Due to my monotanous constant praise, drivle etc of the Scoob, my boss is contemplating buying a brand new Impreza (probably WRX, maybe STi) to hire out along side the fleet of cars, vans, MPV's and 4x4's we already do.
Can I have some feedback/views on whether or not you think this is a viable option? There would be a few criteria to meet before being able to hire the car, namely age/time license held/points etc. Would probably be around £80 per day (Same as the big 4x4's)
Just looking for your views on the subject guys (and girls of course )

 

You would be rebuilding a lot of engines i would think, people are gonna drive them to an inch of death lol

 

Has your boss has been speaking to Alliance then? They offered us some WRX last year and again this week. Not the best bet for a rental car in my opinion.

 

b0110cx to the idea mate, you must know how people drive hire cars anyway.... let alone an impreza! tell your boss to lay down the crack pipe unless he's unsure where to put his cash and in that case get a few more mondo's

 

If you would be willing to hire it out for use on track then we could definately put some good business your way

 

Yeh not a great idea, the last hire car I had, we filmed it in action on an old airfield, and later with tyre smoke, pouring in the heater vents, what fun !

 

You want to hire out a WRX? Im prepared to bet that that car will be the hardest accelerating and latest breakingest WRX ever made.....

 

Ne one know if its Possible to hire a 22B for a day? Not to drive but to take me to my wedding? Not for some time now but thought Id ask! NE body with a 22B wnat a free invite to my wedding! LOL

 

Fella, this sort of thing happens regularly....loads turned up to help me escort my sister to her wedding last year and i know of a young lady that was given a ride in an STi for her birthday....ask about, i'm sure someone will oblige for petrol and free food!!

 

I hired a brand new STi5 Type R back in April '99. It had only done 800miles. I was 1st customer to hire it.

Cost = £120/day.
That was unlimited mileage and insurance included.
Only additional cost was the fuel (2.5 tanks in a day).

I enquired to hire it again 2 months later and found it had been written off! Subsequent details of which were published in that chav mag, Max Power.

The hire company had already lost an STi4 months earlier in same circumstances.
So, hence they were unable to offer anymore scoobs for hire due to insurance.

PS Scoobs were like rockin horse sheet in those days too

 

Thanks for the input guys, I'll pass it on to the boss. Not looking like a good idea really but we'll see.

 

I reckon I could destroy more than £80 worth of tyres in a day, let alone anything else

 

We have an agreement with Avis - they keep giving us a brand new WRX instead of a the focus class of car we should have. Lets just say that people are not sticking to the 1000 miles rule.

Hire car companies used to make money out of running the car for 9 months and then selling at a profit....not sure if this is still the case.
