Car Rental Interior Cleaning for Car Rental and Truck Rental Agencies for Auto Detailers Car Rental Advice When looking for cheap car rental, do you homework. Call around to as many places as possible and put them off against each other. All mobile car wash companies and auto detailing firms should consider doing business with rental agencies, which rent both cars and trucks. It is fairly easy money and most vehicle rental companies need both the interior and exterior cleaned. Many car rental agencies and corporation have a Rent-A-Truck division to compete with Ryder, Penske and U-Haul. So there is ample work for a mobile car wash company or an auto-detailing firm with companies like Enterprise Rent-A-Car. We have also found that name dropping once you get a rental truck agency account will help you in sales with the Rent-A-Car Division and it will open doors with the Cars Sales Division and vice versa. Most vehicle rental agencies are willing to pay for add-ons to the services you might offer such as Mat Cleaning for an extra $4.00. This is charged to the customer. Mat cleaning is easy even if you do not have a carpet extractor. Many times we will hit the mat in brush stroke rows with 1500 PSI at a distance of 2 feet with a 25 degree nozzle. Then use the claw attachment to vacuum the water. Coffee and Soda stains disappear. Or you can use a little bit of Folex Carpet Sport Remover, by spraying the stained area and repeating the process. Use the claw to vacuum the water up by pushing hard against the carpet in rows mirroring the spray pattern. Folex is a popular brand and can be found at any Janitorial Supply store or catalog. It comes in a pink spray bottle and it only takes a little chemical to do the trick. If you run or own a mobile car wash company and/or an auto detailing firm you might consider this in 2006. Car Rental Advice Typical car insurance policies provide liability coverage that extends to car rentals. If you injure someone in an accident while driving a rental car, your policy will often cover you. Lance Winslow
