It is hard to disagree that today it is very difficult to live without your own car, especially if you are a resident of a large Polish city. Having a personal car is not a luxury item, as it was decades ago, but a necessity and comfort. Moreover, having a car you can not only move comfortably around the city, but also earn money.
You need a driver's license, an ID and of course a car to work in a taxi. But what if you don't have your own car, but you want to work as a taxi driver? Optima Partner experts decided to tell you more about renting a car, terms and conditions and calculation of rental fees.
What are the types of car rentals available?
Nowadays, it's not rare when a driver works in passenger transportation by renting a car. However, not everyone knows that there are several types of car rental in Poland.
For example, Optima Partner offers two types of rentals: regular and buyback. Let's find out what the difference is and which one you should choose to work in taxi via Uber, Bolt and FreeNow apps.
- Ordinary rental. This type of cooperation is common and familiar to almost all of us. It works like this: a driver chooses a car from the Optima Partner fleet, works on it and pays a certain amount every week for the use of the car.
- Rent a car with buyback. This option is similar to a regular rental, but here, once the person has paid the full amount for the car, it becomes the property of the driver. In other words, you also pay for the car every week, but in the end the car is yours.
A few reasons to choose a rental car with a buyback
Why do the majority of Optima Partner clients prefer to rent a car with buyback? We have prepared the main advantages of this type of cooperation:
- Profitable. You pay for the car like a normal rental, but at the end you get the car in your ownership.
- Comfortable. You don't have to pay the company every week for the use of the car. Optima Partner will automatically deduct the weekly rental amount from the driver's income.
- Minimum down payment. In some cases, the initial payment for the car can be 0 PLN.
As you may have already realized, Optima Partner car rental with buyback from Optima Partner is the best option for working in the taxi industry if you don't have a personal vehicle.
How is the weekly car payment amount calculated?
Obviously, the down payment and weekly rental payment will depend on the car itself. We are talking about the brand, model, its age and other characteristics. For a complete list of available vehicles in the Optima Partner fleet, you can check out our website.
Once you have chosen the right car to lease, you need to decide on the down payment and the number of payments. The initial payment is negotiated with our managers and in some cases may be 0 PLN. Next, the number of payments - here you need to choose the period for which you plan to pay for the whole car. You can choose from 8 to 52 payments.
Based on these information, the approximate amount of the weekly payment for renting a car with buyback is formed. For your convenience, you can use an online calculator to calculate the average payment per week.
