class not included in this list. The middle class in Russia is still weak and cannot afford to use car rental on a permanent basis.
Often cars are rented for special occasions.
Some doubts may cause the first two positions in this list. These people should definitely have their own car. But there is nothing surprising here. Cars sometimes break down, get into an accident, and a businessman without a car is like without hands. Yes, and he was not used to being without car key in the pocket. He is uncomfortable! In addition, domestic businessmen often rent a car to enhance their image. For example, negotiations with an important client are coming up and a contract with a large number of zeros is at stake. For this case, you can light up on a representative brand new Mercedes, and not on your Passat, not the latest model.
Some narrowness of the client base does not mean at all that the keys to your rental cars can be trusted by everyone. Car rental companies usually refuse customers under 21 (and for expensive cars- 25 years) and a driving experience of less than a year (or even 3 years).
If a premium-class car is rented without a driver, then the company breaks through such a client in its databases for a criminal record.
Where to get a car for car rental
This is a business, which means that it obeys all its laws. The main one is to try to put money into circulation, and not to deaden it in fixed assets. Hence the conclusion. If you have, for example, 2 million rubles, then it is better to lease 6 cars for them executive class by paying a down payment of 30% of the cost of a car than buying 2 cars.
In any business, it is important to properly manage your finances.
Let's say each car will bring 60 thousand rubles a month. Of these, you will give 30 thousand for leasing. In total, your monthly profit will be 30,000 x 6 = 180,000 rubles. When buying two cars, this will be 2 x 60,000 = 120,000 rubles. But you still have to pay for insurance and Maintenance, and with leasing, all this is already taken into account in the monthly payment.
You can, of course, buy used cars for little money, externally bring them to a new state and let them go for rent. As practice shows, very quickly such cars begin to break down often, without bringing any profit, only losses. After all, when renting a car, a person treats it, not like his own. Hence the increased wear.
By the way, leasing provides for a scheme under which it is possible to rent in 3-4 years old car, as a down payment for a new car!
What should be the structure of the fleet
In the very general case rental car fleet must have cars:
- premium class;
- business class;
- Economy class;
- retro and exclusive.
Features of the customer base in Russia dictate interesting proportions among these classes - 20–30% of the total number of cars is premium class, 60–70 is business class, the rest is economy (excluding retro and exclusive cars). In these classes, cars with both a manual transmission and an automatic transmission are in demand.
The farther from Moscow and St. Petersburg, the more demand in the economy class. Our only advice - do not use Russian cars. Domestic "Ladas" are no longer so different in price, but their reliability still leaves much to be desired.
Where to keep cars
No garages! After all, most of the time your cars should drive! Therefore, the most acceptable option is parking. By the way, it could be a parking lot near some large shopping center or hypermarket. It is only necessary to resolve organizational issues with their leadership. You can also rent office space there. Ideally, if the parking lot is located near a major transport hub - a railway or bus station, but not an airport, which is too far from the city, which is inconvenient for the majority of customers.
Car rental price
This the most important indicator needs to be determined after being drawn up carefully. It is necessary to carefully calculate all the costs - for maintenance personnel, car maintenance, leasing costs, the cost of parking, office rent, advertising (a very important expense item, especially for start-up companies), etc.
In no case, to reduce costs, we do not recommend:
- (see arguments above);
- save on insurance (exclude various insured events, for example, theft);
- save on car equipment (for example, not equip it with a system that allows you to track the location of the car).
Of course, it is necessary to strive to reduce costs, but doing it wisely. More promising is an increase in the range of services. For example, delivering a person home after various celebrations. That is, you provide the client with a car for rent with a driver plus a driver who will deliver to specified place his car.
Currently, car rental prices are approximately the following:
- Economy class ( Chevrolet Aveo, Renault Logan, Daewoo Lanos etc.) - 900–1500 rubles / day;
- business class (Toyota Corolla, Mazda 6, Nissan Teana, BMW 1–3 series, Audi 1–4, etc. Ford Mondeo) - 2500–4500 rubles / day;
- premium class (Toyota Camry, Toyota Land Cruiser, Infiniti, BMW 5–7 series, Audi 6–8, Lexus, etc.) - from 5000 rubles per day.
All prices are without driver. If a driver is needed, then $60/day is usually added to the price tag.
Another point is the daily mileage. As a rule, it is limited to 200 km / day. If more - the daily rate increases sharply.
Renting a car under a taxi is a very reliable and attractive niche for today. Until the invention of flying saucers, the attractiveness of the automobile business is likely to continue to grow.
In this article, we will talk about the intricacies of earning money by renting a car or renting it. Income with this approach begins to flow almost immediately after the start. It's like just going to work in a taxi, only in this case there is practically no need to work.
We will describe what steps you need to take to find start-up capital and in one year pay it back more than 100%. This article will provide answers to frequently asked questions and valuable advice choice of car.
The material will be useful to those who are now in search of fresh, relatively safe and reliable business models, as well as full of energy and determination!
What does it mean to rent a car?
As you might have guessed, the essence of this business is to rent a car to taxi companies.
Since we are talking about a scheme without start-up capital, then we immediately make a reservation that there is also a scheme with initial capital investments. About 500 thousand rubles will be enough. Accordingly, in this case, the payback period will be shorter, and the tasks associated with loans and credits will be absent.
Conventionally, the business model of making money on renting a car for a taxi can be described in the form of 4 steps:
- To buy a car. Used, economy class. Hyundai Solaris, as an option;
- Register the vehicle in your name, issue OSAGO and CASCO.
- Rent a car.
- Look after the car, maintain it technical condition, carry out maintenance and repair, pay fines for traffic violations, renew insurance, etc.
That's the whole business plan. Already from the third step, your investment project will begin to make a profit.
How much can you earn on this?
Let's do some rough calculations. We will consider the option when the car is rented out for subsequent redemption. This way has a number of advantages in comparison with a simple lease. For example, a driver is much more careful about potentially his own car than a completely foreign one. But we will return to this later.
The average lease term is 3 years. After that, the driver can redeem the car at the remaining cost. A certain installment plan that is beneficial for both the driver and you.
Let's calculate the revenue from one car for three years when renting with a subsequent purchase.
The average number of shifts per year is 300 pieces. This is a six day work week.
The average price for renting a car with subsequent purchase is 1,700 rubles per shift.
3 years * 300 pieces * 1700 rubles = 1,530,000 rubles.
Now let's calculate the costs. Let's take roughly the figure of 500 thousand rubles. Where 475 thousand rubles is the approximate cost of a supported two-year-old Hyundai Solaris car. Plus 25 thousand rubles for related costs.
In total, income of 1,530,000 rubles exceeds expenses of 500,000 rubles by more than three times. The remaining 30,000 rubles will go plus or minus to pay fines for traffic violations drivers at work.
This example corresponds to the real business example of Nikolai Mrochkovsky. He bought a Hyundai Solaris car the day after he learned about the business from an acquaintance. With all the associated costs, the price was exactly 532,300 rubles. And he began to rent it out by the day for 1,700 rubles. For two years, net income is expected to be about 1,500,000 rubles, which corresponds to 94% per annum.
In this video, Nikolai briefly talks about his experience.
The table below provides more detailed figures.
It turns out that the profitability per year is almost 100%. It's like someone giving you a car every year. At the same time, if the profit is not spent, then the number of cars in your fleet can grow exponentially. That is, after the first year - 2 cars. After the second - 4. After the third - 8. And so on. Imagine 8 of your cars in a row in your yard in three years - it's quite realistic if you start now!
The following example from Nikolai Mrochkovsky is nissan car Teana 2016, also bought in Moscow with all the associated costs for a million rubles. This car is considered Comfort + class. The car was also leased by the day for 2,800 rubles. In this case, the net profit amounted to 2,500,000 rubles for three years, which corresponds to a yield of 84% per annum.
See the table below for details:
As these examples show, the business of buying a car and then renting it out is very profitable. But how will things be if there are no funds of their own? Next, let's break down the business process with the involvement of borrowed funds.
Taxi car on credit: how profitable is it?
It often happens that you have to start your business from scratch. And not every type of business allows you to do this. However, the idea of renting a car is quite suitable for this. You can not spend a penny of money out of your pocket and buy a car, and not one.
Make it real with the help of lending tools. To begin with, you need to apply for a loan on approximately the following conditions:
- Loan amount - 2,400,000 rubles
- The interest rate on a loan, for example, at VTB Bank is 15%
- Loan term - 3 years.
Then you need to buy 2 Hyundai Sonata cars. We will talk about how to take such a loan and buy two Hyundai Sonatas for 2,400,000 rubles below, but for now we are counting further.
Such a loan involves a monthly payment to the bank of 29,000 rubles.
The cost of renting a Hyundai Sonata is 2,500 rubles per day.
Let's assume that the car will work 25 days a month. Although the option is also possible in 60 shifts, if you rent a car not for daily rent, but in 2 shifts.
Accordingly, 62 thousand rubles of revenue will come from one car per month.
Subtract all costs from revenue:
9 300 rubles- payment for the services of the management company. In this example, we are using the services of a management company, but next we will look at how we can handle administration ourselves relatively easily and without spending time;
10 000 rubles- repairs, fines, fees, and so on;
29 000 rubles- monthly payment of the loan.
Total net profit will be 14,000 rubles from one car and 28,000 from two, respectively.
The loan will be repaid after three years. 2 Hyundai Sonata cars will remain in your ownership.
This example is based on the real experience of the same Nikolai Mrochkovsky. In the video below, Nikolai talks about this case.
Let us give another example for the case with borrowed funds.
Solaris was taken on credit for 490,000 rubles.
7,100 rubles were spent on accounting and OSAGO policy.
The car was rented for 1,700 rubles per day.
Monthly credit return amounted to 20,700 rubles.
Net profit, taking into account bank payments, amounted to 1,278,000 rubles for three years, which corresponds to 6,000% per year. Detailed numbers in the table.
As you can see, this option is extremely profitable.
Now it's time to run through the most common questions.
How to get a car loan if you already have loans?
Loans are issued by banks as long as the payer has the ability to repay them. Ask your bank how much they can give you.
There is one secret. If you apply simultaneously to several banks, you can borrow a fairly large amount. It can be at least ten banks. At least half of them will approve your loan.
And it's possible. Banks have no way of knowing that you are applying to several other financial institutions at once. Because information on loans is laid out by banks in the database of the national bureau of credit histories only after 5 days. Therefore, as soon as you are approved for a loan, immediately receive money and go to buy a car.
But do not forget to make payments on time, avoiding the expiration of the payment deadline. Download special mobile app, which allows you to track your credit processes.
An additional plus is that over time you will have a positive credit history and you will have more opportunities to attract funds from banks. After all, for them you will become a trustworthy borrower.
How to get 20% discount on cars?
The answer is simple - wholesale. Buying cars in bulk for resale on installments is a lucrative business in and of itself. But, since we are considering an option with a limited budget, the scheme is suitable for this -investment pool.
The essence of this approach is that several people come together to make a bulk purchase of cars. In our case, it will take 20 people who will buy one vehicle from one dealer.
At the same time, the discount for each car will be an additional 20% of the final price for which it was possible to bargain. Car dealers willingly go for such deals. The same applies to almost any wholesale business. The main thing here is competent financial plan where we can help with our webinar oncar rental business .
Where to find partners for a wholesale deal?
There are many interest groups and communities on the Internet. Often their participants unite for a joint purchase. And the automotive market is no exception to the rule.
Such cooperation will also be useful for discounts on car maintenance. Joint purchase of winter and summer tires, discount on refueling, repairs and almost any service. In general, any company, in fact, makes a profit due to the scale of its activities.
These same advantages can be used simply by teaming up with other people with the same tasks. Here's another way to save money. Alternatively, write comments on this article, and we will bring you together. Better yet, joinseminars in the Investment Territory , on which we analyze the most trump strategies for investing in cars. Our investors will share their best practices with you and give you high-quality feedback.
How to reduce the risk of car damage?
Car wear and tear is inevitable. But its speed can be reduced. Here are some tips on how to do this:
- Rent a car with a subsequent purchase . As we mentioned, the driver will be more careful about potentially his own property than someone else's.
- Pay attention to the intensity of the repair . If the car is often repaired, then you need to find out the true reasons. Perhaps you should think about changing the driver. But the driver is far from the only reason for frequent repairs. It can also be in the services of a car repair shop and in the quality of replacement parts.
- If the car, on the contrary, is repaired very rarely or not at all, then it is worthmake occasional trips with drivers. The goal is to identify faults and control the condition of the car.
On modern market There is already a rich practice of renting a car. The obvious conclusion is that the profitability of this business largely depends on the class of the car. Recall that there are four comfort classes: "economy", "comfort", "comfort +" and "business".
We have compiled a table of profitability of cars depending on their class. Please note that prices are for vehicles manufactured in 2017.
As we can see, the most profitable class of cars for renting a taxi is the economy class. Working with this car has its own nuances and limitations. But they are more economical not only in terms of use, but also from a business point of view. In this case, it is appropriate to say - economy is economy.
С Comfort+ class is the least profitable in percentage to costs. But this option is also capable of generating superprofits. We will consider this case later in the article and during the course.
Cars with which gearboxes are suitable for rent?
Automatic - definitely. Why? Let's list the reasons:
- Everyone can drive an automatic. On the mechanics - not everyone;
- according to statistics, most drivers prefer an automatic transmission;
- mechanics often break. Again, statistically;
- mechanics are more expensive to repair.
The only downside to the machine is expensive price. But these costs will pay off with a vengeance in the long run.
What color car do you prefer?
White. If there are no restrictions, then white, definitely.
Firstly, this color is legally accepted official color taxi in some cities. And the trend is towards the fact that soon it will spread throughout Russia. And having a car of a different color, you just run the risk of not getting a driver's license.
Secondly, White color is the base for car manufacturers. Accordingly, the prices for these models are much cheaper. Sometimes the price between cars can differ by 15% only due to the color. And if the color is metallic, then by all 20%.
Third, if you decide to hand over the car to the management company, then they may reduce the price for it or not accept it at all.
This is one of the many elementary beginner mistakes. Don't do it. You better gobeginner investor course and enter this business fully armed!
Does the age of the car matter when renting?
This factor does not special significance unless we're talking about brand new cars. Not so long ago the portal auto.ru published interesting data on how the cost of a car in rubles changes depending on the year of its production using the example Kia Rio.
We see that the price of a car changes the most a year after the year of manufacture. Changes are 20% or 150 thousand rubles. In a year, the cost of a car will decrease only by 10% or 68 thousand rubles. In the third year - only by 7% or 41 thousand rubles, respectively. And in subsequent years, the numbers change slightly and downwards.
This means that buying a used car for rent is more profitable than investing in a new one. Because by purchasing a zero car, you will lose 20% of its value as soon as you leave the car dealership. The best option, as we see from the table, are cars 2 years old.
This picture may differ depending on the model, but this difference is not significant.
Where is the best place to buy a car?
There are several favorite places where car rental business professionals prefer to buy cars.
In the first place areleasing companies . For example, VTB Leasing ". This is not an advertisement, it's just that this company has a large turnover. Recall that leasing is a service of providing machinery, equipment and other movable and immovable property for rent to organizations on the security of other property.
In addition to rent payments, a significant part of the income of leasing companies is the sale of property confiscated from the fines, which they had previously left on bail. And very often such property is vehicles. Such equipment is a liability for leasing companies, and they are interested in selling it as soon as possible. Therefore, we are ready to provide significant discounts.
Another popular option isbuying a car from a taxi company . Sometimes taxi companies hold something like a sale. Their offers can be easily found on the ads on Avito or other sale and purchase boards.
In this option, we need to understand how urgently they need money. If they have a cash gap, then they are morally ready to give the car on pleasant terms. In this case, their ads are laid out en masse, on the same day. If the unloading of cars is distributed over time, then, most likely, this is a planned renewal of the taxi fleet. It is better not to buy such cars, it is not for nothing that they want to get rid of them in the first place.
Here is such a secret. You will get even more secrets by completing our training course, become a professional car buyer and can make good money on reselling cars.
Don't forget about bargaining. You have every right to do so. For example, when buying a car in a taxi depot, you can always refer to the fact that a car from a taxi depot is a pig in a poke for well-known reasons. And if they tell you that this is a necessary measure, well, this is another confirmation that they urgently need money, and they are ready to make concessions.
In this case, be inflexible, state your price, and say goodbye, giving you time to think while you look for other offers. Feel free to drop 15-20% of the average market price. It is highly likely that you will be called back within five minutes. But do not forget about car diagnostics before buying, as described earlier. Better to be safe once again.
Pleasant bonuses of buying a car from a taxi fleet are:
License. Because the term of its registration is quite long, and is one and a half months.
Taxi driverthat worked on this car. Often the car is already rented from taxi drivers. If so, that's a big plus. Firstly, the taxi driver managed to get used to this car, and secondly, he has already formed his own clientele and this will significantly close the marketing issue.
Insurance. The car from the taxi fleet has already registered OSAGO and CASCO policies. And they just need to be rewritten.
At our training seminar, you will learn many of the same nuances that experienced automotive businessmen have accumulated over the years.
How to choose the right used car?
Along with buying a used car, you can always buy a bunch of problems to boot, if you do not know how to choose the right one. What problems could these be:
- broken engine. If the engine started and the car was able to drive a few meters, this does not mean that it is in good condition. Not all breakdowns can be identified during a test drive. Some of them can make themselves known immediately after leaving the gates of the auto market;
- the car may be stolen. There are sad situations when the car is taken away from the owner after purchase. You can check the “reputation” of a car using traffic police bases . The history of a vehicle registered in the capital is tracked on Portal AutoCode.
- you can buy a "shifter" or "accordion". This is a popular complaint of cars restored after serious accidents. The accident rate of such machines increases dramatically;
- an abundance of "plaster". So among motorists they call excess primer coatings that hide external defects (dents, welds, scratches) of the car. As a rule, these defects are associated with accidents or corrosion of the body metal.
These are not all problems, but only the most common ones, which 80% of cars on the road face to some extent. secondary market. And every day this figure is growing, because buyers have already learned to identify goods of inadequate quality. Therefore, such machines are filtered out, accumulated and wait for their “lucky ones” for a long time.
Recently, a whole business service has been formed - the selection of a car. When trained specialists accompany the buyer in the car market and test the cars they like according to various parameters using special equipment and software.
For example, services such as:
- legal due diligence;
- checking the body with a thickness gauge;
- diagnostics of control units;
- computer diagnostics of the engine;
- etc.
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 give preference to budget foreign cars, as they are equipped with air conditioners in basic configurations, and clients of taxi firms call just such cars during a hot period of time.
- Purchase of 10 cars Reno Logan, of the 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 is the approximate cost of this car, a total of 4,000,000 rubles is 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. Obtain for each car at the Ministry of Transport of your region special permission for taxi transportation - 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:
- IP registration certificate;
- TIN certificate;
- 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.
- Installation of gas-balloon equipment (1 car - 25,000 rubles). Follow to gas bottle did not take up most of the trunk. The result is 250,000 rubles.
Additional options required for work:
- GPS navigator 4,000 rubles / 10pcs / 40,000 rubles
- music, covers, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, emergency sign - 5,000 rubles / 10 pieces / 50,000 rubles
- video recorder 3,000 rubles / 10 pcs. / 30,000 rubles
- purchase of winter tires and disks 120,000 tr. (12,000 - 4 wheels)
Final investment before renting cars: 4,866,346 rubles.
When everything is ready, the cars are equipped with everything you need, the documents are in hand, you need to start earning.
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 on the 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 unprofitable, but the driven cars will be more and more idle for repairs, and this 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 deduct transport tax of 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, cars that are rented in a taxi serve two years with timely maintenance, then it is not profitable to maintain and service 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.
Good luck in business!

Introduction
ABOUT taxi car rental businessa lot has already been written: the Internet is replete with all sorts of ideas on how to make your car bring money. In this article, we decided to go further and tell you how to make a profit without investing your own money. Moreover, how to earn money without even investing in buying a car.
You will find out that even used cars can generate about 1.5 million rubles. for three years of work.
We will show with specific examples how to scale this business and increase its profitability tenfold. You just have to repeat any of the schemes described below. And the first profit will not keep you waiting - you will receive it within 1 - 2 months after the start. In a very short period of time, you will have your own successful and stable business. Car rental business.
How it works?
How does investing in cars work anyway? The scheme is quite simple and affordable, to accept its work and implement it, you do not need a bachelor's degree in economics.
Scheme No. 1. Turning 500 thousand into 1.5 million on a used car
If you have at least 500 thousand rubles, then you can safely take on the implementation of the project. It contains several steps:
Stage 1.We buy a used economy car. For example, Hyundai Solaris.
Stage 2.We register it for ourselves, purchase CASCO and OSAGO insurance.
Stage 3.We rent (for taxi drivers, management company or taxi company).
Stage 4.We make sure the car is in good working order Maintenance, maintenance, renewal of insurances, etc.
A two-year-old Hyundai Solaris costs an average of 475,000 rubles.
Insurance: OSAGO 15,000 rubles, CASCO 20,000 rubles.
Additional expenses plus re-registration of a car for a new owner (for you) - 24,000 rubles.
TOTAL starting investment - 534,000 rubles.
Let's move on to income. Here we have two options: simple lease and rent with the subsequent redemption of the car.
- Simple rent.Economy class cars are now rented as standard for 1500 rubles per day. Your vehicle quietly generates income for you, based on the degree of loading. For example, in 20 days a car will bring 30,000 rubles. revenue.
- Rent with the subsequent redemption of the car.More profitable and safer. The car will be rented out already for 1700 rubles per day. The condition for the purchase of a car is its lease for a period of more than 3 years.
The approximate workload of a car per month is 25 days.
RUB 1,700*25 days = RUB 42,500 - your income per month.
42500 rub.*12 months = 510,000 rubles. - your annual income.
Even with a dry calculation, given that the car will be loaded only 25 days a month, and not 30, the profitability of your car will be 95.5% per annum.
A car that has been used for 1 year almost completely pays for its cost and, subsequently, works exclusively for profit.
Solaris in our example will bring 1.5 million rubles in 3 years. Then it can be sold at a residual value (including depreciation) for 250-300 thousand rubles.
In total you have invested:534 thousand rubles
And the profit for 3 years plus the residual value of the car (the total income of the project):1.78 million rubles
Scheme No. 2. We earn 2.7 million in 3 years without investing a penny
To implement this idea without investing your own funds, you need to contact the bank and apply for a car loan.
This scheme is more entertaining and has its advantages over Scheme 1. Firstly, you do not need to puzzle over where to get the money, and secondly, a car bought on credit has a CASCO policy. You will not have to pay for it in cash, because. insurance is issued simultaneously with the purchase and is included in the cost of the loan. It is issued in favor of the bank and, if an insured event occurs, the loan will be paid to the bank at the expense of the insurance company's funds.
Consider an example of buying two Hyundai Sonata Comfort+ class .
We go to the bank and take out a loan in the amount of 2.4 million rubles. at 15% for 3 years. This is enough to purchase two Hyundai Sonata. In addition, there is an opportunity to get a discount of 200 thousand rubles. from each car.
To get such a discount, you will need like-minded people. Such a kind of pool of investors, about 20 people, who, like you, want to save money when buying a car. Remember, wholesale and high volume always leads to profit. This applies not only to the acquisition, but also to maintenance: repair, maintenance, insurance, washing. The costs of the management company, which will take care of all the issues of loading your cars, will also be significantly reduced.
Next, you go to a car dealership and take a loan of 20 units of Hyundai Sonata or any other brands from the same price category with similar technical specifications. As a result, you get a very good discount of about 200 thousand rubles. from every car.
Having issued a car loan for 2.4 million rubles, you will make a monthly payment of about 29 thousand rubles. for every car.
Let's calculate how much income the purchased foreign cars will bring you.
Considering that Hyundai Solaris belongs to the economy class, and Hyundai Sonata, in this regard, is several levels higher, then the daily cost of renting such a car will be more - 2500-2700 rubles.
It would be foolish to say that in small and medium-sized cities a car can be rented for such a rather big price. We give the figures that worked in Moscow, so car rental prices for the regions should be adjusted.
The calculation will be made under the minimum possible conditions. That is, we calculate the workload of the car based on 25 working days, and not 30 or 28 days. We multiply the cost of rent per day by the number of working days of the car. We get:
2500 rub.*25 days = 62 500 rubles. - this is the amount, every month, you will receive from one unit of transport.
Let's find out the net profit. We minus all expenses from total income:
- We will pay the management company 15% - this is 9.3 thousand rubles;
- Approximately 10 thousand rubles will be spent on technical, maintenance, repair and insurance;
- Monthly payment bank - 29 thousand rubles.
There remains 14,000 rubles of net passive income from 1 car. From two cars - 28,000 rubles.
And after the expiration three years you will be completely free from credit obligations for the car. The residual value is already yours. The price of the car is not reset, but only reduced by about 30% in 36 months. That is, Hyundai Sonata, which has been in operation for three years, is quite realistic to sell for 850 thousand rubles.
During these 3 years, you will earn a net profit of more than 1 million rubles. and receive income after the sale of the car:
850 thousand * 2 cars + 1 million rubles. = 2.7 million rubles
Your net and guaranteed income is 2.7 million rubles, and this is only on two cars. Imagine how much 3, 4 or 5 cars will bring you in total!
And if you make a calculation based on 29 days of loading, and not 25, this will already create you 48,000 rubles / month, that is, 576,000 rubles. in year.
The scaling scheme is simple: more units of transport - more profit. You are able to control your income yourself, you just need to decide what scale of activity you prefer for yourself.
We will analyze the main nuances in order and at the same time we will reveal to you a few tricks that will help you to debug and maintain your car rental business well.
Cunning first.Let's return to the problem of car breakdown during operation. How to reduce the risk of driver careless handling of your car? The exit is very simple. Instead of an ordinary lease, you rent a car with the possibility of a subsequent redemption.
When a driver takes a car for ransom, on a subconscious level, he already considers the car his own. Therefore, he treats her in a completely different way, more carefully and accurately. In addition, the investor receives a permanent tenant, and hence a regular, stable source of income. The car is run by one person, and does not wander every week, month from one driver to another.
The second trick. It follows smoothly from the previous benefit. This secret is incomprehensible to drivers, but, nevertheless, the business of car owners is built on it.
Tenants take cars on the basis that they will work on them for three years. But practice shows that practically none of them can withstand this period. Over 80% of all taxi drivers regard their employment as temporary.
Either way, you win:
- if the driver worked properly for three years and bought the car (which is unlikely), then you get a decent income;
- if the driver does not meet the deadline and leaves, then you rent the same car on the same conditions to another friend. And continue to earn higher profits.
Cunning the third. Many people ask how to take a loan for several cars? Everyone knows that due to excessive financial burden, no bank will approve another loan. Especially if you already have a couple of cars on credit, and even a mortgage, even if you are the most reliable borrower who regularly makes payments.
This is where another life hack can come in handy. It consists in contacting banks and taking out all loans at the same time. In one day, it is quite realistic to leave applications in all financial institutions of the city. The secret is that credit history inquiries are uploaded within 5 working days. Bank employees simply will not be able to track your movements. After that, you receive borrowed money and immediately begin to implement your project.
With the help of this approach, borrowing several cars is quite a feasible undertaking. Nothing supernatural needs to be done. Let's see how it works on the real experience of investors from different cities.
Case No. 1 - A million net profit per year on a personal fleet (video)
You just saw another piece of evidence successful implementation car rental business. Evgeny Penkov managed not only to create a whole fleet of vehicles, but also to launch his own management company. This allowed him to save a lot of money on commission. It still carries out its activities, cooperating with the city's leading taxi call service Yandex.Taxi. And all this at the expense of banks.
Case number 2 - How to be different from everyone and at the same time earn 1.17 million (video)
And in this video, a young enterprising investor decided to bet on originality and did not lose. He brought in a little creativity, and instead of white cars, he began to rent "gold" ones, which became an undoubted "trick" of his business!
Case number 3 - How to generate 600,000 rubles a year on a used "horse" (video)

Two methods of running a car rental business
This business is good because you can put it on autopilot and just get passive income. This is easy to do withthe first method - handing over a car to the Criminal Code(managing company).
Today, there are dozens of management companies ready to cooperate. Find them on any bulletin board. Enter the query "rent a car" in the Avito search box and view all the ads. Feel free to call the indicated numbers, compare the conditions that they offer. Here it is important to choose the most optimal and profitable cooperation.
When choosing a management company, focus on a smaller commission. If you have a lot of cars, then this gives you the right to get more favorable conditions. Attract partners, like-minded people and all together contact the Criminal Code. It is quite realistic to agree on a 15% commission, instead of the usual 25-30%.
Second methodsuitable for those who do not want to lose money that the management company takes. Would you like to save a good 20% on commission profits? Start your mini management company! In this case, you have every chance to organize the activities of drivers in two shifts: for example, the first one works during the day from 10:00 to 22:00 pm, and the second at night from 22:00 to 10:00 am. And now, you can already see how your profitability has doubled.
In this case, you have to more work. But if you cooperate with someone, the load will not be so high. After all, all responsibilities will be distributed among the members of your pool. The more people involved in an investment project, the higher its chances of success. You will be able to independently control the activities of the business, adjust the work of the management company, and eliminate shortcomings.
Ready-made solution No. 1: Rent an economy class car
Let's analyze such an interesting question: what will drivers use most in demand - cheap cars economy class or more expensive, comfort +?
To provide for clarity, live non-examples of each class of car.
So let's go.
class - economy, age - 2 years.Real experience of Nikolai Mrochkovsky (investor).
A car was purchased in the city of Moscow, taking into account all expenses, spent - 532,300 rubles. Wasting no time, he was immediately rented out for 1700 rubles per day.
After two years of operation of the transport, it turned out that during all this time it brought a profit in the amount of one and a half million rubles (1.5 million rubles). The annual return was 94% of the initial costs.
Take a look at the table. It reflects the costs and revenues for the entire life of the project.
| Machine cost | RUB 490,000 | constant expenses nye (per year): | |
| Additional expenses: | 21 000 | THAT | 30 000 |
| OSAGO | 6 300 | Tires (+ tire fitting) | 5 000 |
| CASCO | 14 200 | Communication (GPS tracker) | 2 400 |
| Re-registration | 800 | Transport tax | 2 500 |
| OSAGO (new policy) | 6 300 | ||
| CASCO (new policy) | 14 200 | ||
| Total | RUB 532,300 | Total per year | 60 400 rub. |
| Rent per day. rub | 1 700 | Residual value of the car, rub. | 350 000 |
| Pureth profit for 3 years, rub | 1 498 000 | ||
| Monthly cash flow, rub. | 45 967 | ||
| Yield in % yearss | 94% |

The scheme shows good results: 94% per annum plus the residual value of the car after 3 years of service, which is approximately 350 thousand rubles.
Ready-made solution No. 2: Renting a car of comfort class +
Consider another example - the real experience of Nikolai Mrochkovsky (investor).
Car worth 965 thousand rubles, purchased in 2016. Nissan Teana, class - comfort +, age - 1 year. Taking into account all the necessary expenses, the amount of investments is slightly more than 1 million rubles.
The car was rented out, but already for 2800 rubles per day. For all three years of its service, this swallow brought profits to its owner about 2.5 million rubles. And as a percentage, the annual yield was 84%. (see table)
| St Machine cost | RUB 965,000 | Fixed expenses (per year): | |
| Additional expenses: | THAT | 50 000 | |
| OSAGO | 9 566 | Tires (update) | 6 500 |
| CASCO | 21 000 | Connection | 2 400 |
| GPS beacon | 6 500 | Transport tax | 2 700 |
| Registration | 800 | OSAGO | 9 566 |
| CASCO | 21 000 | ||
| Total start-up costs | RUB 1,002,866 | Total fixed costs per year | RUB 96,166 |
| Rent per day, rub | 2 800 | Residual value of the car | RUB 750,000 |
| arrivals l for 3 years | RUB 2,524,636 | ||
| Cash flow per month | RUB 80,640 | ||
| Yield in % years s | 84% |
The investor's experience shows that the return in monetary terms (total profit in rubles) is provided by cars with more high class. But in percentage terms, economy cars are 10% higher than comfort +. If you remember, the yield of Hyundai Solaris was 94% per annum.
What could be the reason for this unexpected fact?
Let's analyze in detail:
- Based on the data of the two tables, it can be seen that investments in Nissan Teana cost 2 times more than in Hyundai Solaris
- The second reason is maintenance. More expensive cars and not cheap to maintain. This also includes repairs, spare parts and CASCO insurance, OSAGO, transport tax, etc.
This explains the difference in 10% yield between economy cars and representatives of the comfort class +.
However, 84% per annum is far from the limit for your future cars. It is really possible to increase profitability on car rental, you just need to know some secrets.
Investments without money: how to get 6000% per annum
Now we will go to the very top, and you will learn how to earn on a car not 100% or even 200% per annum, but as much as 6000% of income.
Consider a tested, working method and back it up with facts. You just have to read and digest the information. And, of course, decide if you are readybecome an investorand make super profits on car rental.
Hyundai Solaris, purchased on credit without a down payment (PV), age - 2 years.
All costs associated with the purchase cost7100 rub.(registration and OSAGO). The monthly payment is 20,700 rubles.
Meanwhile, the daily profit amounted to 1700 rubles.
Despite the fact that the size of the loan payment is very impressive, nevertheless, the net profit for the three-year period, after deducting all related expenses, including the monthly payment for the car, amounted toRUB 1,260,000(see table)
| Price cars | RUB 490,000 | Fixed expenses (per year): | |
| Down payment | 0 rub. | THAT | 30 000 |
| Additional expenses: | 7 100 | Tires (update) | 5 000 |
| OSAGO | 6 300 | Connection | 2 400 |
| CASCO | in the body of the loan | Transport tax | 2 500 |
| Re-registration | 800 | OSAGO | 6 300 |
| CASCO | 14 200 | ||
| Total initial investment | 7 100 rub. | Total expenses per year | 60 400 rub. |
| Loan payment per month | 20 700 rub. | ||
| Rent per day. rub | 1 700 | Remainder actual cost of the car | 350 000 rub. |
| Profit for 3 years, rub | RUB 1,259,612 | ||
| Monthly cash flow, rub. | RUB 25,267 | ||
| Yield in % per annum | 6000% |
CASCO insurance is included in the cost of the loan, which does not significantly increase the amount of the monthly payment. But this method helped launch this business with an investment ofonly 7100 rub.This amount consists of the cost of OSAGO and registration of vehicles with the traffic police.
The daily profit from a car is about 1,700 rubles, and in a month it will earn you 51,000 rubles. Subtract from here the loan service, maintenance, minor repairs, etc. and get 25,000 rubles / month.
For 3 years Hyundai works Solaris you get net income1.26 million rubles, (including the residual value of the car equal to 350 thousand rubles). Of course, minus all related expenses, including the loan payment.
Considering all the minor investments, the yield of this method is 6000% per annum
(420,000 rubles / 7,100 rubles) * 100%.
The key to successful implementation of this method of investment are the following skills:
- Skill in obtaining loans for cars, both new and used.
- Ability to reasonably use OSAGO, CASCO insurance.
- The skill of competently renting a car to a driver.
The method using bank loans is good, but not suitable for everyone.
What if you work unofficially or have a “grey” salary? Or do you have a damaged CI, too many existing loans, a high debt load? A financial institution may refuse a loan for any of these reasons. But do not get upset ahead of time.
We will suggest a simple solution to this problem.
We are considering a scheme WITHOUT attracting loans
How to earn 1587% annual income without having own car? A friend of ours faced a similar problem. Wanting to get a car loan, he was refused by the bank.
But here's what he came up with.
An enterprising comrade just took it and rented it himself Renault Logan(economy class). The car was issued with a taxi license. What are the results of his venture?
31 000 rub. - rent for one month;
2 400 rub. - daily income;
41 000 rub. - net profit for one month;
1587% - yield in percent per annum!
To achieve this result, the investor acted as follows:instead of renting a car by the day, he put two drivers behind the wheel in shifts.
Such a maneuver made it possible to have 41,000 rubles. income monthly and 1,500% per annum, and this despite the fact that the car was rented and not owned (see table)
| Rent per month (costs to start a business) | 31 000 rub. | How profit is formed: | |
| Number of drivers | 2 | Plan for a shift | 4000 rub. |
| Profit per shift (12 hours) | 1200 rub. | Driver's RFP | 2000 rub. |
| Changes per month | 60 | Petrol | 600 rub. |
| Monthly income | 72 000 rub. | Add. expenses | 200 rub. |
| NET PROFIT per month | 41 000 rub. | TOTAL per shift | 1200 rub. |
| Yield in % per annum | 1587% | ||
The calculation was made based on the demand for taxis in large cities and metropolitan areas.
One shift consists of 12 hours. The established revenue plan under the conservative scenario is 4,000 rubles. Although this is not the limit, since on weekends and public holidays, as well as at night, earnings are higher (greater demand and more expensive trip).
Each of the drivers receives a salary of 2,000 rubles. per day.
Gasoline - 600 rubles per shift, and 200 rubles. additional expenses are such trifles as a windshield wiper, washing, etc.
Each 12-hour shift brings 1,200 rubles. net income. And since there are two of them in a day, 60 shifts “fit” in a month.
We subtract from the monthly profit in the amount of 72,000 rubles. car rental 31 000 rub. and we have 41,000 rubles. guaranteed profit month.
RUB 41,000* 12 months = RUB 492,000 - the annual profit that someone else's car brought to the investor.
That's about main advantages of cars as an attachment object:
- Minimum investment- from 7,100 rubles;
- High profitability(relative to other investment objects)up to 6000%.
- Wide availability. Even the fair sex has every chance to start making money in this niche.

There is no need to worry about the demand for car rental - it is quite high and in high demand. And this can be easily verified by placing a test ad, for example, on Avito.
Remember, the solid advantages of this investment project more than cover the minor disadvantages that can be easily eliminated with a competent approach to business.
7 mistakes when investing in a car
We shared with you the successful experience of making money on car rental and showed three cases of the best investors from Moscow and Krasnoyarsk.
Now we want to draw your attention to how not to do it: consider 7 common mistakes that beginner entrepreneurs make. If you still have doubts about possible failure and risks, then you should learn how to avoid annoying mistakes and competently approach the choice of a car for this business. In addition, you will learn: what class of car should be preferred, what is better to choose, automatic or manual, used or new, etc.
First mistake: choose for a car of the highest class
Cars for the transportation of passengers are divided into the following classes: economy, comfort, comfort +, business.
It may seem strange, but the class of a car is not a determining factor at the time of choosing a car. Let's just say it's not that important.
All cheap cars belong to the economy class, but, depending on the type locality or region, a car can roam from one class to another.
Major taxi services such as Uber, Yandex. Taxi and Get-taxi have their own criteria for assessing the level of transport comfort. In their opinion, the cheapest are both the VAZ 2107 and the Hyundai Solaris, although in the city of Moscow, it goes as an economy car.
And their comfort is represented by the following models: Ford Focus, Toyota Camry Skoda Octavia.
Higher in level go already Kia Optima, Lexus ES, Nissan Teana, Hyundai Sonata not older than 2016, and their analogues. This is comfort+.
Mercedes E-class and S-class, BMW 5er, Audi A6 and other similar models. This is business class.
Now let's bring to your attention the profitability of a particular class (see table). You can decide for yourself which car will bring the best profit for you.
| auto class abundance | The price of a new car, rub. | Rental price per day, rub. | Daily profitability of a car as a % of its value |
| Economy | 700 000 | 1 600 | 0,23% |
| Comfort | 950 000 | 2 000 | 0,21% |
| Comfort + | 1 400 000 | 2 300 | 0,16% |
| Business | 2 500 000 | 4 500 | 0,18% |
The table clearly shows that the economy class cars have the most optimal level of profitability. But comfort + is noticeably inferior to him.
Mistake two: choosing the gearbox of your choice
The main principle of successful car rental is to choose desired car the right driver. This rule also applies to the type of checkpoint. Consider the habits and preferences of those who will drive your car.
There is no only right advice on choosing the type of box - it all depends on the specific region and even on the individual driver. So, for example, taxi drivers of the Central Chernozem region cannot live without a machine box. Investors living in this region need to purchase cars of this type in order to successfully rent them out.
Cons: it will take more money to buy a car with automatic transmission, the repair of such cars is also more expensive. So in case of limited funds, do not be afraid and purchase mechanics.
Third mistake: wrong car color
in metropolitan areas and major cities there are laws that limit the color spectrum of cars operating in taxi services. This applies to all classes of cars, except for "business".
For example, in the Moscow Region and the Krasnodar Territory, you can take only 2 car colors for a taxi: either yellow or white. The choice is, to put it mildly, small.
White cars, on average, are 10-15% cheaper than cars of other colors, since white is the base color and does not require additional payment, unlike the rest.
The white used car you met on the bulletin boards is most likely already out from under the taxi. Such cars are valued more, as they probably already have a license for the right to work in a taxi. The advantage is that it can be rented out immediately.
Mistake 4: Buying only new rental cars
Many investors during the start of their project think about what kind of car to buy: new or used. Fearing the hassle of finding a tenant, aspiring entrepreneurs buy a brand new car. As a result, they overpay for the asset.
We don't know if it will please you or not, the fact that used cars generate higher annual returns. And after three years, the work can be sold at a good price.
Let's look at Kia example Rio, what changes does its value undergo in the context of several years of ownership.
Data provided by Auto.ru.
| Year possessions | Vehicle cost, rub. | Loss of vehicle value. rub. | Vehicle cost reduction in % |
| year of issue | 768 000 | 0% | |
| 1 year | 618 000 | 150 000 | 20% |
| 2 years | 550 000 | 68 000 | 11% |
| 3 years | 509 000 | 41 000 | 7% |
| 4 years | 477 000 | 32 000 | 6% |
| 5 years | 454 000 | 23 000 | 5% |
| 6 years | 420 000 | 34 000 | 7% |
We see that in the first year of our operation Kia Rio loses as much as 20% of the cost. And for the second year already two times less - 11% or 68,000 rubles. From 3 to 6 years of using a car, the fall in its price is greatly slowed down and amounts to only 5-7%. (see chart)
By buying a used car, you are unlikely to lose anything, given that every year it will bring you a steady income. Please note that the peculiarity of the change in value, which is observed in the example of the Kia Rio, does not appear in all car models.
A word of advice: when buying a car for cash, give preference to a two-year-old car. They have many advantages.
Fifth mistake: buying a car without a discount
Too expensive cars reduce the profitability of the whole business. That is why it is so important to know where is the best place to buy cars.
Pay attention to leasing companies. For example, VTB Leasing . Here you can rent a car for investment not only profitably, but also quickly. Among the offers of such companies, you can find cars confiscated from those who allowed delays in lease payments. Such machines are considered a distressed asset and are sold at significant discounts.
On the site Auto.ruads are periodically posted about the sale of cars from the fleet. And this is a good opportunity to buy a car for a very favorable price, as the seller is ready to make significant discounts in order to sell the cars as soon as possible. There are many reasons for reducing the cost of such cars. For example, since the car was used to work in a taxi, you can put pressure on the fact that it is too hackneyed and not fresh
A few advantages of buying a car from a taxi company:
- Taxi license already in place. Since, for example, in the Moscow region, the term for issuing a taxi license is 45 days, you can quite save this time.
- Taxi companies sell cars urgently and are ready to offer very attractive discounts. Therefore, you can buy transport at 10-15% below the market value.
- Possibility to buy a car along with his tenant. You will be released from the obligation to look for a new driver, and he will not have to get used to another car.
- Cars owned by the taxi company already insured for CASCO and OSAGO. You only need to re-register everything for yourself.

Mistake #6: Overthinking
Now you will find out which cars for investment should not be bought at all due to their unprofitability.
- Too expensive cars.A striking example is the Tesla car branded by the Yandex.Taxi service. The cost of one unit is $150,000. The price is very significant, but the maximum that it is capable of is to drive 250-300 km without recharging. It is not profitable.
We recommend that you avoid non-standard brands. In addition to the cost of maintaining them, you will not be able to earn much. Don't forget about transport tax, which may well ruin an inexperienced novice investor. Give preference to already proven models, for example: Toyota Camry. You will get a good profit from it, and drivers respect such cars very much.
- Too cheap cars.It is highly undesirable to purchase old and unreliable cars. Such as VAZ 2106-2107 and others of a similar kind. Some people think that they will save a lot on expenses by buying such a car, but they are very mistaken.
Choose brands widely used in taxis:Renault Logan, Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rioetc. Taxi companies have much more experience and knowledge in cars and rely on reliability. Therefore, their choice can be trusted.
Seventh mistake: to rent a car to the first person you meet
You can start with easy ways and hand over the car just to the driver you like. You have to cooperate for a long time, so sympathy and respect for each other are necessary.
Experienced investors know that the tenant is the main element of this activity. That is why many of them adhere to the reverse scheme and purchase a car for a specific driver.
Service can be a good wayAvito.ru. You can choose by yourself the right driver from the resume database, and place an ad about renting a car.
If you want to take things more seriously, then go to popular job portals, for example,superjob.ru or headhunter.ru. Get ready to spend a little. It will take 2-3 thousand rubles to find a worthy candidate, but the result will compensate for the costs.
And there are also special services or, in the common people, "plugs". With the help of them you can select the tenant you need for the car.
Recall that in cases where you do not have enough time or desire to independently search for a driver, you can contact the management company. She will take care of all your vehicle needs. Of course, not just like that, but for a commission, which is, on average, 20-25%.
