Startup Idea: Car Rental Security Monitoring Software
I own a car rental company out of New York City. I am relatively new, and have been in business for the last six years. I have a fleet of 10 cars, I mainly rent to taxi and limo companies that need last minute cars, when a fleet car breaks down. I am not a big time company like Enterprise, Avis, or Hertz. The problem that I am having (and is costing me a lot of money), is that some of my customers are crooks. For example, I have a Cadillac Escalade that I rent out, and I have noticed a few weeks later, that a lot of the internal parts were swapped out, and replaced with cheap and aftermarket brands. I have no way of proving which customer did it, as the cars get new renters every other day. I even have had the problem where the dealership told me that my odometer was being tampered with. Basically, I charge money when people go over their milege limit, so they have haves that can roll back the milege. I would like some type of security monitoring or tamper software that would notify me if something was damaged or modified from the car. I would gladly pay for this software, and it would be tax write off for my company.
