Last time I checked, doing 8 deals also cost you a lot more than doing one in terms of staff time, depreciation, etc...

However given that ERAC always go for sales over financial management ability, I can understand your logic. Which is why Hertz couldn't give a monkeys about ERAC's low rate business. They would rather do one £50 deal that nets them £25 profit, than 10 £8.50 deals that net £20 profit...

Think about that one chump

that's why you look at ways of doing the deals in the most cost effective manner. its not just about sending the cars out and getting them back one by one. perhaps that's why you failed at running a business chump?

Fair enough, if you can turn a decent profit delivering and collecting cars for £8.50 a day then I take my hat off to you. However I remain unconvinced.

last time I checked 85 was greater than 50

And that is how ERAC think. I suggest you read the post again.

10 deals with 4 rental days at £8.50 gives you £340. One deal with a Merc dealership for 10 days (given that Mercedes have serious problems with customer service at the moment) at £50 which the dealer gets reimbursed for so doesn't care whether or not he gives his business to you will bag you £500.

I think you need to learn some basic maths chap.

1 x missing fuel check = £5.00

10 x missing fuel check = £50.00

So really if a car goes out for 1 day you only make £3.50 a day. That won't even cover the electricity to run your shit hole of a branch

A deal at 8.50 gives you the opportuinity to sell upgardes, dw etc (ignore the special instructions). You only have to do this on every deal and you will get close to your break even

Staff cost nothing, so if delivering the car brings your Esqi from a somewaht dis to a neither nr, the customer may come back and rent a 35.25 WES - thats a whole 1.50 increase on the RBS rate - great news.

Everyone knows small cars don`t cost us anything in depreciation, look at your income statement

On 10 small cars, people are much more likely to spot minor damage than onone big car, so thast your unisured losses taken care of

10 small cars also costs less to fill up than big cars, and if people drive an econmic car they alwasy give it back with more petrol - so no probs with your petrol expense

Finally everyone knows that the a/b group renters are 15 times as careful with their cars as anyone who rents a Merc, so you wont have the problem of small cars in shop with damage..

Go and get thats small car business - it makes sense.

Ha, ha, ha. That's genius! And that is why you still work at ERAC with no rewards and long hours and the rest of us have proper lives to live. You go and chase that £8.50/day rate and I'll go to national or hertz to rent a proper car. While I'm at it would you like me to tell Vauxhall that their Grp B rate is vastly over priced and you would like to reduce it to £8.50 + £5 CDW to bring it in-line with your price strategy. Send my regards to your bank manager when he tells you you're bankrupt.

Are you mental? Staff cost nothing? Half of the posts here are about working hours you fool. Obviously another quality ERAC drone.

I can guarantee if a merc deal comes back with less fuel the dealership will cough up. Thei customer service has dropped from the top of the JD survey to ninth from bottom in 7 years. They don't want complaints and will do anything to lessen them.

As for the size of vehicles it doesnt make any difference. yes damage to a Merc/BMW is likely to be more expensive, but it is also more likely not to be on your waiver. Add to that the fact that if there is monr damage you can always get the dealer to take care of it (more honest than blatantly selling DW and jeopordising a national account you tool).

As for 'go and get this business'... this is the entire point. You're out marketing for shit rates when you can be taking the everything the dealer throws at you - that is the ERAC way isnt it? Or are you saying that your staff marketing plans aren't important for their development? In all you have said staff cost nothing and taken away the opportuniy for development to bring in £8.50 rates.

Thats what corporate have done to you and your branch and yet you lap it up.

Just goes to show how some employees have a lack of independent thought
