Sounds like a great idea Route 1A through Rye, NH is one of my favorite roads in New England. Best of luck with your new venture.

Congratulations on starting a business! I'm sure you know it's quite stressful and many don't get as far as you two have come!

If I may add my 2 cents, at those prices it would be hard to compete with the established rental companies. You've got have a value segment to out bid the others and since its neither the history (been around a short time it looks like), nor the selection, you could re-evaluate your business model.

Good luck!

And/or offer something others don't. Not sure any Alfa 4Cs have made it to rental fleets yet. If you somehow grab one of those, you have something unique. Cayman GT4, even the new Z06, Hellcat, etc.

You could also eventually look into events with the cars. Some of the rental companies in NJ host track days, rallies, and other gatherings.
