Avis found a loophole for selling used cars at whatever price he wanted. This became the norm for all rental companies. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ECO Office Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young, here alongside Stephen Semple. And again, breaking from tradition, if you listen to the episode just before this, which is the Hertz Rental Car, you realize that we have a spoiler. Stephen told me the topic of this podcast, gosh, a whole podcast ago. Stephen Semple: That's it. Dave Young: We talked about Hertz Rental cars, and now we're going to tell the story of Avis, number two, but they try harder. Stephen Semple: If you haven't listened to Hertz, I recommend go back and listen to it because these two stories kind of tie together. And it is interesting. We think about Avis as number two. They're not number two any longer. They're now number three. It's now Enterprise, Hertz, Avis. But that's a whole different thing. Avis is still... Look, it's a massive business. They have 5,500 locations. They do 5 billion in sales. They're a big deal. And they were founded by Warren Avis in Detroit in 1946. So just shortly after the end of World War II. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So the war's over. Troops are returning home. Cars are now being produced for the domestic market. Because, if you remember, one of the things we talked about in the last episode was you could not sell a car domestically. All car production was going into the war effort. We've got people returning home. Roads are being built. The suburbs are the place to be. Cars are now being produced for the domestic market, and sales are exploding for cars. It's going crazy. And so Warren decides to open a Ford dealership. He sinks 10 grand of his own money in. He gets a $75,000 loan. But there's one problem with being a new car dealer at this time. The federal government puts a cap on what you can charge for a car. So there's price controls on cars. So it's actually hard to make a living selling new cars because the margin is really thin, even though lots of people want to buy it. Dave Young: If you're renting cars, you're selling them over and over and over almost. Stephen Semple: Well, you're really close. Warren finds a loophole that you can hold onto a car for six months, and then sell it as a used car, no restriction. So this is what he starts doing. However, this creates an expensive inventory problem. So it's hard to do and hard to grow because he's holding onto the cars for six months. Around this time, Warren Avis rents a car from Hertz. Now, if you remember in the Hertz episode, while Hertz did amazingly well during the war because you couldn't get a car and they had cars for rent, at the same time they couldn't replace their cars. So the cars by this time were pretty rough. Dave Young: Yeah. Oh, I bet. I mean, usually rental cars now, you don't have to have very many miles on them to have them be a little rough. Stephen Semple: And Hertz was also in what was now becoming poor locations because Hertz had located in downtown locations, and now people are moving out to the suburbs. So it was out of the way, kind of a crappy car. So Avis decides to take his new cars that he has on the lot, rent them, and then sell them as used at the six-month mark, which means he would always have new cars for rent. Dave Young: Yeah, this is the business model they're all in now. Stephen Semple: Yes.

Walter Jacobs was an automotive geek. From the assembly line to owning a Ford dealership to Rental Car King. Walter built and Empire. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Simple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is ... Well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. We're talking about big businesses that started out as usually smaller businesses. None of them ever start big, Stephen, when are we going to talk about businesses that just started huge? Stephen Semple: I don't know that they're as interesting, Dave Young: But today we're talking about Hertz Rental Car. Stephen Semple: Yes. Hertz Rental Car. Dave Young: And in my mind, they've always been the big one. They're the big guy. They're the top dog. Stephen Semple: Well, actually in the market today they're number two. Enterprise is the largest one, and they're number two, and then Avis is number three. Dave Young: But the Enterprise combined ... They conglomerated a bunch of them, right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. And there's even a few that are under Hertz as well these days. None of them are just one banner anymore. Dave Young: Yeah. Everything's becoming one brand. Stephen Semple: They're big. They do over nine billion in revenues in 160 countries, and they're part of the S&P 600. So they're a big deal. Dave Young: They've been big for a while. Stephen Semple: They've been big for a long time. Dave Young: I remember when Avis started, this was back in the Mad Men era. The big idea, the big advertising slogan for Avis was, "We're number two, but we try harder." So at that point, Hertz was number one. Stephen Semple: Yeah. We'll find out as we go into the story, Hertz was the first national brand as well. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So they really, and in many ways, kind of created the car rental business as we know it today. Dave Young: Awesome. Stephen Semple: They were founded by Walter Jacobs in 1918 in Chicago. And as I was saying, today they do like nine billion in revenue. So it's 1918 in Chicago, and the Model T Ford has been out for 10 years. There's about six million cars on the road, which is about 60 cars per 1000 people in the United States at that time. So they're pretty new, but you'll see a car. They're not foreign, but they're not new. It's kind of at that stage where you'll see them. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: So now back to Walter Jacobs. Walter's this real car junkie, and he had started out actually working on an assembly line, and now he owns a Ford car dealership. He really sees cars as the future. And when he opens the dealership, he has some sales success, but he runs into a problem. Lots of people are coming in to test drive a car, but they really still see them as a novelty. So if you think about it, there's no driver's license. Vehicles are standard, they're not automatic. And he would take people out for this test drive and it's kind of exciting, and it's a thrill, but what he's finding is that people are coming to do these test drives for the thrill. They're not really buying, to the stage where people come back and offer him money to take the test drive. Dave Young: Do another test drive. Stephen Semple: It was almost like an amusement ride for them. So lots of people want to drive, they don't want to buy it. And Walter looks at it and goes, well, people like the idea of a car.

The move builds on the roughly one-third of Hertz's vehicle sales that already go directly to consumers.Shoppers can now browse and buy Hertz vehicles on Amazon, then pick them up in Dallas, Houston, L.A., or Seattle—with plans to expand to 45 U.S. locations.Retail sales, add $1,000–$1,500 in value per vehicle for Hertz compared to wholesale channels.Hertz is also expanding its “try before you buy” program to 100 cities and enhancing digital sales through platforms like Carvana and Autotrader.“It is really important as well that we get more net out of what we're selling,” said Hertz CEO Gil West.VinFast's U.S. dealership network is taking shape with the grand opening of its first California franchise location in San Diego.The new store, operated by Sunroad Automotive Group, offers sales, service, and test drives of the VF 8 and VF 9 electric SUVs.The automaker plans to replace all 15 of its former company-owned California stores and now operates nearly 30 authorized dealerships across 14 states, with the company “recognizing the distinct advantages of this distribution channel” to maximize business efficiency.California remains a key focus for the brand, which calls the state a “top priority” for EV growth.The new location includes full support for warranty, repair, and maintenance using genuine VinFast parts.“This event marks a pivotal moment in our strategy,” said Mike Nolte, VinFast's U.S. VP of Sales and Marketing.Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute are working to make humanoid robots useful in real life by teaching them complex, adaptable behaviors through massive AI models.Many of us are familiar with Boston Dynamics, but Toyota Research Institute (TRI), a Toyota subsidiary, focuses on human-centered AI innovations in automated driving, energy, and materials to improve the human condition.The Atlas robot is being trained with Large Behavior Models (LBMs) to handle complex, long tasks using proprioception (a robot's internal sense of position and movement), vision, and language prompts.These AI-driven policies allow Atlas to walk, crouch, grasp, and manipulate objects with surprising dexterity—even reacting intelligently when things go wrong.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

S&P Futures are trading lower this morning as tech shares remain weak. Yesterday we saw a rotation out of tech and into cyclical and value-oriented stocks. In the pre-market EL, TGT & LZB are lower after earnings releases, FUTU and Keys are higher. This afternoon the Fed will be releasing the meeting minutes from July Fed meeting and traders will be closely examining the minutes to see if any FOMC members, beyond Governor Bowman and Governor Waller, indicated support for a potential rate cut in upcoming meetings. Hertz announced that it will sell used vehicle online through Amazon. Tomorrow morning earnings results are due out from WMT, BILI & YMM.

Hertz (HTZ) rallied 6% after announcing it will sell used cars through Amazon (AMZN). Why is the company accelerating its footprint in the industry now, and how will it help both companies? Karl Brauer pumps the gas and explains why he sees the deal as symbiotic for Hertz and Amazon's growth as the used car space faces headwinds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Hertz Rent-A Car and its shady practices with AI scanners have been a mainstay in the news for all of the wrong reasons. From fabricating false damage claims, to having drivers arrested on false theft claims, they have done it all. On this episode I put that to the test by renting from Hertz myself and driving 1500 miles across the country. Tune in for my rundown of the Hertz experience and for my thoughts on the direction which the rental car industry is trending.

It's not just Hertz anymore. https://www.lehtoslaw.com

Mike and Mark discuss how AI is being used by companies to up-charge customers. Is this fair? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday Kelly Clarkson's ex husband Kevin Blackstock passed away after a three year battle with cancer. JLO got turned away at a Chanel store. A cryptocurrency meme coin group has claimed to be responsible for throwing the adult toys on the floor of WNBA games. Hertz has a new AI that scans all their cars as they're going out and coming back in. Jamie thinks this is going to cause more people to buy the extra insurance. The boys make their way north to give out tote bags! The mascot for the Seattle Kraken was up shooting videos in Alaska when an excited bear spotted him. Jamie thought she had a hook up for Savannah Banana tickets but now she doesn't know where it! A man was injured after a water slide broke a cruise ship.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Erica Rhodes joins Adam in the studio! They kick things off by unpacking some of California's most ridiculous laws—especially those related to fireworks—as Adam reveals which cities go all out on the Fourth of July. Adam also reflects on the passing of actor Michael Madsen, sharing a story from when he appeared on the show, and recounts a recent conversation that perfectly captures his personality. Later, they react to a baffling speech from Gavin Newsom filled with trademark political word salad.In the news with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, reports reveal that Amazon now employs more robots than humans, while Hertz faces backlash for its AI damage scanners charging customers for tiny scuffs. Plus, a man is convicted for impersonating a flight attendant to score over 120 free flights, and new research shows a single dose of psilocybin—aka magic mushrooms—can provide up to five years of depression relief.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ERICA RHODESINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @ericarhodesWEBSITE: www.ericarhodescomedy.comFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineBetterHelp.com/CAROLLAListen to Cocaine Air wherever you get your podcastsHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvsimplisafe.com/ADAMLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 shows)July 16 - Rosemont, ILJuly 17 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
