Doug Yakel, public information officer for SFO, explained to ABC News that FlightCar does not abide
Go to college, or completely flip the script on the airport car rental military discount airline fares industry? Three teens forward bound to Harvard, military discount airline fares Princeton, and MIT collectively, posed a similar question to themselves last year. College: OUT. A business model rivaling Hertz or Avis: IN. Shoot ahead to the present, and the trio's brain child FlightCar , is fully functioning, expanding, and naturally being sued.
The idea was this: At every major airport, acres of cars sit idle, left parked by owners who have jetted off. Why couldn t these same cars be rented to arriving travelers? Rates could be dramatically cheaper than those charged by traditional car rental companies, since, under this model, the rental company wouldn t have to pay for or maintain the fleet.
Financed by angel investors military discount airline fares and launched in February, military discount airline fares Flightcar began renting cars to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) arrival passengers, military discount airline fares at rates barely over $20 for the day. Since then, co-founders Rajul Zaparde, 18, Shri Graneshram, 19, and Kevin Petrovic, 19 are reporting that 1,400 owners have signed up, and 1,500 rentals have been arranged. On the heels of their success they set up a secondary shop at Boston s Logan Airport, with goals of another location to be set before the year's end.
Doug Yakel, public information officer for SFO, explained to ABC News that FlightCar does not abide by the rules that govern other rental car companies, namely military discount airline fares in their fee to them payment, and they've formally filed complaint with the city attorney.
Essentially they want to define and treat FlightCar the same the other car places by way of wanting FlightCar to pay them 10 percent of their gross profit and a $20 fee for each transaction, same as say Hertz would pay them. They don't think it matters that FlightCar operates from a base outside airport property, SFO has other rental companies do are off property as well. SFO rep Yakel believes that because of the arrangements the other companies made that netted the airport over $2 million military discount airline fares in 2012 fees should include dividends from FlightCar as well. Their secondary complaint includes what they believe military discount airline fares is the "unfair advantage" FlightCar military discount airline fares has over the comparable business saying that FlightCar's presence forces them to charge higher prices to "operate lawfully and fairly.
