Anyone advise for being with someone that works for enterprise rent-a-car?

I don't like enterprise rent-a-car as a place to work. I know some friends that have worked there and do work there. I honestly would try to get him to seek other employment. Enterprise does not provide a work-life balance. I am an MBA student and have also studied them. It is just not a place for people with relationships or a real life to work. Mostly young single people work there and then move on....just the nature of the company and it sounds like he might need to move on.\n\nJust a thought, \nI'm Joe

1. Make a budget. I like to use an Excel spreadsheet for this, but you just need to know how much you are willing and able to spend per month including insurance, gas and maintenance (reserve at least $100 ea, $300 total for these per month - more for a gas guzzler or if you have a long commute).\n2.Make an appointment at a local bank or credit union to see how much of a loan you qualify for and see what the monthly payment will be.\n3.Do your research - check the internet for the best deals and reliability ratings, as well as insurance quotes.\n4.Contact the insurer of your choice. You will want to have your agent's name & number at the time of purchase.\n4.Find a reputable dealer. Check with your local better business bureau or get recommendations from a friend. Tell them exactly what you are looking for, but don't appear too eager. Tell them the budget you have set (minus the $300 for maintenance and insurance) and do NOT budge. I did this and it took a while but I stood firm and they finally found me something in my price range. Mine was $300/month, so this shouldn't have been hard, but they will try everything they can to get you to budge an extra $50/month. Stand your ground.\n5.Once you find the one you want, let them know the name and number of your agent. You will need to have insurance before you can drive it off the lot. At least where I live. They will deal with the plates and registration. This is included in the price.\n6.Now be sure to save $100/month for maintenance, even if you don't have any problems. Six months down the road you may have a $600 problem, so it all evens out. It shouuld include oil changes, etc.\n7.Get your oil changed every 5000 miles if it is a little older (before 2000). Every 10000 if it's a newer car. It's best to check your owner's manual for this. Do a 60,000 mile inspection, and get a tune-up once in a while and you'll be in great shape. I learned this the hard way. Maintenance is less costly than an emergency. \nGood luck!

ask him about the company and how it is doing and what his job is about and how hard was it to get that job and education it took to acheive it. personally ask him about his family and where he lives and what his personal intersts are. also talk about any improvements that you would like to see happen with the company  and ask him what he would like to see for improvements. relax and realize he just wants to get to know you as a person and co worker and if he can depend on you to back him up in a bind. relax and be yourself

I used to drive private hire taxi's in Liverpool, for a small family company. They survived against all the bigger companies because they were locals, and generated business on a 'friendship network', and of course by giving a good service.\n\nThe owners went round all of the local (Immediate vicinity) pubs, clubs, restaurants and bars, passing the word that we were not only local, but were cheaper (We weren't, but that didn't mater), so to call us first.\n\nRegarding driver salaries - we paid a fixed amount to the owners per week, to cover car, radio etc (Our 'settle'), and what we made above this was ours. The owners kept this 'settle' low in order that we made enough money whilst the business grew. \n\nI made a reasonable wage, but the only problem was that because the company was so small, the few drivers that we had, needed to work really long hours, otherwise there was not enough coverage and we might lose customers.\n\nThe other good thing was that the office was on a busy high street and a lot of people simply walked in off the street looking for a cab - we got a lot of business that way, so office location is important.\n\nYou will need more than 4 cars though, I think. Ever thought of taxi leasing? There are firms out there that do it - look on the web.\n\nGood luck and hope you make it a success.

They probably don't want to go through the cost of taking your car back, so continue to insist on working out a payment plan with them.  Ask for the supervisor, and whatever you are able to agree on, get it in writing.  If you can't get anywhere with them, however, I would consider getting an attorney or nonprofit debt counselor involved who can negotiate for you.  Daily phone calls are harrassing and can be illegal.

This is a great idea!! Way to go fella!! It is so nice to read of young men (and women) who are enterprising in how to obtain money. I say go for it. \n\nHowever, it may be difficult to find a handy spot to do this in. You will need a spot on a major road where you can get noticed. You will need to approach the property owners of various differant sites which look promising. Don't allow a few no's to get you down. Keep looking and asking untill you get a yes. Don't be afraid of a little rejection. Those who perservere will get ahead much faster and better than those who give up in the face of advercity. \n\nAlso consider the price you will charge. Realize that you may wind up getting paid less than the national minimum wage per hour of work you do. This is due to the fact many people have access to the automated car wash services out there which provides a full wash and vacumn for around $10.00. So, consider offering a lower price in order to attract customers. It needs to be made worthwhile for somebody to chose your service over another. While there are those who will use your service in order to provide teens with the experiance of being in business and learning how to earn money, others will not and in order to get those you will need to provide incentive for them to use your service instead of the one they currently use. \n\nI think this is an exellent way for both of you to make money and learn a lot about the business world. You could even put this on a resume' later in life! Prospective employers like to see inititive in their employees. By showing you started a business which was successfull or even not so successfull you are showing true inititive and spunk!! You are demonstrating even more than that, but it would take too long for me to write it all here. However, you are demonstating an "out of the box" thinking, critical thinking, perserverance, willingness to work hard, a solid work ethic, understanding life does not provide hand outs, and a willingness to go after what you want in a positive and creative way. Plus many other positive things as well. This is all I should really write here.\n\nI am just really thrilled to read of teens who are williing to be creative and take inititive in finding ways of abtaining needed finances, other than just asking parents or doing crime to gain income. Good for the both of you and please do not give up!!\n\nI would wish you luck, but with the attitude you have you really don't need it as you will create your own luck by being so willing to work hard and find ways to acheive your goals.

Call your agent and tell them you need to exclude a driver and they will send you the form which both you and the employee will need to sign (each company has it's own form so I can't just get a generic one for you)\n\nEven more importantly don't let the employee drive for anything that can be construed as company business - no trips to the bank, no driving to drop off a document, no driving to pick up lunch for the rest of the office, etc.\n\nHope this helps!

If you're looking for something a little different, check out\nhttp://www.prepaidlegal.com/go/danhenderson\nMy friend Brian Carruthers operates this business from his home with his wife Haley. He used to work in real estate, but he was frustrated with having no free time. Now he is in control of his schedule and is able to do what he wants, when he wants.\nI have been working at it part time for about a year now, and I can tell you that it is definitely designed for learn-as-you-go.

Have a clean driving history.\n\nNo tickets, no accidents.\n\nBe over age 25.  Have good grades in school if you are a student.\n\nSex, location of where the car is parked and commute miles to work.\n\nThos factors you cannot change.  But they make a huge impact.\n\nShop around. Rates DO vary. Some companies take more higher risk drivers than others. Many will quote online.\n\nRemember its the total price you want, not just an intro cost.\n\nMake sure you can do the upfront costs as well. Some want a full 6 months, others just 1 month in advance.

Tell them you're really interested in the cabin, but you just can't afford that right now.  Ask if there are any "off-peak" weeks when they would be willing to accept a lower price.  Assuming your schedule is flexible, of course...  But that could also open up friendly negotiations for your current schedule, too.\n\nIf they have to choose between negotiating a lower price or getting $0, they will negotiate.  If they have a waiting list for the cabin for the week you want, then you're out of luck!

Get a couple of other opinions...then take the paper work back to the dealerships...OR go back to the pothole that you hit, take a picture of it and take it to the dealership. Don't take No for an answer. For every person that tells you "no", ask to speak to their boss...if someone tries to tell you that they are the highest person you can talk to, they are lying...everyone gets a paycheck from someone...keep pushing the issue. Hopefully, eventually something good will happen. Good Luck!
