On January 27th, Dahe Daily reported on the disappearance of 32 vehicles from a car rental company in Zhengzhou, under the title of “The people of the car rental companies went empty and 32 cars were missing”.

When things just happened, Mr. Car asserted that he had determined the location of his own vehicle and then drove to Pingdingshan Wugang, a remote auto repair shop. When he found his car and was ready to drive back to Zhengzhou, Zhang

Mr. But was beaten by several men who claimed that the vehicle was purchased. After reporting the case, the local police advised Mr. Zhang to report back to Zhengzhou.

At the same time, Mr. Jia also found his own car at Wugang. The other party also claimed to have bought it from the car rental company.

market survey

Last year, Zhengzhou car rental industry exceeded 500 cars "out of control"

"Out of control vehicles": illegal possession, resale, and mortgaged by industry insiders saying that most "uncontrolled vehicles" flow to investment guarantee companies

The reporter visited more than a dozen car rental companies in Zhengzhou. In the past two years, the number of car rental companies in Zhengzhou has surged, but it has encountered a “credit crisis”. Not only are car rental companies running frequently, but also vehicle losses and fraudulent renting are increasing. .

"Every day we have to be careful, a little careless, one year dry." Chen Wuben, marketing manager of Zhengzhou Sihai Car Rental Co., Ltd. said that in the past two years, due to the low threshold and chaotic management, the problem of the car rental industry has become more and more.

In the car rental industry, vehicles that are illegally occupied, resold, or mortgaged by tenants are called "out of control vehicles." Several car rental company owners told reporters that last year's car rental industry in Zhengzhou exceeded 500 vehicles.

From a national point of view, according to statistics from the China Road Transport Association, the proportion of cars “out of control” in the car rental industry is as high as 1%, which is particularly serious in second and third tier cities. This kind of loss caused by "out of control" is hardly affordable for a general car rental company.

According to statistics from several industry insiders, at present, there are more than 1,000 car rental companies in Zhengzhou car rental market. Each year, due to the emergence of “uncontrolled vehicles,” it has closed down.

Mr. Wang, head of Henan Xiantong Automobile Leasing Co., Ltd., said that the company “lost control” of 15 vehicles last year and lost millions of dollars, but due to the large scale of the company, it can still withstand this loss.

So these "runaway" vehicles eventually

Where did you go? Chen Wu Ben said that most of them have flowed to investment guarantee companies. Although there are relevant laws and regulations such as the “Property Law”, non-ownership property owners do not have the right to collateralize goods. However, during the actual operation process, some informal mortgage companies know that they have illegally collected cars, which provides convenience for the tenants to realize the realization of low-priced mortgage vehicles.

According to reports, in general, the deposit for renting a car is 5%-10% of the vehicle's value, and the specific amount depends on the condition of the car. In terms of a Mercedes-Benz S400 sedan, the deposit is about 90,000 yuan, and the actual price is about 1.2 million yuan. The tenant will use the car for mortgage and get at least 400,000 yuan in loans. If 400,000 people get their hands, if the tenants play away, the bad luck can only be a car rental company.

　 Industry trends

Car rental industry greatly reduced "self-driving car rental"

Some intentionally deceiving tenants install GPS "shields" to block tracking signals. Many car rental companies have stepped up their efforts to review tenants. Individual car rentals have become difficult. Some car rental companies also require "guarantors".

“Your car was driven by people?” asked Zhang Feng, owner of a car rental company in Zhengzhou, when asked about it two years ago. At the time, Zhang Feng, who had just started a business, only laughed. He replied: "How could it be, if there were a deposit, a telephone call, or an address, couldn't it still be impossible?"

Two years later, Zhang Feng switched to a courier service, and the car rental company retained only a long-distance bus service. He said that the risk is too high to bear the loss.

Mr. Wang, the person in charge of the car rental car, said with emotion that in recent years, the car rental industry has been booming and springing up. This has inevitably resulted in a large number of disputes. The police often use “economic disputes and cannot intervene” as a reason and will not accept such cases. case. In order to protect the vehicle, car rental companies have installed GPS locators on vehicles, but some tenants who intentionally defrauded rented “masks” to block tracking signals.

After the vehicle disappears, even if it finds a vehicle, the vehicle has changed hands several times. It is complicated to get involved, and it is not useful to return the vehicle to the tongue. As mentioned above, only the fist can be used to resolve the dispute. In July last year, Chen Wuben’s two cars were “out of control”. He had to take people up and down the wall and drive the vehicles back.

In order to reduce the risk, many car rental companies in Zhengzhou have stepped up the tenant's review, and ordinary citizens can hardly even rent cars. Chen Wu Ben said that at present, they have basically stopped the self-driving business. If the tenant comes to rent a car, the driver must be equipped by the car rental company to prevent the vehicle from losing control. Some car rental companies also require a "guarantor."

New Year reminder

The most important thing in renting a car is to choose a company that owns a car.

A company that uses social vehicles to rent cars by way of joining will have an impact on tenants if there is a dispute with the owner.

Cases

More than a dozen Xinyang people car van disappeared overnight

Recently, the Xinyang Police received a report and more than a dozen Xinyang tenants leased a Zhengzhou-licensed car home. Who knows, the vehicle disappeared out of thin air overnight, and later asked the car rental company to learn that the car rental company and the owner had divided In the dispute, the owner of the car no longer cooperates with the car rental company, and he even retires the vehicle at night, which hurt the tenant.

At present, Xinyang police are investigating car rental companies on suspicion of contract fraud.

So how do you avoid encountering "problem vehicles" and "dispute vehicles" when you rent a car? The person in charge of Zhengzhou Xiantong Car Rental will give you three strokes.

1. Look at the qualifications of car rental companies

Including business licenses and company strengths, choose a regular car rental company.

2. To choose a company with its own vehicle, do not choose to join the company

Because the former's vehicles are purchased by the company, disputes do not easily arise, and companies that use social vehicles to rent car hires by way of affiliation will affect the tenant's car once the company has a dispute with the car owner. When a tenant rents a car, he or she can view the column of all persons on the vehicle's driving permit. If the display is the name of a company or company legal representative, it can be concluded as a company-owned vehicle.

3. Seriously look at the lease contract

Clearly agree on the time limit and rent, and find out the countermeasures in the event of an unexpected situation. During the lease period, once there is a dispute, the company should negotiate with the car rental company in accordance with the contract.
