Iinkampani eziqeshisa ngeemoto ngokuya zibonelela ngezithuthi eziphezulu

Ukwenza umbono oqinileyo wokuqala kwihlabathi leshishini kunokuthatha ngaphezulu kwesuti yamandla kunye nokubamba isandla ngokuqinileyo. Kule mihla, iisimboli zenqanaba eliphezulu njengeemoto zodidi zifunwa ngabo bafuna ukonyuswa kweprofayile.

Nangona kunjalo, ngelixa iMaserati okanye iLamborghini yobuqu ingenakufikeleleka kubo bonke kodwa eyona ihlawulwa kakhulu, iinkampani ezirentisa iimoto ziye zongeza izithuthi ezikumgangatho ophezulu kumaqashiso azo ukuze zincede abo bafuna i-cachet engaphezulu kumavili abo aqeshiweyo.

Iinkampani zeemoto bezidlala ngeemoto ezikhanyayo iminyaka embalwa ngoku. UHertz waqala ukusungula iNgqokelela yabo yePrestige e-US ngo-2001, evumela abathengi ukuba bakhethe kuluhlu lweemoto ezikwiprofayili ephezulu, njengeMercedes kunye neeBMWs.

Kunyaka ophelileyo, nangona kunjalo, izinto zaba mnandi ngakumbi, xa inkampani yaqala ukubonelela ngohlobo lwezithuthi eziphakamileyo ezihlala zithengisa amanani amathandathu. Iimodeli ezifana neFerrari F430 Spider, Lamborghini Gallardo kunye neBentley Continental GT zaqala ukwenza imbonakalo ecaleni kwerosta eqhelekileyo yeKias kunye neFords.

Iimoto ezikumgangatho ophezulu ziyinxalenye yeHertz's Supercars, eyasungula iqonga layo lokubhukisha iwebhu kunyaka ophelileyo, liyivula e-US, UK, France, Italy, Spain naseNetherlands. Kukho ukufumaneka okulinganiselweyo, kunye neemoto ezingaphantsi kwama-200 ezinikezelwayo zizonke.

U-Hertz waqala ukudlala ngeerenti eziphezulu kwi-2011, xa yongeza i-Lotus Evora kwingqokelela yayo eJamani, eSpain nase-UK kwiindawo nje ezili-15, ingakumbi kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya.

UZoë White, isithethi sakwaHertz uthi: “Besifuna ukulinganisa umdla wokuqesha iimoto zodidi. Abathengi babonakalise uburhalarhume, bekhuthaza uHertz ukuba wongeze iimodeli ezigqwesileyo kwiindawo ezininzi.

I-Enterprise Rent-a-Car yenza umfuniselo ofanayo e-US ngo-2005, xa babephehlelela iNgqokelela yabo yeeMoto ezingaqhelekanga eWest Los Angeles. Akufanele kumangalise ukuba ukurenta kweemoto zefantasy - cinga ukuba u-Aston Martin kunye ne-Bentley eziguquguqukayo - ziya kubonakala zithandwa kwisixeko esidume kakhulu ngomfanekiso.

Amashishini asandula ukwandisa unikezelo lwawo kwezinye iindawo ezili-13 kumazwe amathandathu ase-US. Bakwanazo neemoto eziboniswe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseLos Angeles, apho abanye abathengi baphucula isithuthi sabo kwangoko.

Ukubhukisha kunyukile, ngokutsho kukaSteve Short, usekela mongameli weShishini kuphuhliso lweshishini lolonwabo, kwaye uthi izizathu zokubhukisha isithuthi esinexabiso eliphezulu, esitofotofo zininzi.

“Sinabathengi basekhaya abafuna ukongeza into ekhethekileyo kumsitho omkhulu, abantu abangaphandle kwedolophu abafuna ukonwabela iholide yabo ngokwesitayile kunye nabahambi beshishini abasebenzisa iimoto ukonwabisa abathengi, utshilo uMfutshane.

Nangona le minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo iphawulwe kukudodobala koqoqosho, abanye bakholelwa ukuba ngoku lelona xesha lilungileyo lokugxila ekurenteni iimoto zodidi oluphezulu. NgokukaKay Ceille, umlawuli olawulayo kwi-AvisBudget yase-UK, kungenxa yokuba amaxesha anzima kangangokuba ukurenta kweemoto zodidi kuye kwathandwa kakhulu.

UCeille uthi: “Sifumanise ukuba abantu bafuna ukuqesha iimoto zodidi oluphezulu ukuze babonakale ngathi bazihambela kakuhle. "Bafuna ukugqama phakathi kwesihlwele kwaye bathathelwe ingqalelo ngakumbi."

Ngophando lwayo lwemarike, i-AvisBudget yafumanisa ukuba isiseko sabo sabathengi base-UK sasirenta izithuthi kwi-Prestige Collection kunye ne-Series Series - iinqwelo eziqulethwe kwiimodeli eziphakamileyo ezivela kwiimpawu ezifana ne-Jaguar kunye ne-BMW - ngenjongo yokuchukumisa omnye umntu, phantsi kweemeko zombini kunye neemeko zomntu.

Inkampani iphinde yafumanisa ukuba ngaphezu kwekota yabathengi abaye benza uphando bakhetha ukuphucula phambi kodliwano-ndlebe lomsebenzi.

Ukurenta ezi zithuthi kubiza kakhulu ngokwemigangatho eqhelekileyo: iMercedes SLK Sport inokubiza ngaphezulu kwe-200 yeedola ngosuku, ngelixa iMcLaren MP4-12C inokubiza ngaphezulu kwe-1,300 yeedola. Kodwa xa kuthelekiswa nokuba nenye, yintengiselwano.

Ngesiqhelo, iimoto ezikwimarike ephezulu ziza nezinto ezongeziweyo, njengokuqeshwa komqhubi ophoswe simahla okanye inkonzo yokuhlangana kunye nokubulisa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya. “Kubathengi abafuna incasa yendlela yokuphila yosozigidi, lixabiso lemali,” utshilo uWhite.
