Is each of your rental cars really profitable?

How to calculate profit per car — revenue, occupancy and real costs — and what to do with cars that lose money.

Revenue isn't profit

A car that is rented often can still lose money if repairs, insurance and loan payments eat everything. Look at each car separately.

The three numbers to follow

  • Revenue: what customers actually paid for this car.
  • Occupancy: rented days divided by available days.
  • Costs: insurance, tax, maintenance, repairs, loan, cleaning.

What to do with weak cars

  • Lower the price in quiet periods to raise occupancy.
  • Move them to long-term rentals.
  • Sell them before big repairs arrive.
