BE THE BOSS - Explore franchise opportunities with Eurodrive Vehicle Rental.

Is there an entrepreneur inside of you just waiting for the right opportunity? Don't wait for fortune to fall in your lap - take decisive action and see how franchising can be the answer to becoming your own successful boss.

Think about franchising - a new franchise opens somewhere in the world every six and a half minutes. Franchisees currently account for more than 50% of retail sales and are in line to become the most dominant form of retailing in most of the developed countries around the world.

Franchise ownership gives those people who have no, or limited, experience of running their own business the chance to operate and own a successful company through a structured and proven business system that allows individuals to fasttrack their own route to success, avoiding many of the pitfalls and risks associated to starting a new business venture.

Vehicle rental franchising - the UK vehicle rental industry has been in steady growth with an estimated worth of in excess of $1.42 billion with an anticipated rise of a further 16.7% throughout 2008 increasing to $1.67 billion.

The market is made up of five main sectors - retail/leisure hire, replacement/bodyshop vehicles, corporate hire, credit and holiday hire with substantial growth being seen in all areas.

Currently the industry is divided by a mixture of multi-national vehicle rental companies and smaller independent operators. The strength of the multi-nationals, including such names as Avis, National, Europcar and Hertz is the integrity of their brand while the independents succeed on service levels and flexibility.

From studying the market it is clear to see that both multi-national vehicle rental organisations and the independents have good product offerings but neither segment truly delivers, with the multi-nationals offering strength of brand and the independents offering strength of personal/localised service - a clear gap in the market is evident.

The Concept - "Simple" We at Eurodrive Vehicle Rental work on a franchised development model. The aim is to create a highly branded vehicle rental system following on from the successes of many of the global players with each location being owned and operated by like-minded entrepreneurial business people focused on delivering the highest levels of personal and local service.

We believe it important to ensure that Eurodrive can provide a true franchise system that genuinely took care of, guided, helped and motivated its network and in turn its franchisees would take care of, help, guide and provide the highest levels of service for its customers.

Eurodrive Vehicle Rental now operates branches throughout the United Kingdom with further operations in the Republic of Ireland and Dubai. In addition, the company has also built up an extensive network of agents for its worldwide holiday and corporate hire service providing vehicle rental at over 3500 destinations.
