🚗 Hybrid Car Rental Platform

Bridging Enterprise Efficiency with Peer-to-Peer Innovation

Executive Summary

A revolutionary hybrid car rental platform that combines the scalability of traditional franchising (Enterprise model) with the flexibility of peer-to-peer car sharing (Turo model). This creates a unique ecosystem where franchise operators can leverage both owned inventory and community-sourced vehicles, maximizing revenue potential while minimizing capital requirements.

🏙️ Tier 2: City-Level Franchise Apps

Modular applications for franchise operators (e.g., 369er.com) with territory-specific features, local marketing capabilities, and regional customization options.

📍 Tier 3: Location-Based Rental Sites

Individual franchise locations with WordPress-compatible sites, offering seamless booking experience and inventory management at the street level.

🚙 Tier 4: Vehicle Owner Dashboard

Turo-style interface for individual vehicle owners to list, manage, and track their vehicles with flexible storage options (on-site or off-site).
