Is it really possible to steal a rented car?

The demand for car rental is gradually increasing and, at the same time, the attention of law-abiding citizens to this industry is becoming more active. There are cases when rented cars are listed as stolen or are rented out with forged documents. Since June of this year, the demand for temporary use cars has increased by almost a quarter. Among the clients are both citizens of Ukraine and residents of other countries. Along with the increase in the number of fraudsters, large companies specializing in car rental have thought about the security of their business. The creation of security services is a standard procedure for self-defense of entrepreneurs. The list of their responsibilities includes: a thorough check of clients for criminal records, risk assessment when renting a car to unknown people and foreigners. The simplest scheme for stealing a car from a rental company looks like this:
  1. The criminals allocate money for rent and a deposit to their accomplice.
  2. The accomplice takes the car from the fleet and hands it over to a third party.
  3. The client's contact disappears, the car is driven abroad.
Another way is to resell vehicles using forged documents. This is a more complex plan, since it requires the participation of a notary, but some unscrupulous lawyers agree to a deal for 500-1000 dollars. This is why rental companies tighten the procedure for registering a car to a new client and complicate the rules for using the vehicle. The most popular types of cars at the moment are: The prices for modern cars are as follows: The average rental period is 3 days.

Private car rental: benefits and features

In addition to large companies, car rental is also done by private individuals. This trend came to our country from America, where collectors and simply owners of rare and popular cars thus receive an additional source of income. Such vehicles, depending on the model and condition, can cost customers from 5 dollars per day (economy class models) to several hundred dollars for rare examples of classic Soviet and modern foreign cars. The purpose of rental is business trips, holidays, excursions, and sometimes work. So, buying a car for 150 hryvnia per day, a client can earn up to 500 UAH. as a taxi driver. Which is prohibited by almost all car rental services. The main advantage of private owners is a low price and low requirements for the renter.It is not uncommon for a car to be rented for more than 30 days, which brings the owner a stable income of 3,000 hryvnia per month. Enterprising citizens have managed to make a small business out of this. Renting out 2-4 business or economy class cars as taxis (Lanos, Zhiguli, cheap foreign cars) brings a stable income of up to 2 thousand hryvnia per day. However, there are many pitfalls - the lack of guarantees and the high risk of damaging the car can affect the overall profit. Therefore, for these purposes, mass-produced cars are best suited, for which it is easy to find parts and spare parts, the repair of which at a service station will be cheap, will be carried out in a short time.

Motorcycle rental - a new word in the transport rental business

A motorcycle is a more convenient means of transportation for the city, which requires less fuel and has greater maneuverability compared to a full-fledged car. Therefore, in Ukraine, the rental of two-wheeled vehicles is becoming increasingly popular. Its cost is significantly higher, this is explained by higher demands on driver control and a higher percentage of accidents on the roads, compared to cars.
