Well duh. Of course it is. Its profitable to all large rental companies. Its profitable for all insurance companies as well. Both rental agencies and insurance agencies have the same system of accurately computing their future losses for the year, the amount of insured, then they tack on the desired profit and distribute to its customers.
When the VP came out to meet with me when I first created Failing Enterprise, he explained to me that "We lose money on CDW". Maybe this isn't true?
