The weight of a physical rental desk.
Open a new rental location the traditional way and you're not just renting out cars — you're taking on a lease, fitting out a counter, buying hardware, and staffing a desk. All of that is a fixed cost. It's there on a quiet Tuesday morning with nobody in the queue, and it's there on your busiest day of the year. Either way, it has to be paid before a single vehicle earns you anything.
That's the part of the traditional model that quietly holds rental businesses back. The capital that could be buying your next ten vehicles is instead locked into premises, furniture and equipment that never move an inch.
A rental desk costs the same whether it serves one customer a day or fifty.
