Car Rental Revolution

10/26/2010

PROBLEM: Car rentals cost too much, the selection is too small, and unless you're at an airport in a good size city they are often not conveniently located.

MY SOLUTION:  Sign up every used car dealer in America to a massive rental program.  One company, nationwide, millions of cars in stock.

The majority of stock on a used car lot sits there taking up space, costing, not making money.  Rent it out. 

  • If you put 1000 miles on a new car on your lot it would negatively affect the sales price, but a used car can take that without having to drop the price.
  • It's also an incentive for a used car buyer to 'buy today', because at any minute someone could rent it and drive it one way to Florida.
  • One way trips could be worked out as a sale for wholesale price... or the central system could could notify all dealers in the destination city and they could bid on the sale...
  • Small towns that couldn't support  a car rental would now have one.
  • Potential buyers could rent a vehicle for a week before purchase. The longer you have a vehicle in your driveway, the more likely you are to purchase.

Silence is golden.... until it's not.

PROBLEM: 
Finding a cell phone is difficult when it's in 'silent' mode..

MY SOLUTION: 
Have a simple system in place to remotely turn off the 'silent' mode.  One example would be to call yourself and when the voice mail comes on punch in a 2 digit code.  The voice mail system recognizes this and sends a signal to the phone to make the switch.
