Hey Damien, how do you track tickets and tolls in advance without waiting for them to arrive in the mail? A number of clients have gotten parking tickets etc in my name and due to mail delays I often wont see them till a few weeks later. When I catch it I make them pay it. However tickets will sometime show after a return. Usually their deposit is enough to cover it, but if there is a real time ticket tracking system you know of, please let me know!

Hey I’m glad to be apart of the group. I’m located in the Chicago & Northwest Indiana area . I subscribed for the monthly paid subscription, but I cannot locate the contracts that were supposed to be in the course.

Most people entering the car rental business focus on building a fleet as fast as possible. The assumption is that more cars automatically mean more income. In reality, that approach often creates more problems than profit. Here are a few key tips to understand why vehicle selection matters more than fleet size: Tip 1: Prioritize demand consistency over quantity A car that books regularly will always outperform multiple units that sit idle. Focus on vehicles with proven demand in your market. Tip 2: Factor in maintenance before purchase Some cars look profitable on paper but drain cash through frequent repairs and downtime. Always consider long-term upkeep, not just acquisition cost. Tip 3: Keep insurance and operating costs in mind A cheaper car upfront can become expensive if insurance premiums and running costs are high. Real profit is what remains after all expenses. Tip 4: Start with controllable vehicles Choose cars that are easier to manage in terms of reliability, availability of parts, and servicing. Complexity slows down scaling. Tip 5: Build quality before scaling quantity A small, well-performing fleet creates a stronger foundation than a large, unstable one. In car rental, the goal is not to own more cars—it’s to own the right cars that consistently generate profit. @everyone - if you’re building your fleet right now, what matters more to you at this stage: adding more units, or refining your vehicle selection strategy?

When I first started learning the rental car business, I thought the most important thing was just getting a car and finding a renter. But what I quickly realized is something most people overlook… The foundation of your business matters. One of the biggest mistakes new entrepreneurs make is choosing an LLC name that limits their future growth. For example, people often name their company something like: • Fast Car Rentals LLC • Luxury Car Rentals LLC • Exotic Rentals LLC At first it sounds good… but long term it can actually work against you. Here’s why. When banks, lenders, or partners look at your company, they are evaluating whether your business looks like a real scalable company or just a small side hustle. A broad brand name allows you to: ✔ Expand your fleet ✔ Enter new markets ✔ Add new services ✔ Build business credit ✔ Attract investors Instead of locking your brand into one specific thing. For example, a broader name gives you room to grow into things like: • vehicle rentals • fleet management • leasing vehicles • transportation services • logistics or delivery partnerships The goal is to build something that can grow with you. When I started taking the structure of the business seriously, everything began to move differently. Not just the vehicles… But the opportunities around the vehicles. Remember this quote: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.” Starting your LLC is the same thing. Once your business is structured properly, everything becomes easier: • opening business bank accounts • building business credit • getting insurance policies • adding vehicles to the fleet • scaling the operation The hardest part is simply getting started. If you haven’t formed your LLC yet, this is your sign to take that first step.
