Hourly rate varies based on experience, ability to speak other languages, etc. Nobody cares about their hourly paycheck, though. Like I said earlier, that's just beer money. The company is going to reimburse the cost for me to learn Japanese, so that I can provide better service to those valued customers. ERAC's Japanese customers get to play charades with the MT's and are told sign sign sign initial initial and hope they don't realize you just added full coverage to their rental.
: The biggest difference is that the money I
: make for the company influences my paycheck
: rather than the GM's. I don't know what he
: makes, but he appears to be doing well. He
: even washes, vaccuums and shuttles cars with
: the service agents. The city manager and
: station managers do too. They even pass out
: keys and take damage reports so I can focus
: on renting cars and making commission. Isn't
: that nice? You'll never find my GM at the
: golf course while his employees are lining
: his wallet.

: Mahalo Hekilikoolau for sharing. The
: tuition
: reimbursement is impressive in itself. Do
: you think an MBA will hold as much weight
: and prestige as an ERAC Virtual MBA, LOL?
: I'm just teasing. If you can discuss it,
: what is hourly wage like? How about growth?
: I hope its not just a bunch of titles like
: at ERAC just to make people feel better
: about themselves since they are doing the
: same thing as an MT only with a different
: title from BM and below.

: and enlighten some of your former brothers
: and
: sisters or even a person on the fence about
: seeking employment with ERAC.
:Here ya go!
: Renting cars for a living is no grand
: affair, regardless of which company you work
: for, but you should at least get more than a
: $100 check and dinner for your efforts. We
: have the same benefits - Medical, Dental,
: Vision, Paid Vacation, Referral Bonus,
: Discount Rental for friends and family, etc.
: We are not required to take CDW (LDW) to get
: the discount, but if your friends and family
: upgrade or take coverage, whoever writes the
: ticket gets paid for it. DTG does pre-hire
: and random drug screening, so you don't have
: to work with any moody ice-heads. I consider
: myself to be an average to above average
: salesperson, and I am making about
: $20-$25/hr, writing an average of 30
: contracts per day. Once I get the hang of
: it, that number will increase significantly.
: It's not like I'll be rich enough to retire
: in 6 years on that kind of money, but at
: least it's an honest figure, rather than
: some inflated bullshit number like they
: boast about at ERAC. There are about 10
: people who sell consistently better than I
: who are making $30-$50/hr, writing 40-50
: contracts per day. 3 or 4 of them hit 6
: figures last year and are headed for a
: repeat this year. I'll make as much as a
: GP36 branch manager this year and possibly
: as much as an ARM. The best part is that I
: will only have to work an 8 hour day, 5 days
: a week to get it. I don't know about you,
: but having time to have a life is just as
: valuable to me as money.
: Cash customers - they have to give up their
: first born, so we don't get many of them.
:
: Flat tires and lockouts - for $4.99/day,
: which many people happily pay, we outsource
: someone to unlock your car, jumpstart your
: car, change your flat, bring you gas, etc.
: Just like AAA and I get paid commision for
: it. If the customer does not pay for
: "roadsafe" we send a spare key by
: cab and they pay for the spare key and the
: cab.
:
: Conversions - only 1 that I know of so far,
: and those get handled by a private security
: company, so no late night drive-bys to deal
: with.
:
: Additional drivers - $6/day, and guess what,
: I get paid for those too.
:
: GPS - $60/week, and again, commission.
:
: Full coverage - $53/day, surprise,
: commission.
:
: Upgrades - usually $20-$50/day, more
: commission.
:
: So let's do some math:
: Customer has an FCAR res at say, $35/day for
: 4 days.
: You upgrade them to a MVAR for $40/day.
: They take coverage, let's be realistic and
: say they only take LDW $22/day and SLI at
: $13/day.
: They have an additional driver for $6/day.
:
: 40+22+13+6= $81.00/day x 4 days = $324.00 of
: extra income you earned your company.
: Depending on your yield, you get between
: 3.5-12% of that transaction. You get between
: $11.34 - $38.88 for that transaction. Say
: you write 30 tickets today (conservative
: estimate) and only half of them go this
: well. You just made $170 - $583 today on top
: of your hourly rate. If you can sell you
: will generate $2,000-$4,000/day extra income
: for your company. If you are consistent and
: have a good yield, your commission will be
: 12% of that. You work 20 days a month. At
: the bottom end, your commission is $4,800.
: Several of your peers will make upwards of
: $7,000. This is ON TOP OF your hourly rate,
: which at this point is just "beer
: money" to you.
: I forgot to mention tuition reimbursement. I
: know, I know, that pales in comparison to
: the "virtual MBA" I could have
: gotten from ERAC, but now I can get a real
: MBA and DTG will help me pay for it. Could
: you imagine trying to convince a prospective
: employer that you have a virtual MBA from
: ERAC community college? LMFAO
