How to buy a used car from a rent-a-car fleet
Prejudices about rent-a-car fleet vehicles persist, yet the practice of large markets shows the opposite: fleet vehicles enjoy stable demand there, precisely because of orderly maintenance and a documented history. Below we explain why that is so and how the purchase works in practice.
The advantages of buying from a fleet
The vehicle’s history matters most. To a rent-a-car company a vehicle is a working asset — every breakdown means a direct loss, so servicing is performed at the prescribed intervals, without postponement. The service documentation is kept out of business necessity and is therefore complete. The mileage is recorded through service entries, which makes subsequent alteration impossible. In addition, the vehicle has one owner from first registration, whereas cars from the classifieds often pass through several owners and countries.
What should be said honestly
A fleet vehicle was driven by a number of drivers — that is the nature of the rental business. Precisely for that reason the vehicle is sold only after inspection and preparation, and its condition, including any damage, is stated in the listing itself. What you see in the listing corresponds to what you receive.
The purchase procedure
You browse the offer on the site, send an enquiry directly from the listing or call us, after which we arrange a viewing and test drive in Kaštel Stari near Split. The listed price is the final sale price, and the purchase is completed at the showroom — there is no payment on the site and no hidden steps. The vehicles are at our sales site, so there is no waiting for delivery: the vehicle you view is the vehicle you can collect.
Are rent-a-car fleet vehicles excessively worn?
The vehicles were driven by a number of drivers, but servicing was performed at the prescribed intervals and to the factory schedule — to a fleet a vehicle is a working asset and cannot stand idle in disrepair. You buy a vehicle with a complete service history and documented mileage, prepared for sale.
May I review the vehicle’s service documentation?
You may — the history of each of our vehicles has been known to us from day one, as the vehicle spent its entire working life in our fleet. The documentation is available for your inspection during a viewing.
How quickly can a vehicle be collected?
The vehicles are physically at our sales site in Kaštel Stari — there is no waiting for delivery. A viewing and test drive can be arranged at once, and collection follows once the paperwork is complete.
