As large rental companies expand customer awareness through diverse
marketing, all quality rental operators benefit. Demand for commercial
RV rentals will continue to accelerate at a faster rate than the supply
of rental RVs. The reason for this phenomenal growth in demand is due to
the Baby Boom Generation.
Affordable Car Rental and Sensible Car Rental provide a full service franchise program at significantly lower cost than most other companies. This, in addition to our franchisee friendly corporate attitude, is one of the reasons why both of our companies have consistently ranked among Entrepreneur Magazine's top 500 franchises each year for more than 20 years. The original founders of Affordable Car Rental and Sensible Car Rental having realized the importance of servicing and maintaining a stable quality insurance program sought out a strategic partnership with one of the largest property & casualty insurance agencies in the country. Today, that partnership is stronger than ever.
