ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. It is an artificial intelligent (AI) medium that is providing answers to a myriad of questions posted by anyone with access to the AI account. One of the project in the works for KSLG is a budding car rental business. The goal is to grow this business to its maximum potential. With this in mind, we asked ChatGPT the following question. What does one need to do to start a car rental business in a big city like Houston? The following summation are from the AI:

Market

Location

Choose a location: Look for a location that is convenient for your target market. Consider factors such as proximity to airports, train stations, and popular tourist destinations.

Licenses and permits

Obtain the necessary licenses and permits: You will need to obtain a business license, a rental car license, and liability insurance. Make sure to research the requirements and regulations in Houston.

Purchase vs lease

Purchase or lease vehicles: Purchase or lease vehicles that meet the needs of your target market. Consider factors such as fuel efficiency, reliability, and comfort.

Pricing

Set your prices: Determine how much you will charge for renting your vehicles. Research the prices of other rental car companies in Houston and set your prices competitively.
