When more cars are needed to meet demand, what should be the first action taken?

When demand for cars increases and more vehicles are needed, contacting local branches and dealerships is typically the most prudent first action. This approach allows for an immediate assessment of available inventory and resources without committing to a financial cost or potential delays that might arise from purchasing new vehicles. By engaging local branches and dealerships, one can quickly gather information about surplus stock or vehicles that may not be in active rental service, thereby expediting the process of obtaining additional cars to meet the demand.

This strategy also opens communication lines for potential collaborations or arrangements that can temporarily increase the available fleet without incurring the long-term commitments associated with purchasing new vehicles. It provides a way to respond to fluctuations in demand effectively and economically while ensuring customer satisfaction.
