Every single rental company sells their cars. Some sell to auctions and some sell to private customers. Hertz is one that sells to customers, usually in auctions.
Rental companies sometimes sell their cars to auctions. But, many of the rental companies have jumped on the bandwagon and sell them online and different locations. I do know Thrifty, Enterprise, Budget have a link on their website for car sales..
You can buy insurance from any rental car company in every state. Car insurance companies do not sell special insurance just for rental cars but most policies cover you when you are driving a rental car.
All rental car companies dispose of their rented cars either themselves or through other agents. However most people are cautious about rental cars because they've been driven by people who didn't own them and wouldn't have to pay for damages. Enterprise, Hertz and Avis all sell their own used cars.
Because the people that hire them abuse them. Be wary of buying one.
What I heard is that they don't want to deal with cars older than 3-4 years because they'll have to pay for repairs. Therefore, the only way to always have new cars is to sell the old ones. ** Rental companies must circulate 1-2 years to keep current with what the manufactures make. All rental compaies MUST purchase a certain amount of NEW manufactured cars- there fore they must get rid of the 'older ones' to dealerships to make room for that new stock. To re-coup the purchase costs, the sell the higher miles ones (typically 10-40k miles). (about 50-70% of cars you see at dealerships are purchased rental cars) As for 'not wanting to pay for repairs' .... rental companies DO make repairs. The ones they do not is if the total estimate of the damage exceeds the value of the car. -jsparkles
