Profitable Car-Rental Franchise With Strong Recurring Local Base
Business Description
Turnkey, profitable neighborhood Rent A Wreck franchise serving Greater Erie Pennsylvania near Erie International Airport within a 1.88 acre lot with a 5376 SF transferable leased building. Sale includes the business, operating assets (29+ vehicle fleet and equipment), and franchise right. The operation is well established with multiyear positive EBITDA and Cashflow, strong weekly and monthly demand from tourism, loyal locals, insurance and corporate accounts, with a trained and transferable team in place. Ancillary propane sales add a steady revenue stream, increase weekly foot traffic, and keep the brand top of mind. The fleet mix has shifted toward SUVs over the last three years, improving customer acceptance and daily yield, while an expanded propane program increases weekly foot traffic and brand visibility. Franchisor approval and training apply. Transition support is available. Contact broker for additional information or to schedule a confidential discussion.
Business Highlights:
Multi-year positive EBITDA with consistent gross revenue growth, supporting a strong cash-flow or asset-based valuation.
Strong online reputation and digital presence on key platforms, including a 4.9/5 Google rating and ranking 1–3 for priority searches, underpins pricing power and ongoing lead flow.
29+ vehicles across diversified classes with SUV-heavy fleet mix developed over the last three years that supports higher acceptance and rate realization, notably from insurance, corporate, tourism, and local demand, reinforcing earnings resilience.
Propane program added a sustainable revenue stream that not only increases weekly traffic but also delivers margin upside by focusing on new tank sales with a 24-slot display cage installed two years ago, driving higher turns and capturing return refills.
40+ years in the market with a healthy, repeat customer base and diversified demand channels reduces volatility and risk.
Established franchise brand systems for national reservations combined with proven local lead generation that smooths seasonality, maintains a healthy customer mix and referral source, and tactics that continue to deliver conversions and repeat business month over month.
Franchisor support, approval, and training, plus a transferable team and brand onboarding, enhance operational continuity for a new owner.
National car-rental brand presence near the Greater Erie international airport enhances perceived quality and access to multiple demand sources while the highly visible location with consistent daily traffic and a transferable lease supports long-term stability.
Clear growth potential by expanding corporate accounts and local relationships, optimizing fleet mix with dynamic pricing/yield tools, targeted digital funnel upgrades, and online conversion improvements layered on an already established demand base.
Full Financials and Fleet List are available only with a signed Confidentiality Agreement.
