Franchise in a nutshell

Basically, franchising for Touring Cars means that we (franchisor) developed a successful business model that we can offer you to take part of in. In a nutshell, franchising occurs when the franchisor is renting out or leasing the rights to its brand and its operating methods to one or more independent franchisees; this would be you. The concept franchisor developed is to be used throughout the entire franchise chain ensuring consistency and economies of scale.

It is all about the concept

A franchise system consists of a franchisor and a number of franchisees. They work together toward common goals but are legally independent. This means that you as a franchisee are responsible for the daily operations of your business and your own results. The franchisor takes care of things like operational support, training, HRM support, consultancy, quality control, marketing strategies, etc.

Could I be a franchise entrepreneur?

Franchise is often better option to start a new business than building it from the ground up. While it can be a perfect option for many people, it may not suit everyone. When considering Touring Cars franchise as a way to your own business, you should ask yourself a few questions from yourself. If your answer to most of the questions here below is yes, then franchise may be a good option for you.

  1. Do I understand the principles of franchising, its opportunities and its challenges?
  2. Is economic security and content of the work more important to me than the ability to run my business as freely as I want, regardless of others?
  3. Am I prepared to pay for the know-how, for tested concept and ability to use an established brand?
  4. Can I commit 100% to a concept developed by someone else?
  5. Do I believe in the concept and am I willing to represent it despite not owning it? Can I accept the fact that my company name is not always clearly visible in the business?
  6. Do I accept that sometimes the chain level decisions do not work perfectly for each entrepreneur and rental station?
  7. Am I okay with someone following what I do and how my business is going as well as giving instructions and setting quality targets?
  8. Am I ready to commit for the long-term?

Business basics

Brand support from a well-known brand with a tested rental concept helps get you up and running. In addition, we offer our help in the process of procuring the fleet. We help you learn how to buy, how to finance, what to buy, how long to hold, and so on. Other services offered by TC have some value to our partners. This may include information about fleet insurance, handling difficult clientele, legalities related to the business, rate management, sales office services, marketing support etc. As a franchisee you will get access to legal documentation such as the rental contracts. Navigating through rental business alone is not an easy task.

Flow of customers

The most appealing reason for becoming a motorhome rental franchisee is the immediate access to an international customer base which will greatly support your local rental business.

We will provide you with access to tour operators, travel agencies, email marketing tools and google search optimization.

Together we are stronger

Our franchise system is a two-way street, our part is to support you as our franchisee, but If one thinks they are an independent businessman by being a franchisee, they are wrong. All franchisees need to conform to the franchisors requirements.

However, if you are looking for something with built-in name recognition, access to rental clients, computer support, global benefits for your local business and a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, then becoming a franchisee is the way to go.

Franchise opportunity

Touring Cars franchise is smart business. Holidaymakers have loads of options when choosing a destination and service provider. Staying on the top requires continuous rental product and process development, as well as system innovation. The Touring Cars rental concept is under constant development keeping it the most advanced rental concept available. Being a Touring Cars Franchisee guarantees that you can benefit from all the latest developments within the rental industry.

Multiple opportunities

While the core of the business stays in high-quality customer service within the rental product, a Touring Cars Franchisee can also benefit from additional sales that support your prior rental business or an entirely independent business as well. In addition, your rental vehicles need washing, cleaning, servicing, and repairing. These services you can also sell to local motorhome owners. We are happy to help with vehicle sales. Alternatively, you can handle the selling yourself or give the vehicles to a commission dealer. 1/3 of rental customers are potential motorhome buyers. Thus, considering the sales side of the business may be worthwhile as well. All these together give superior synergy in the rental business and broaden the consumer base.
