A friend of mine had bought two cars... they were good the first three months. after that,drama started. she managed to get one. the other one,she had to involve Kingori Mwangi's boys to get it!!! Infact,she is selling it off.

I wouldnt touch it with a long long looooooong stick!

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Like Mchuuzi said,car hire makes more sense when you manage the car for yourself and not when its being managed by other people. It's a rather risky business and you must be very careful even when managing the car yourself. I manage mine for myself as well and i must say,the returns are not that bad and i have a solid client base by now after doing it for one year. But even with this,you must be ready for some challenges here and there and you must trend very carefully but it's still better than hiring it out to a firm.

If you ask me i think personally it's a venture like any other with it's share of associated risks just like any other venture...well what determines you surviving is how witty you can get and shrewd you are ....of course you gotta get your fingers burnt...then you learn some more...I've been in this particular industry as a broker you'd say.....though i'm tryna work to get my own fleet...it takes hear Kiki

Keep it positive Irrespective of the situation

@harrydre,Its solely you and the car,so if you give out the car,you have to be on toes coz if something happens the client will definately call you up regardless of the time. At times,there is no steady business for a number of days in a month(like now when the economy is down) so you cannot really put all your financial hopes in the car. Then there is also the risk of hooking up with the wrong middlemen to source clients for you,they tend to bring in all manner of clients to you and insisting they know them well then you learn this were just lies after something has happened to your car! But all in all,if you get clients who want to hire the car on long term basis,it's less strenous and good for the pocket.

Bn following the posts,and askin around.
Weeeell,me thinks one's gotta be carefull,,its a biz that can make and also break one.But its worth coz there is no biashara without risks,,and usually the higher the risk,the higher the returns.

face your fears live your dreams...

@Myks

Every business has its own risks. I think a car hire business would be better if you manage for yourself.
