Rent One Online Offers Flexible Membership Options to Vacation Property Managers; Platinum Members of Vacation Rental Travel Network Can Earn 375% Return on Investment Over Five Years

Scotts Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2006

Rent One Online, provider of innovative rental property management and vacation travel solutions, has created a more flexible membership program and announced the results of some recent investment analysis of their revenue sharing business model. Rent One Online now offers two membership levels:


The “Platinum” (revenue sharing) Membership – where vacation property managers, resorts and real estate offices pay a nominal subscription fee of just $ 1 per property per month to use the powerful reservation and property management software. For membership at this level, Rent One Online customers agree to market a range of complementary insurance and travel services to vacation travelers; In turn, Rent One Online shares the referral fees and commissions with its customers. These services include travel insurance, damage deposit waivers, car rentals, airline tickets and activities.

The “Gold” (software only) Membership – where Rent One Online customers pay a substantially higher upfront license fee to use the software and then pay an annual support fee for continued use of the software. In this model, much like the traditional software industry, they have access to world class software, but don’t share in the travel service revenues.

Based on existing customer performance, a five year investment analysis of participation in the Platinum Membership demonstrates that a rental manager with 50 properties would end up only investing $ 8,500 in Rent One Online services over five years while getting actual monetary returns of over $ 40,350, or a net return on investment of 375%. In other words, not only will Rent One Online literally be paying its customers to use its software, but also enable them to provide a level of service to vacation rental travelers that has never been seen in the industry before.

Not surprisingly, the vast majority of Rent One Online customers are opting for the Platinum level, revenue sharing membership. Kris Powers, owner of The Village Realtors in Carlsbad, CA (http://www.villagerealtors.net) is one such customer that sees tremendous value in the partnership with Rent One Online. “I recently left my previous vendor to join Rent One Online’s vacation rental travel network and in an extremely short amount of time they have provided me the opportunity of a lifetime. The web-based software not only satisfies my accounting needs, it has transformed my website into a real time booking portal where I am now able to serve my clients in a manner they were not accustomed to, but I desired.

Rent One Online has also transformed Kris’ business from rental property management to being a full service vacation travel provider. According to Kris, “With relatively little training, I am now able to help my clients’ travel needs by offering travel insurance and rental cars, and in the near future, even more vacation related services. There is no other choice for vacation rental managers as far as I am concerned. The Rent One Online vision is unsurpassed, not to mention that they are very helpful and friendly. I am literally making money using their software and they make me look fantastic from my clients’ point of view.”

Buying a Second-Hand Car Costs the Same as 8 Years Car Club Membership, Including over 1,200 Hours of Driving

Posted on by

(PRWEB) September 16, 2010

Complaints about used cars have increased by a massive 18% in the first half of this year, topping the complaints charts above mobile phones and TVs. Those who buy a car from a private seller have very little protection when things go wrong leaving many motorists out of pocket.

Buying from a dealer does give you greater come-back, but many people are not aware of their rights. Consequently, many people end up forking out for expensive repair bills almost as soon as they’ve got the car home (assuming they made it!).

This repair bill alone would buy you 8.5 years of City Car Club membership! Add to this the average purchase cost of a second-hand vehicle* and this works out at the equivalent of 1,250 hours of driving in a car club car!

The argument for joining a car club instead of purchasing a second-hand car couldn’t be stronger. City Car Club has over 550 brand new cars and vans located in cities right across the UK, parked in reserved on-street parking bays, which can be booked by the hour. All cars in the fleet are brand new, the latest models, and have low mileage. Members simply book online at http://www.citycarclub.co.uk or by phone on 0845 330 1234 and unlock the cars with a membership card. All servicing, MOT, maintenance and cleaning costs are taken care of by City Car Club so members only pay for their car use.

James Finlayson, City Car Club MD, commented “These latest figures from the OFT make for compelling reading. Buying a second-hand car can be a risky business, and it seems that more and more motorists are losing out. The increasing availability of car club cars right across the UK provides a real alternative to those wanting access to a car without the hassle, expense and risk of private car ownership.”

City Car Club has cars and vans across 14 UK cities and a membership base of approaching 20,000. Membership has been increasing at almost 100% year on year and last month saw the club’s greatest number of new members join, These recent figures from the OFT may prompt even more motorists to avoid the second-hand car purchase and opt for car club membership instead, adding to the already soaring number of car club members across the UK.

Westway Auto Body Inc. Celebrates 35 Years of Business

Posted on by


West Allis, WI (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

Dedicated to providing the best auto body service anywhere, Westway Auto Body?s technicians know how to work with their customers as well as how to fix cars. The repair shop has the most advanced equipment to provide the service that today?s cars, SUVs and trucks require.

For example, Westway Auto Body has the state of the art Car-O-Liner unibody frame-straightening equipment and premium quality welders. These technicians, who are specially trained in using the unibody equipment, bring cars, trucks and SUVs back to their original and safe condition after being in an accident.

Unibody construction came into use in the 1970s as a way to make lighter more fuel-efficient vehicles in response to rising gas prices. While they do save on fuel costs, these vehicles are harder to repair after a collision than the older car bodies composed of multiple parts. The Car-O-Liner addresses the complexity of repairing a unibody car, but requires technicians with specialized training to use it.

Westway Auto Body has received the I-Car Gold Class certification, given only to businesses that excel in the vehicle collision industry. The I-Car Professionals? program started in 1990 as a way to recognize only the best auto body repair businesses in the U.S as well as internationally. Maloney?s Westway Auto Body business continues to be honored with this award. It is the highest award available to auto body repair businesses. I-Car holds training sessions to keep its members up-to-date with the newest in technology in car repair.
