|
Car hire is an integral part of many people's travel plans and is used all
around the world to travel from A to B. whether travelling on business,
journeying with the family or simply on holiday wanting to explore, car hire services are extremely helpful. But where did car hire arise
from? Who was the first to realize the niche in the market supplied by
car hire service? The history of the car hire industry is naturally closely entwined
with the development of the motorcar and automobile industry. While the exact origins of the first car hire company are lost in the mists of the past, many hold the belief that the first car hire company was started by a man named Joe Saunders. His rather small car hire operation started with the Model T Ford, a car that brought automobile transport to the masses. It is believed that Saunders would hire his cars to customers and would charge ten cents a mile for their use. The car hire charges were calculated with the aid of a mileage tracking device. Car hire rather appealing story is that the first car hire renter was a travelling salesman who used Saunders' car to impress a local girl he was taking out for dinner. Whether any truth is in this story is unknown, but it does add an attractive human element to the history of the rental hire. Saunders experienced large levels of success for his car hire company, perhaps becoming the first car hire magnate. By 1925 Saunders had car hire depots in twenty one states across America. The car hire success was short lived however, the Great Depression, a complete collapse of the economy in the United States, led to Saunders' operation struggling to find car hire business. Eventually, rather sadly Saunders went bankrupt shortly after. Saunders however was not the only entrepreneur with the foresight to spot an opportunity in the car hire market. Another American, Walter Jacobs also started a car hire firm renting Model T cars to car hire customers. Jacobs also experienced success although he sold his car hire business to the larger Yellow Cab Company, owned by John Hertz. In turn Hertz was bought out by the automobile giant General Motors, the investment provided by GM ensured the survival of Hertz 's car hire company. Today Hertz car hire is still in existence and the largest car hire company in the world, it distinctive yellow signage recognizable in countries around the globe. After the Second World War the car hire industry as a whole experienced a boom time. This was due to the close relationship between the growth in air travel and rental hire companies. Airlines were increasingly being used for business purposes and hence hire cars were widely being used by these businessmen once they had disembarked from the plane. Hertz were well ahead of the game at this stage, having the foresight to place a car hire desk and depot in Chicago 's Midway Airport in 1932. Hertz was not the only one however, Warren Avis, another car hire entrepreneur almost entirely based his operations within airports anticipating the growth of air travel; mainly due to Avis' car hire experience as an army pilot during the war years. Today Avis is another giant of the rental hire industry, owning other major industry players such as car hire Budget. From this time car hire services have continued to improve, outlets are now present in every major airport in the world, even in minor airports a car hire desk is never far away. Additionally the majority of settlements will also have car hire facilities, servicing the needs of travellers for all manner of reasons. From humble beginnings allowing men to take girls out for the evening to a major car hire industry in the global economy the history of car hire is fascinating. About the Author Industry expert Thomas Pretty looks at the history of the car hire business and its development since that time. |
