107 RULE 2 TAKEAWAY
The Big Takeaway from Rule #2
I treat this like a business and I sleep better at night.
Renting a car to a stranger is stressful enough. Renting my personal car adds a new layer of stress that I am not interested in dealing with.
It is much easier to separate business and personal right from the beginning. Yes, I’m still not happy when someone mistreats my car - but it is much easier to move past a bad incident when the car exists for one reason - to make money.
So, when a car is returned late, damaged, or smoked in - I don’t stress. Why? Because I know I am charging more in fees and I’m here to make money.
