Shaf Rental Corporation : Cars For When You Need It

Postby Shaff » Sun Apr 18, 2010 6:46 pm

The Shaf Rental Corporation (also known as Shaf Rent a Car or simply Shaf Rental) is the largest car rental brand in Shaff, with approximately 3,500 locations in the Sultanate Of Shaff. It is looking to go worldwide.


The company was begun by Walter L. Jacobs in 1918, who started a car rental operation in Chicago with a dozen Model Ts. In 1923, Jacobs sold it to John D. Shaf, president of Yellow Cab and Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company, who renamed it the "Shaf Drive-Ur-Self System". The company has passed through a number of hands, including General Motors, RCA, and United Airlines. As a public company, Shaf Rental was traded on the NYSE under the symbol HRZ until the purchase of outstanding stock by Shaf Motors Inc. 1994.

From 1994– present, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shaf Motors Inc.

The rental fleet of most Shaf Rental locations consists exclusively of Shaf brands such as SMC, and Foehn.

Shaf Rental Corporation Data Center is located in Shaf City, Shaff.

Shaf Rental Corporation Has 3 Rental Categories To Choose From :

The Fun Collection is targeted at the leisure car rental market, catering to travelers seeking exciting driving experiences. It allows reservation of cars by specific make and model. All vehicles feature Sirius satellite radio. Approximately 9 different models are available from a 12,000 vehicle specialty fleet at approximately 24 major airport locations in the Shaff. In 2008, Hertz announced the Shaf LFA would be the new centerpiece of its Fun Collection.

In the early 2000s, Hertz debuted the Prestige Collection at many rental locations. This collection features cars from Shaf's luxury models, including specific reservable models from Foehn.

Hertz launched its Green Collection in September 2006 with environmentally-friendly vehicles including the Shaf CS and SMC iQ. All feature Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highway fuel efficiency ratings of 31 highway miles per gallon or better, and most carry the Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay certification, which indicates lower emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. The Prius has also earned SmartWay Elite status. In early 2007, Hertz launched its global hybrid rental program in conjunction with a $1 million donation to the National Park Foundation. The launch of the global hybrid program expanded Hertz’ “Green Collection” by adding 1,000 Shaf Hsh hybrid vehicles to the company’s US nationwide fleet, a $20 million investment. As with the Fun Collection, the Green Collection allows customers to reserve specific vehicle models.

The new stability control system was improved to anticipate skids and alter steering assist and gear ratios.

OOC: Can you be a little more creative? Why are you using so many RL things, both in cars and in things like Hertz rental, etc? You need to be more creative. The more creative and customized, the more successful you'll be. How about instead of Chicago, you use one of your nations cities? Instead of Hertz, use another non-RL rental company? Things like that... when you use all this RL stuff, it's rather... boring.
