Hi,
my overseas friend does not like to buy a car, as he feels its super expensive and money could be spent more meaningfully.
he has converted his license to drive in sg.
and he likes to find out if there is renters in sg for sports cars like
:
1. MR-Spyder
2. MX5
3. Miata
4. Copen
5. M3
6. RX8
7. EVO
8. WRX
9. S2000
he likes to rent for only 1 day, eg. Saturday and return on Sunday or for Sunday and return on Monday.
but all normal car renters always tell him at least sat and sunday and charge at $120 a day.
he still cannot find many sports cars renters. He is puzzled why renters all say cannot rent for 1 day only. I mean, its business. 1 day is 1 day revenue. Why they so choosey only like to earn at least 2 days? like a taxi driver asking the passenger who flagged it down, "here is pasir ris, where you going to?" and customer says "tampines" then the taxi driver reject the customer saying too near, cannot earn enough like this and drives off. I mean, if the taxi driver not choosey and picks up this guy, he would at least still earned. Are sg renters too complacent?
weekend always sat + sun one.
weekday then got daily nia.

By the way, the MX-5 IS the Miata.
And most car rental companies do allow u to rent daily on weekdays. Normally, most, if not all, for weekends u have to take the 2-days or 3-days package for the weekends. You probably don't work on Sundays, so why expect car rentals to do so? Car rental people dont need to rest one?
And, their business model has been like this WAYYY before you so kindly 'scrutinized' their business model and found out these 'flaws', so to them, without your business, also no problem. Not happy with min two-day rental? good luck trying to find one that allows 1-day weekend then.
yeah lor.. abudance of people needing a full weekend rental package... even for weddings, luxury cars are rented out as an entire weekend.
