If you own a mobile car washing or truck washing company and are considering your sales goals for the year you may wish to check into rental agencies as potential new clientele. Why you ask? Well because rental agencies do pay their bills on time and they have unending amounts of things, which need cleaning all the time.

To find potential customers, get a clip board and then go to the phone book and look up car rental agencies and truck rentals and start making a list and then go online to those companies websites and do a little historical research before going in to make the sale. It helps to know the history of the company before attempting to get them as a client. Let’s take an example such as doing business with Budget Rent-a-Car or Rent-a-Truck. You see, Budget Group Inc. is a huge rental company with revenues in 2000 of nearly 2.5 billion. Budget Group is part of Ryder TRS.

They work in about 120 countries and have about 3200 rental locations. Budget was formed in 1958. Ryder has been renting trucks since 1942 and now has over 3300 locations of truck rentals. They have two-way and one-way rentals like U-Haul. Budget Rent-A-Car was acquired by Ford in 1997 and in 1998 Budget bought the rental fleet of Ryder TRS. Different from Ryder Leasing, but still connected with multi-use locations and synergy driven businesses.

Budget has 500 franchised offices, which are owned and operated by 200 independent franchisees. Budget’s current president was also once a franchisee for Budget’s Truck Rental Business. Budget Car Sales Division are also franchised. Budget dealers sell fleet vehicles new and used, leases, special purchase vehicles and their former rental cars. Some Budget lots are huge but most are around 60-100 vehicles, but they can order anything you want.
