Rent-A-Wreck has been a pioneering brand in the car rental industry since 1973. We were the first company to specialize in used car rental and one of the first neighborhood car rental companies operated primarily off airport. For over 30 years we have maintained our reputation as a friendly, high-value vehicle rental company, with 54% name recognition in the United States according to a 2006 study conducted by national market research firm OpinionWorks. Rent-A-Wreck is the established value leader in the vehicle rental business.

Rent-A-Wreck is excited to offer a near turn-key franchise opportunity. We provide our franchise owners with everything they need to reach their full potential, including an extensive week-long training program for our franchise owners and up to two managers. Our team of experienced operations personnel will train your team in the operational, business and management aspects of running a successful Rent-A-Wreck vehicle rental operation.

Don't Let the Name Fool YouTM

There are no wrecks in our fleet, despite what our unique and humorous name may seem to imply. The unique Rent-A-Wreck business model allows you to offer a full menu of vehicle rental options for maximum customer procurement, rather than a limited niche market. You benefit from a management team where concept, methods and system have been perfected over the last 30 years. By learning a system that has been tested, you will reduce your own learning curve and reduce costly mistakes.

A Rent-A-Wreck franchise can work as both an add-on business or a stand alone operation. Franchise owners are responsible for recruiting and training employees, as well as accounting, payroll, and the over all management of the business. Performance, customer satisfaction, quality and professional skill levels are monitored through a series of location visits and training seminars.
