Car hire business is risky. Guys dont take care of your car, they just pay for it and by the time its returned, u spend all the cash at the mec and repairs. Also some pple hire ur car and use it for robbery activities or they steal it altogether...
Find a way to deal with those risks

Quite insightful @Imagrace. Interestingly @westkate there's a taxi company I see around town known as Westkate.

Not sure what the problem with transport business is, maybe it's...
a depreciating asset (wear & tear, maintenance)
acquired at a capital cost (bank interest, insurance)
then charged to drivers with a 'matatu culture' (irresponsibility, theft)
driving in a worse environment (police, potholes, accidents)
for a service with numerous alternatives (many players)

@lmagrace, its true what you have said but what do we do and life must go on. every bussiness is taking risk,spend and get loses ,help banks and isurances drivers and fuel statins and making a profit in car bussiness is craxy.and painf ull. however we are dealing with cooperate clients and our termes are tough. like someone to hire a prado from us has to depost 100k refudable and sign the contract. for thieves @muguda we have the techonoly on our hands.
lets have more ideas plz
apprciate.
