Clean Cars, Lasting Impressions
In vehicle rental, the condition of the vehicle is the best advertisement that can be made. Every customer wants to see cars that are clean, new, and professional from the first second. A single dirty vehicle can ruin trust and foster disdain, without any chances for the company to regain the customer’s trust. That is why cleanliness in rental fleets is not cosmetic, it is a key factor in generating customer loyalty and providing for long-term success.
The problem for Traditional Washing
For most operators except a few, vehicle cleanliness is a logistical issue. Cars end up in off-site wash bays, which implies:
- Time is squandered in having people travel between sites instead of servicing customers.
- The turnover times decrease, leaving fewer available vehicles for new renters.
- These expenses increase with spent labor, water, and fuel.
At peak periods, such inefficiencies result in bottlenecks which hinder service providers in coping with increased customer demand.
The SpeedBuddy Solution
