A car in Russia, as in the entire civilized world, has long become just a vehicle, necessary tool to solve both personal and business problems. However, unlike other necessary things, such as a mobile gadget, the car is not always at hand, especially in various travels, business trips. To solve this problem, there is an entire car rental industry with a worldwide turnover of billions of dollars.
The concept of creating a business for the provision of car rental services (car rental) is based on the following: fundamental economic and social factors:
- the car rental market in Russia is underestimated in comparison with its analogue in Europe, at least by several dozen times. So, now the car rental market in Russia uses about 50-70 thousand vehicles, while in European countries this figure is about 2 million cars. Those. The growth potential of the car rental market in our country has good prospects, which, in particular, is proved by its expansion rates - 15-20% per year.
- starting from 2014-2015 in Russia, there is a clear tendency of growing interest of Russian citizens and foreign tourists in routes and travel across the vast expanses of the country. This is expressed by a surge in car tourism, both in traditional Russian tourist clusters - capital cities, southern resorts, and in the expansion of the geography of car tourism up to Kamchatka, Chukotka, Yakutia, Primorsky Krai and Sakhalin. This trend has led to the growth of the market for renting special tourist vehicles - primarily SUVs, jeeps, as well as transport for meeting tourists, airport transfers, etc.
- the emergence of new information technologies makes it possible to enter the market for such new formats of providing car rental services as car sharing. This type of service can become not only a competing business for traditional car rentiers, but also part of their business scheme. For example, you can rent a temporarily idle vehicle on a short-term lease basis or open a separate car-sharing business on the existing material base.
To all the above factors, it should also be added that, in addition to the growth of services for renting passenger cars, the fleet of leased special vehicles is growing significantly. automotive engineering- starting from trucks and ending with truck cranes, aerial platforms, excavators and even snow removal, repair, road and municipal equipment.
The payback period is 27 months.

3. Description of the sales market
In order to fully implement the concept and practical design of the car rental business plan, at a minimum, it is necessary to know the main characteristics of the market in which the services will have to be provided.
To such basic characteristics the car rental market in Russia includes the following data types:
1. The volume of the car rental market, its dynamics and regional specifics.
The Russian car rental market dates back to the very beginning of the 2000s.
For more than 15 years, the car rental market has turned from a narrowly segmented niche focused on wealthy clients in Moscow and St. Petersburg into a developed network of specialized service firms, both domestic brands and companies operating under franchise agreements of foreign car rental companies. corporations in many cities of the country.
At the moment, the total volume of the car rental services market is at least $ 150-200 million per year. Moreover, the dynamics of the development of this segment of transport services has been growing over the past few years at a rate of at least 15-20%. These rates are due to the fact that the market still has a small capitalization, and, as experts say, the effect of a low base is affecting. Those. this is a situation when, even in large Russian cities, no more than a dozen rental companies operate, each with a fleet of more than 10-20 cars. The overall assessment of the car park in Russia, working in the field of car rental, is still no more than 50-70 thousand cars, which is ten times less than, for example, in Europe, where the car rental fleet is at least 2 million vehicles.
The specificity of the car rental market in Russia is the fact that the geographical concentration of companies providing such services is mainly concentrated in Moscow and St. Petersburg (almost 70% of the market), as well as in traditional tourist regions - Krasnodar Territory, Sochi, districts adjacent to tourist clusters: Baikal, Altai Territory, Kamchatka, Primorsky Territory. It should be noted here that in the regions where tourism is mainly presented as ecological (natural), the sector of demand for rental services is concentrated on the provision of off-road vehicles for rent - jeeps, as well as car camping services (including rental of motorhomes).
2. Market structure. The structure of the car rental market is based on the main categories of customers. These are people traveling on business trips, tourists, corporate clients. A large share is occupied by customers who do not have their own car at the moment, and tourists.
Since the car rental market in Russia is still underdeveloped, it is highly segmented. Those. there is not yet a sufficient number of strong players capable of somehow structuring and finally shaping the market. In the car rental markets, especially regional ones, there are a large number of small players who either work for a very narrow segment of customers, or provide a car rental service as an additional one (this most of all applies to hotels, tourist centers and campgrounds).
In addition, representative offices of world car rental companies, such as Avis, Herz, Europcar, Rental Cars, Car Booking and others, began to appear in many large cities of Russia. The most popular services are renting a car without a driver for business and personal purposes, including going abroad, as well as renting executive cars with a driver.
It should also be noted here that more and more competition for the standard car rental format is presented by car-sharing companies, which can at the same time be ordinary rental companies that are actively diversifying their business. For example, if we take into account the data of research conducted by analysts at Morgan Stanley Bank, then by 2030 car sharing will occupy at least 25% of the total car rental market.
As illustrative example you can cite statistics for Moscow - more than 280 thousand subscribers have already registered in the Moscow car-sharing system. The number of trips since September 2015 has exceeded 1.3 million. Each rental car is used by 8 customers on average over a period of 24 hours. According to the analytical agency Delimobil, the average journey time is 37 minutes.
Thus, we can conclude that the rental business will gradually shift towards the use of a combined business scheme, both an organic combination of the traditional format of providing a car for rent, and the use of car-sharing schemes for providing services to customers.
It should also be added that the sphere of car rental services in Russia will expand to a large extent due to an increase in the flow of domestic tourism, where auto tourism will take the leading place, combining both the provision of vehicles for rent and hospitality services, escort of groups of tourists guides and instructors.

8. Risk factors
The car rental market in Russia is relatively young, and it is still far from full saturation and the emergence of real major players and fierce competition. However, there are a number of risks that should not be neglected when starting a car rental company. Among such risks, first of all, the following negative factors should be noted:
- market risks associated with such unfavorable economic conditions as a decrease in consumer activity among groups of potential customers, economic crises, a decrease in the flow of tourists both within the country and arriving from other countries. There are few and very limited ways to mitigate such risks. You can use, for example, options for working with a low-budget vehicle fleet, or idle cars can be partially used to provide taxi services;
- competition from new service transport technologies. This is especially true for such formats as car sharing, where the actual distribution of the time of using cars by minutes is taking place. Also, some of the competition falls on such services as Uber or Yandex.Taxi, which to some extent will intercept a part of the car rental company's clients. The only effective measure to counter such risks is targeted work with certain groups of clients, for example, hotel guests, tourist groups, wedding corteges or accompanying various festive or official events (event industry)
- the car rental business is characterized by high capital intensity, the financial threshold for entering it is quite high. In addition, technical maintenance, maintenance of the vehicle fleet, and its legal support(insurance, paying taxes) also costs significant funds (almost 25% of the company's capital turnover). Therefore, there is a risk that with a significant increase in the price of gasoline, spare parts or car insurance, the operating profit of the company may noticeably and instantly decrease. To prevent such risks, one should have a certain financial reserve and make up for the loss of profit in time (without bringing the matter to bankruptcy of the business) until the business and clients adapt to the new economic reality.
In addition to these systemic risks, one should not discount the fact that more serious competitors are already on the horizon - unmanned vehicles and a taxi. And even if this is still a matter of the future, nevertheless, in the future in several years in large cities of Russia, one can expect the appearance of the first companies providing unmanned car rental services using modern information technologies.
Have you decided to start a business and want to earn a little passive income? With a small amount of money, you are considering buying a car and renting the car in a taxi. It cannot be called completely passive - you will need to work and control everything. There are a lot of nuances and pitfalls in such a business. For example, buying just one car and renting it out to just anyone is very risky and dangerous. Below, a business plan has been drawn up that will show whether it is profitable to rent a car for a taxi? Approximate calculations are taken for a city with 1,000,000 inhabitants.
So, to start this business, the first thing we need is cars (10 pieces). Give preference to the Russian car industry or foreign cars? We give preference to budget foreign cars, as in basic trim levels they are equipped with air conditioners, and the clients of taxi companies call just such cars during a hot period of time.
- Buying 10 cars Reno logan, from budget foreign cars, they are not the most whimsical. The chassis of these cars is very strong, many sales representatives ride them. The car must be equipped with air conditioning. 400,000 rubles approximate cost this car, in total 4,000,000 rubles your first investment.
- You definitely need to open an individual entrepreneur in the field of taxi transportation. To do this, go to the tax office, submit an application and pay state fee... Obtain a special permit for taxi transportation for each car from the Ministry of Transport of your region - 33,000 rubles. It takes 30 days to issue permits from the date of application. To do this, you need to send the relevant documents to the Ministry of Transport of your region:
- IP registration certificate;
- TIN certificate;
- copy of the applicant's passport;
- copy of the vehicle registration certificate;
- a copy of the lease agreement or vehicle lease agreement, certified by the applicant, or a copy of a notarized power of attorney for the right to dispose of the vehicle.
- Be sure to think about car insurance, MTPL or Casco? It's up to you. Casco will compensate for any damage, no matter who is to blame, but it is expensive. MTPL is an acceptable option, but risky, you will receive compensation only if your driver is not the culprit of the accident. At the same time, you understand that you need to purchase an unlimited policy. Casco - 70,000-140,000 rubles per year, OSAGO - 25,000 - 35,000 rubles per year (we choose OSAGO). All cars must have special insurance, which says that the car is used in the taxi industry. If you do not take this point into account, then in the event of an accident, you may be left without compensation for damage, and you will be fined one thousand rubles.
- Installation of gas equipment (1 car - 25,000 rubles). Make sure that the gas bottle does not occupy most of the trunk. The total is 250,000 rubles.
Additional options required for work:
- GPS navigator 4,000 rubles / 10pcs / 40,000 rubles
- music, covers, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, emergency sign - 5,000 rubles / 10 pcs. / 50,000 rubles
- video recorder 3,000 rubles / 10 pcs. / 30,000 rubles
- purchase winter tires and disks 120,000 tr. (12,000 - 4 wheels)
Total investment before renting out cars: 4,866,346 rubles.
When everything is ready, the cars are equipped with everything you need, documents are in hand, you need to start earning.
Where to look for a client and how to rent a car?
So, everything is ready for you, and you need drivers to rent them a car for a taxi. You should not advertise in the newspaper and take the car in a taxi to the first oncoming drivers. The first thing you should do is to find out the addresses of taxi companies in your city, which recruit drivers exclusively with their own transport. You will need to agree with the director, the foreman to hand over 10 cars for daily work in a taxi and select the right people for the job. We strongly recommend that you personally attend the casting of drivers, and give preference to people with a driving experience of more than 5-7 years. It is better to hire people aged 40-50 years - they are more accurate drivers according to statistics. Make sure the worker has a local registration. Each car will be operated by 2 people 12 hours a day. approximate cost a car for working in a taxi per day in a city with a population of one million is 1,000 rubles. A driver who will work on a rental car must give you 500 rubles for a 12-hour shift. In this case, all the costs of repairing and maintaining cars that are rented out for taxis are borne by you. We'll talk about this below.
Let's summarize how much profit we get from renting a car in a taxi. Your “dirty profit” per day from one car is 1,000 rubles. But you have to understand that humans are not robots, and cars require maintenance - which is a little downtime. The net profit will be 800 rubles per day, and 24,000 rubles per month from one car. 10 cars - 240,000 rubles.
Not bad, right?
Now we need to talk about the possible risks and dark sides of renting a car. It makes no sense to rent one or two cars for a taxi. Anything can happen to the car: an accident, fraud on the driver's side, breakdowns - your passive income will become a severe headache. And if you have 10-15 cars, then even if something unexpected happens, your business will be profitable.
With each driver, you will have a notarized agreement on renting a car for a taxi. It is advisable that the management of the company in which the drivers will work would help you with this. The driver is solely responsible for external damage to the machine. Your drivers will work in shifts, therefore, it is necessary to draw up a report of acceptance and delivery of a car between them. Another tip that will make your life easier - make an agreement with the taxi driver's foreman so that he monitors the drivers' work process and notifies you on any important matter (of course, for a certain percentage or rate).
If everything is done correctly, then it is profitable to rent a car in a taxi.
Now you need to talk about car repair and maintenance.
Each car will cover 400-500 km per day, taking into account weekends - about 10,000 km per month. It turns out that you need to change the oil every month (oil change is 2,000-2,500 rubles per car). Not cheap, I want to tell you, and therefore you need to find a car service where you, as a corporate client who brings 10 taxi cars for oil change every month, will get a discount for a regular customer. There are others expendable materials that require timely replacement: brake pads, clutch, chassis, etc. You need to conclude an agreement with car warehouses for the sale of spare parts and consumables so that they sell goods at wholesale prices. You should not expect from the drivers the careful operation of the car in a taxi. For a year of work in the taxi industry, the car covers more than 100,000 km. In principle, serious investments will not be required for this period, but further breakdowns will be more and more frequent. In such a situation, many businessmen sell cars for secondary market and buy a batch of new cars. This usually happens after 2 years, when the engine resources are running out. At first glance, it may seem unprofitable, but used cars will be more and more idle for repairs, and this is time and your money.
Approximate calculations of this business for renting a car for a taxi and profit for the year
4 866 346 rubles initial investment this business when buying 10 Reno Logan cars.
Profit from one car, which is rented for a taxi - 24,000 rubles minus 2,500 rubles monthly engine oil change, minus 1,200 brake pads (every 2 months) total 600 rubles per month for pads = 20,900 rubles and deduct transport tax about 90 rubles. Net income from one car will be 20,810 rubles.
Conditionally we consider that all organizational measures took us 2 months, so the machines worked for 10 months and earned 2,081,000 rubles. For a year you can already earn 2,497,200 rubles. Taking into account how much was invested, it did not pay off, but you have cars that can be profitably sold for about 300,000 rubles apiece, if you do pre-sale preparation... It turns out that you can earn about 2.5 million rubles per year. and return 3 million rubles. from the sale of cars. The approximate net profit will be 630,854 rubles. Then you can also buy a batch of new cars and it is just as profitable to take them in a taxi. As practice shows, cars that are rented in a taxi serve for two years with timely maintenance, then it is not profitable to maintain and maintain them.
Small conclusion
Renting a car for a taxi is profitable business if all the details are thought out carefully and a lot of money is invested. Usually, people who have worked in the taxi industry for more than one year (driver, manager, foreman, mechanic) and understand all the nuances are engaged in this business. Owners of car services, auto shops, small taxi firms will feel great in the business of renting a car for a taxi.
For beginners in this field, it will not be sweet, especially if you are investing the last money. You must understand that renting a car for a taxi is not renting out real estate, anything can happen to transport (traffic accident, theft, fraud, driver's misconduct, natural disaster). For you, this should all be production costs.
It is better to lease cars for taxis to family people, drivers who have children, they will need this job, and they will drive more accurately. Change all consumables on time, do not let things take their course. Almost everything needs to be controlled by yourself. Drive off cars as often as possible to adjust the camber. Large taxi companies purchase cars on lease, it is very profitable, but only available to large businessmen with a good reputation. You have an individual entrepreneur, so any goods that will be needed for cars, purchase in warehouses at wholesale prices. Every month when a vehicle is idle, do a personal test drive to determine the condition of the suspension. Remember, in this business you need to save on everything you can. The business of renting a car for a taxi is in demand, many people do not have the opportunity to buy new car, and they willingly use the opportunity to rent it to work in a taxi.
Good luck in business!
How to open your own business so that it brings a stable income? First of all, it is necessary to study the needs of the market and the demand for a particular service or product. If you live in a resort area or in your city there are historical sites, business centers that attract tourists and business travelers, then it is worth considering options for opening a car rental, properly organizing an enterprise so that it becomes profitable.
Where to start your business?
The demand for car rental is explained by the fact that in this way visitors can save on taxis and get freedom of movement. According to statistics, the majority of consumers (seventy percent) are people who have arrived from other cities or countries, and 30% are locals. The service is very popular, especially in summer.
At the beginning of the activity, a car rental business plan is developed, it must take into account the experience of such organizations, their advantages and disadvantages. After that, your own business must be formalized as entity... A suitable form is a limited liability company. Further - registration with the tax authorities. Then you need to choose and rent a room where the office of the company, garage and parking will be located.
Financial expenses
The cost of registering a company is two hundred and fifty dollars, for renting an office you will have to pay an amount from six hundred to seven hundred dollars. Cash investments will be required for the purchase of a car park and garage premises. In addition, all vehicles must be insured (for example, in case of an accident).
It is necessary that the car rental business plan includes the organization of its own repair base for the depreciation of equipment. You will definitely have to pay taxes, pay salaries to employees. In total, expenses can be one and a half percent of the total income. You can apply for a bank loan as a start-up capital when starting a business. The main costs of starting a business include investments in advertising.
You need to start promoting a company at the same time as its registration, so that by the time it starts operating, you have a potential client base. Information can be placed in newspapers where free classifieds are published, on Internet sites, on television. Visual advertising on city streets also helps to attract customers. Investments in the promotion of a business can be about three thousand dollars.
Unforeseen expenses are also included in the car rental business plan. These include, for example, equipping vehicles with satellite systems that track their location. You can organize the business in another way - to purchase a franchise. Then you don't need to promote the project. After all, you will be working under the name of an already well-known company.
But for the right to use its name, you will have to pay a large sum, it can range from eight hundred and ten to one million two hundred and twenty thousand rubles. In addition, such an approach will deprive you of the opportunity to act the way you want it, and you will need to obey corporate rules. For using the brand, you will have to pay ten percent of the profit every month.
Car purchase
A car rental business plan necessarily involves the purchase of cars. There should be from ten to thirty, and about half of the total are foreign cars belonging to the "economy" class. The rest are domestic models. Foreign-made cars can be purchased for one hundred thirty to one hundred and forty thousand dollars.
The purchase of models of the domestic auto industry will require fifty thousand dollars in American currency. If you buy used cars from hands, then the amount will decrease even more. You can keep within twenty thousand dollars. But a significant disadvantage - in this case, you will need overhaul Vehicle.
Services
The cost of car rental is formed in accordance with their class and brand. To make your car rental profitable, a business plan may include the following rates. The provision of a Zhiguli for temporary use will amount to nine hundred and fifty rubles per day.
For a foreign economy class car, customers will pay from 1400 to 1560 rubles, and a representative class - from 1800 to 2650 rubles for twenty-four hours. Consumers can be attracted by the system of discounts. If the client does not want to drive the car himself, he can hire a professional chauffeur in your company. Most often, this service is offered if the client hires a luxury car, a foreign car.
Staff recruitment
Undoubtedly, car rental as a business is very attractive for an entrepreneur. As in any other organization, the hiring of the firm's staff will be required. It will consist of several people.
You will need an administrator, accountant, driver, technician and security specialist. The last employee is responsible for all issues related to insurance, he contacts the insurance company, resolves disputes that arise, coordinates rental applications.
At the beginning of the existence of the rental company, such a specialist can be attracted from the outside, and not hired on a permanent basis. The duties of the technician include the issuance of machines, their Maintenance and service.
Payback of the enterprise
It is quite simple to calculate the profitability of a car rental. We must proceed from the workload of one machine. If this figure is seventy-five percent, then the profit for the operation of ten cars per month will be four hundred and twenty thousand rubles. From this amount, taxes and salaries are paid to employees, as well as Maintenance machines and possible unforeseen expenses.
Net income from the enterprise will be three thousand dollars a month or a little more. With the right organization, car rental can bring a stable income. The business will turn into a successful enterprise, it will be possible to expand it and acquire a larger fleet of cars. The business will pay off in about a year or two.
Renting a car for traveling or going out of town is a common thing for a foreigner. In Russia, however, it is not as familiar to an ordinary citizen as abroad. Although there are many car rental services in Moscow. Sometimes it is much cheaper than going somewhere by taxi. Mastering this niche is undoubtedly profitable, but a car rental business plan with calculations is the first thing to do for a new venture to be successful. Without this document, starting a business on a car will not work.
How profitable is it to rent a car?
Any new venture is a risk. And in the car rental business, the risk is slightly higher than usual. Because Russia in this area is not as developed as foreign states. This is due to the banal ignorance of the common people of the existence of such a service. Therefore, it is impossible to "see" all the benefits of being able to go somewhere not by bus, but by car. Advertising is necessary for good promotion - a common man in the street should know that if you have the rights and the impossibility to buy a car right now, you can just rent it.
Before "thinking" about how to open a car rental from scratch, it is necessary to assess the demand for this service. Car rental clients are:
- People who just have their own car, but it, for example, is being repaired. It's already hard for them to "change" to public transport so it is easier to rent a car and not change your habits.
- People who just want to go out of town or take a short trip around the country, but do not have their own car.
- Entrepreneurs who do not own a VIP class car but need to impress potential partners. Everything is important for signing the contract - appearance and a meeting of a business person in a respectable car. The rent of such a car is often used by young men caring for girls and wanting to drive them in a good car.
- People who rent a car for a long time for any need.
It turns out that there is a client. But the car fleet must have cars different classes- from an economical option to a representative one. Anyone with substantial start-up capital can include a chauffeur-driven limousine rental service. It is better to pay for such a car hourly, because it is usually rented for special occasions (weddings, funerals), and not for the whole day. So the circle of clients becomes even wider.
The costs of opening and maintaining a car rental
A car rental business plan with calculations, first of all, assumes the availability of start-up capital, which is enough for the following table of expenses:
| Consumption | Approximate amount | A comment |
| Registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC for self-reporting in entrepreneurial activities. | 10,000-15,000 rubles | The amount will be an order of magnitude higher if you transfer legal and tax affairs to a specialized company. |
| Rent of a place for a car park. | 20,000-60,000 rubles | When about 2,000 rubles will be spent on one car per month. |
| Office space for rent | 50,000 rubles | The amount depends on many factors (size, location, facilities, equipment). |
| Remuneration of personnel | 100,000-120,000 rubles | This is an administrator, accountant, manager, technician in charge of issuing and receiving cars, a security guard and payroll taxes. |
| Car purchase | 3-5 million rubles | Assuming that there are 5 economy class cars, 5 middle class cars, 5 business class cars. |
Regarding the last point, you can lease cars, but it will be much more expensive, which will reduce the monthly profit by a tangible amount. Leasing purchases simplify the filling of the vehicle fleet, but are convenient for those entrepreneurs whose business will immediately begin to generate income. Because it will be necessary to make monthly lease payments. Leasing term - 2.5 years. After this time, the car is redeemed and becomes the property of the vehicle fleet or returns to the company that provided it.
Calculation of the approximate profit from the car fleet
For the convenience of the calculation, it is better to take into account the minimum values:
- To make a business not look like an office offering any kind of cars, you need to have at least 20-30 cars in stock. The auto industry should be both domestic and foreign.
- On average, one car rental will be equal to 700 rubles per day. Lada classic models are cheaper, foreign cars are more expensive.
- Then the monthly turnover of funds will be 300-400 thousand rubles.
- From it you will have to withhold money for staff salaries, tax deductions, car repairs (depreciation) and other expenses.
- The net profit will be 30-50 thousand rubles.
A more significant profit can be obtained only with a proportional increase in the number of cars and if there is a demand for them.
Risks when organizing car rental
Everything related to the interaction of a car with a person sometimes encounters accidents on the roads. Therefore, you should not give out cars to everyone. Upon issue, the driver must meet certain criteria. For example, age is over 21 years old and experience is more than 3 years. It is better not to give out a business class car to those who have been previously convicted. You can think of any number of such restrictions. The main thing is that they do not greatly reduce the number of potential customers.
The average number of accidents out of 100 orders is 5. You also need to be prepared for the fact that the car can simply be stolen. Out of 500 cars, 15-20 will surely fail and “require” investments for repairs. If the responsibility for the accident does not have to be borne (by virtue of the legislation), then the time during which the machine cannot be used (restoration) will become unprofitable.
There are several options for protecting your business from the risks described above:
- all cars must be insured;
- the client pays a deposit, which is returned to him in the absence of an emergency situation or when he was not the culprit;
- you need to set a limit on the daily mileage, for example, no more than 200 kilometers;
- for a successful start, a prerequisite is drawing up a business plan, an example of which can be downloaded below;
- an advertising campaign should be started immediately after registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC, and it is better to entrust this business to specialists.
So, starting a car rental business is an event that requires a decent start-up capital and knowledge of how things work. Firstly, you will have to settle all the paperwork - registration of the organization, the lease agreement for a suitable room. Secondly, it is necessary to fill the vehicle fleet with at least 30 cars (purchase, leasing). This is the biggest expense. Thirdly, it is worth organizing a well-coordinated process of issuing a car for rent (checking the client's documents, drawing up a contract with him, discussing all the nuances). Fourth, it is necessary to maintain a car fleet - to give staff wages, pay rent, repair cars and endure other costs.
This is the only way to get a profitable business that brings positive and tangible profits. Any auto business is risky but rewarding. And in order to avoid possible risks or at least reduce them, it is necessary to think over the correct contract with the client and issue a car after the person meets all the requirements stated for him.
