Cars for short-term rental - how savings turn into costs

Modern car rental services are developing. If previously you could rent a car only for a day, now this can be done even for 5-10 minutes. This is called car sharing. At the beginning of work, these services provided only budget cars. Many parks have different models, there are even sports cars. And drivers, especially young ones, believe advertising. They believe that there is no need to buy and maintain their own car if they can rent it for a short term. Moreover, you can do this at least several times a day. And they promise full insurance.


You just need to understand that no one will work at a loss. Car sharing companies initially protected themselves from excesses. Unfortunately, it is impossible to track the nuances, so due to unscrupulous users of services, innocent people often suffer. For example, a “disenfranchised” person can, if desired, buy a “left” account, commit an accident and run away. Or disassemble the car. And the owner of the data will have to pay. The next point is to inspect the car. Some people don’t bother with this - the car seems to be intact, which means it’s good to go. Moreover, there is no time. But the next user of the service will be attentive. He will notice the dent and report it. And who should I pay? To those who didn't pay attention. These and 18 other ways to “get money” in car sharing will be discussed on the channel “Alexander Shumsky”.
