A pioneering brand
During the last 30 years the local segment of the car rental marketplace has evolved into the most stable and profitable sector of the industry, while airport based car rental has seen wild fluctuations tied to airline industry trends.
As the first used car rental company in the world, the unique Rent-A-Wreck system and story have been chronicled in hundreds of newspapers and magazines, and have featured on television programs as diverse as NBC News and the Oprah Winfrey Show.
A pioneering brand in neighborhood car rental, our name brings the benefits of national advertising exposure and a strong media presence, bolstered by effective public relations and promotions. In addition, the Rent-A-Wreck website has grown in popularity with bargain travelers and local customers alike, and has become a major source of reservations for our franchisees.

- Rent-A-Wreck is a name people can’t forget. Customers have come to identify Rent-A-Wreck with quality service and safe, clean, and affordable vehicles that offer tremendous value for their rental dollars.
- Rent-A-Wreck locations are easy to find. A local Yellow Pages listing and a nationwide toll-free number instantly connect customers to you.
