There seems to be 3 or 4 of these companies in the US, There web sites are pretty much the same format. I was wondering how many weeks a year do you get rentals (if bro-in-law has 5 vans it must be significant). If you rent 10 weeks/year that is $7000/ year gross, of which and insurance must take a significant bite - but again, how much? My mechanic (peter of volkscafe) says 'you don't want to loan out your vanagon - this is not a dodge van, they are fragile' so we are talking a rental (they don't say "it's a rental" for nothing. I have been thinking about this kind of business myself - but I can't quite talk myself into it. any input/ideas from the GREATer Vanagon society? steve volk santa cruz |
