- Car rental vs. taxi — which is more profitable?
Car rental is becoming more and more popular than taxi!
During the independence,
car rental service on the roads of Ukraine has gained incredible popularity. You can rent a car for personal use for a symbolic sum of 5 euros per day. In the car fleets of large companies there are such elite cars as Ferrari and Porsche.
This is discussed in the story of the 2+2 channel.
By giving his car for long-term repairs, car enthusiast Alexander replaces it with a temporary one. According to the man, 'renting' a car for yourself is no longer a luxury. Moreover, a rented car during business trips or frequent changes of location is cheaper than taxi services. For example, his brand new compact car costs Alexander only 150 hryvnia for one day of use. The man emphasizes that, thanks to favorable rental conditions, he has long since given up on long trips in his personal car - he rents another one for these purposes.
'I never use my car outside my home region. If necessary, I come by train or fly by plane and then rent a vehicle - it is much more profitable this way,' Alexander shares his observations.
Of course, the most popular cars among the guests of our page are mid-range passenger cars. Moreover, it is not necessary to return the car in the same place where you picked it up - it can be returned in any other city.
It is worth noting that: “By calling one day in advance, car rental for several days can cost 46 euros per day, but when renting for more than 7 days, the price will drop by 25%. The most popular models can cost up to 75-80 euros per day. Business and premium class cars for Ukrainians will cost up to 500 euros per day. However, these cars are not very suitable for frequent business trips, but rather for showing yourself in the right light,” says Natalia, a manager of one of the leading car rental companies. 'Such cars are preferred by entrepreneurs and government officials, for example, for traveling to negotiations,' says Sergey, a senior employee of the car rental. Today, more than 100 companies operate in Ukraine, offering their cars to anyone who wants them. The demand for this type of service is growing daily; at the moment, Ukrainians rent more than 40 cars a day.
