Welcome to The Simple Private Car Rental Profits eBook. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or seeking to broaden your income sources, this guide is crafted to help you explore the thrilling realm of private car rentals.

One of the toughest challenges in managing a rental business is addressing the unavoidable breaches of your rental agreements.

Occasionally, individuals may overlook the terms of your contracts, leading to possible damage to your vehicles and interruptions in your operations. It's important to acknowledge that such incidents are a normal part of the business environment.

In situations involving contract violations and other obstacles, upholding professionalism is crucial. Your reputation as a trustworthy and fair business owner is your greatest asset.

Clients and partners will evaluate your business not only based on your performance during favorable times but also on how you navigate challenges.

Always place your reputation above personal emotions; tackle issues with composure and efficiency to maintain your credibility and trustworthiness in the marketplace.

This guide will lead you through the process of obtaining your first vehicles, drawing in your first customers, and scaling your business to achieve a consistent income of $10,000 per month and more.

Starting the adventure of private car rentals can be both demanding and fulfilling. With the right mindset, a commitment to professionalism, and an emphasis on your reputation, you can navigate challenges and reach your financial aspirations.

This method also allows you to start in this business with no upfront costs. Simply contact a private rental company and inquire about their wholesale rates for vehicles.

Essentially, you want to find out the minimum profit the owner expects from a single vehicle. For example, if the owner states it's $300 a week per vehicle, ask if you can charge a premium on top of that rate for any clients you send their way.

This approach is truly one of the best! The reason I say this is that you simply provide vehicles to private rental companies, creating a stream of passive income. Many private rental businesses offer joint venture (JV) programs where they will take your vehicle, manage it, rent it out, and share the profits with you every month.

This approach involves utilizing cash and credit effectively. I began by leveraging the income from my 9-to-5 job, investing $3,000-$5,000 to purchase a cash vehicle. Additionally, you can take advantage of your credit cards; I suggest using one with a 0% interest rate for the first 12 months.

Many individuals aspire to begin with luxury or exotic vehicles, but if you have never rented a vehicle before, why start there?

Additionally, the repair costs for high-end vehicles can easily reach tens of thousands. I prefer to focus on the areas of "Demand."

A quick assessment of vehicles in your city will reveal that while higher-end models exist, you'll likely notice a greater number of everyday cars like Hondas, Toyotas, and Fords. Therefore, it makes sense to start with the vehicles that people commonly drive.

Aim for models that are easy to maintain, such as Ford Fusions equipped with the 2.5L engine. I've found engines listed for just $300 on carpart.com.

Before going to buy or pre-inspect a vehicle, ask if the car has a clean title. We do not want to deal with salvage title cars.

Do some research on a car care app; sign up for free and type the car's VIN # or license plate. It will ask if the car is yours, and you can click yes and then skip, skip, skip. Now go to services and check the odometer, check the dates and mileages, and make sure the mileage hasn't been altered. The odometer needs to be consistent every year.

You can Also, use bumper.com to see the history of the car, & bar.ca.gov is for checking the last time they did a smog check and if it passed. Now that all that checks out, be sure to take a mobile mechanic or someone with a mechanical background.

The following vehicles consistently perform well in the private car rental business due to their reliability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance costs:

Most U.S. states require vehicles to be 15 years old or newer in order to qualify for rideshare services.

In 2026, the oldest eligible model year allowed will be 2011.

Here are the exact steps you will need to take….

The Facebook Marketplace method you just learned is a great way to get your first leads. It proves the model works and gets you your first taste of profit.

But let's be real: it's a hustle. You're manually posting, reposting, and hoping the algorithm puts you in front of the right people.

It's unpredictable and it's not a scalable system for long-term growth.

One week you might get 20 leads, the next you might get two.

You can't build a predictable $10k/month business on that kind of inconsistency.

The real scaling engine—the one that separates the side hustlers from the business owners—is paid Facebook Advertising.

This is how you build a machine that generates a consistent, predictable flow of qualified renters every single day, on autopilot.

This is exactly what we dive deep into in the Accelerator mentorship program.

My team recorded a short video walking you through how this automated renter acquisition system works.

You can see it here:

Establishing a waitlist is so important because you are about to have a lot of business on the table.

There are 4 important pieces you want to capture when anyone inquires about a rental. That's their name, email, phone number & driver license. You can create a form on Google; just simply search on YouTube for how to create a Google Form and create your own. Now you can send this link to your new leads so they can upload all their info.

Even if you do not have any vehicles available. Capture them 4 important pieces. This way you will build a demand.

Anytime you buy a vehicle, you can have it rented in less than 24 hours.

Anytime a vehicle comes back off its rental, you can have it rented in less than 24 hours.

You might be tempted to just use a free Google Form and your cell phone to manage your first leads. It seems easy, but that's the #1 mistake that keeps new car rental entrepreneurs stuck.

Real talk: a Google Form isn't a system. It's a messy spreadsheet. From the very first lead, you'll be losing money.

You'll miss texts while you're at your 9-5, forget to follow up, and look unprofessional. You can't build a real business on a foundation of sticky notes and spreadsheets.

From day one, you need to think like a business owner, and business owners use systems. A real CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system automates the work for you.

In the Accelerator, we give our students the exact management system I use to run my fleet from day one. It's the foundation for scaling to 10+ cars without losing your mind.

I recorded a short video showing you exactly how this CRM works and why it's essential from your very first renter.

You can watch it here:

Every vehicle you rent out to a client before you hand the keys over. Make sure you install Hard Wired GPS Tracker with the kill switch option.

This will allow you to locate your vehicle in real time. So, theft is out of the question because you can kill switch the engine so the vehicle will not move. You can use this command if a renter does not pay, try to steal your vehicle, etc.

For installation, visit your nearest audio store and inquire whether they can install a GPS tracker with a kill switch. Keep in mind that not every location may have the expertise to handle this.

Some companies like Gold Star by Spireon will send a technician out to your house to install the tracker.

For extra security, you can use Life360 Trackers by Tiles. This is similar to AirTags, but they are cheaper and it won't get detected.

In this business you cannot prevent everything, you are running a business. IT'S A RISK. But you want to minimize all risks. This includes not renting to everyone that inquires. I turned down so much money because all business is not good business.

Outside of capturing someone Name, Email, & phone number. I make sure every renter has a valid driver's license. I make them upload a picture of their license on my reservation form. With their license you can use a website called: Intelius.com to run background checks. Or you can go to DMV website and run background checks.

Running background checks, verifying licenses, checking social media—all of this takes time. When you have one or two cars, it's manageable.

But when you're trying to scale to 5, 10, or more vehicles, you can't be spending hours vetting every single lead yourself.

In the 90-Day Accelerator program, we show you how to streamline this entire process.

Having a car rental agreement is the bread and butter in this business. This gives your client a clear understanding of everything when it comes to your vehicle & payment. You can also make money from having this.

For example, if someone smokes in my vehicle, I charge $150, my late fees are $50, so you can make money from having a structured rental agreement. I do not allow out of state driving as well. Again, you want to minimize all risks.

Let's first identify, different types of insurance…

When it comes to the rental car space, for all economy vehicle you could use Roamly & GMI insurance or getaddify used to be Lula insurance before but they recently change their policy where they will not cover your vehicle in case of an accident when is rented, So they are solely used for road compliance.

There are many 3rd party companies you can use, that will cover your vehicle in case of an accident such as: Rentalcover.com or Allianz travel insurance - $20/day covers up to $50k in damage.

Allianz Traveler (All Trip basic) - $138 total for 45 days, covers up to $45k in damage.

Rental Cover - $13.71/day covers up to $35k in damage $0 deductible.

Local insurance broker- Reach out to your local insurance broker & ask them to create you a policy that covers your vehicle in case of an accident.

I personally do this option here: Guide your client to obtain an insurance policy. You can simply go to Geico, The General, or Progressive and have them personally obtain a policy.

All contact information is under their name except for the email and phone number. We want to keep track of the insurance to make sure they are paying it. Also, use the client's credit card to pay for the insurance, which will be deducted from the first week's fee.

I normally have them create their own policy when we meet. use their information on Geico, and all we are using is our email and phone number.

When creating a policy, you will need a new email for each client. You can also have your client create a non-owners insurance policy, but if they want to drive a rideshare they will need the insurance to be registered with the car do non-owner policy wouldn't work here

If the vehicle falls into the mid-tier luxury or exotic category, you should require your client to have insurance that can be transferred to a rental car company. Ensure that the coverage matches the value of your car in the event of an accident. Obtain their policy number, and you're all set.

An alternative for insurance is to utilize the permissible play. This means you legally permit someone to drive your vehicle. Before renting it out to your guest, inform them that you will handle all insurance claims in case of an accident and advise them to simply state to the police that they are a friend of yours.

This must be one of the best plays because this is how I keep my vehicles gone for 30+ days out of the month.

The point is to overdeliver so that your service is desirable.

We'll help you build a business that generates consistent weekly income, runs semi-passively, and gives you the freedom and control to live life on your terms.

Structure your business correctly and protect your assets from day one. Learn LLC setup, insurance, and legal protection—then master the insider strategies to acquire profitable vehicles with cash, credit, or other people's money. Get your first car generating cash flow from week one.

Imagine having an automated system that generates qualified rideshare drivers interested in renting your vehicles.

Because once you get your first renters using our facebook marketplace method, you'll want to Stop chasing renters.

This module gives you the plug-and-play advertising system to attract a consistent stream of qualified, long-term renters automatically.

Turn on the ads and watch the renter leads flow directly into your management system.

This is the same Private Car Rental Management System I personally use to automate my business.

Manage your website, leads, renter communications, contracts, and automated payments from a single dashboard. It's the key to eliminating manual admin work and scaling your business efficiently.

And as part of the mentorship, you'll have it.

This is a complete business command center designed specifically for private car rental operators.

Explore the comprehensive modules of the 90-Day Private Car Rental Mentorship. Each section is designed to guide you step-by-step through building and scaling your business.

Once you have our plug-and-play processes, you know how to find affordable and reliable cars, structure deals, and attract renters on demand.

You have the knowledge and the system.

Spreadsheets. Text messages. Email. Phone calls.

Trying to remember who's supposed to pay this week. Wondering if you missed a follow-up. Losing track of which renters are about to renew.

Spending 10+ hours a week on administrative tasks that don't generate income.

You know the business model works. You've proven it.

But you're trapped in the execution trap — doing everything yourself instead of building systems that work for you.

Let's break down exactly how this management system handles every part of your business — from capturing leads to getting paid automatically.

Once a lead is qualified and ready to move forward, you need to communicate with them. But here's the thing — you shouldn't have to jump between five different apps.

Once a renter is qualified and ready to move forward, you need to send them a contract. This is where most operators waste time.

You don't have to be at a desk to run your business. The System has a full mobile app that gives you complete access to everything:

No matter where you're starting from, there's a proven path to help you launch, automate, and scale your own private car rental business.

You're probably in one of these four starting positions:

Absolutely! In fact, you're perfect for this mentorship. You'll have me personally walking you through what to look for, how to find the right vehicles, and how to get access to cars with little to no money upfront — so you don't have to worry about getting started from scratch. I'll be your safety net as you build confidence and take your first steps the right way.

To make the most of this mentorship, you should be able to dedicate at least 5 hours per week. Remember, I'm personally guiding you through every step — so I'm looking for people who are serious about building a real business. That said, most of our students start while working full-time jobs.

No problem at all! I'll walk you through every single step — from setting up your CRM to automating your bookings. If you can use email and Facebook, you have all the tech skills you need. Plus, I'll personally help you set up all your systems and tools.

With the full system and weekly mentorship, you should have your first car/s up and renting within your first 30 days. Even just 1–2 vehicles running consistently can generate $1,500–$3,000/month in cash flow — giving you real income right out of the gate.

The 90-day program is designed to get you fully set up — with your business structure, systems, marketing, and operations running smoothly. While the mentorship officially ends after 90 days, you'll have the option to continue receiving mentorship, support, and guidance if you'd like to keep growing with us. Many students choose to stay on and scale even further.

While this is extremely unlikely (most students start getting interest within a few days), I'll work closely with you until you've got your first 2 paying renters. My reputation is tied to your success, so I'm committed to making this work.

With just 1 or 2 cars booking at normal rates, you could easily generate $1,500–$3,000/month in revenue. Since I'll be guiding your launch strategy and giving you proven renter-getting tools and strategy, many students make their investment back in 30–60 days or less.

You'll have direct access to me via our private messaging system for urgent questions. Plus, we have weekly strategy calls to address any challenges. You're never alone in this mentorship - your success is my success.

Yes — and not only do I use one, this exact system is included as part of the mentorship. It's one of the biggest reasons my fleet runs so smoothly. With it, we stay on top of clients by sending new agreements every month, collecting weekly payments automatically, managing new renter leads, setting up pickup dates, assigning tasks, and keeping all maintenance and communication organized in one place. It also comes with an integrated website so renters can view your cars and apply directly. If you want to see a quick overview of how the system works, you can watch the demo video or review the overview section here.

Yes — and this website is included as part of the same Private Car Rental Management System you get inside the mentorship. It's fully connected, so renters can view your cars, apply, and enter your pipeline automatically. You just connect your existing domain — or buy a new one directly inside the system — and your website is live and fully integrated. If you want a quick overview of how the system works, you can watch the demo.

Everything is organized inside the Private Car Rental Management System you get in the mentorship. It lets me track clients, leads, and fleet activity in one place. For maintenance and financials, we also use simple spreadsheets that plug into the system — and we show you exactly how to set all of this up so it runs smoothly.

We start with Facebook Marketplace — it works great for your first few cars. But once you want to scale past 2–3 vehicles, you need an automated approach that brings in renter leads every single day. That's where Facebook ads come in. Inside the mentorship, we teach you how to set up and launch our plug-and-play proven ads so you can generate qualified renter leads on autopilot without lifting a finger.

I advertise through Facebook ads, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, Google organic reach, and my integrated website — all of which are part of the system we show you how to use.

Yes — we use a proven process focused on attracting only qualified renters. You'll learn the same system inside the mentorship so you're not dealing with low-quality and low-intent renter leads.

This business will stay strong for at least the next two decades, so we're using it as a cash-flow vehicle to invest into car washes, storage facilities, and real estate. It's one of the fastest ways to generate immediate income.

Yes — we have wholesale contacts, but we still prefer Facebook Marketplace because you can test and inspect cars before buying. We walk you through exactly how to do that safely.

Yes — I work with licensed dealers who can access cheaper cars through dealer auctions, and we guide you on how to use these options if it fits your strategy.

Yes — I have both partners and investors available, and when you're ready, we can help you connect with the right people.

I started in February 2025 and grew to 15 cars quickly by reinvesting income from my job and using the joint-venture method we also teach you.

The model works wherever there's rideshare demand and reasonable insurance rates—which is virtually everywhere. The only city I wouldn't recommend is Detroit because insurance costs are prohibitively high, making the economics unworkable. Everywhere else, we help you identify the best markets within your state and optimize your strategy for your specific location. Your state works. Your market works. We just make sure you're positioned correctly to maximize profits.

I run everything through our Private Car Rental Management System — the same one you receive in the mentorship — plus simple spreadsheets for maintenance and profit tracking.
