How We Rank: The ROI Formula
We don't just look at daily rates — a $150/day car with $800/month in costs can be less profitable than a $55/day car with $300/month in costs. Our ranking factors:
- Monthly profit potential (revenue minus ALL costs)
- Purchase price to profit ratio
- Depreciation rate (how fast it loses value)
- Maintenance costs
- Market demand and utilization
