Training

Dollar Rent A Car provides a structured and multi-faceted training program for its franchisees, aimed at preparing them for successful operation of their franchised business. Here’s a summary of the key training programs offered:

1. Initial Training Program: Franchisees, their managers, and key employees must complete an initial training program to the Franchisor’s satisfaction before opening the business. This training may be conducted at the franchisee’s location or another designated site. While the program itself has no fee, the franchisee is responsible for all travel, living expenses, and wages incurred during training.
2. Remedial Training: If the Franchisor determines it necessary, franchisees may be required to attend additional training at their own expense to improve the operations of their franchised business.
3. Employee Training Program: Franchisees must implement internal training for all employees to ensure operations align with the Franchisor's current standards and procedures.

Territory Protection

Dollar Rent A Car does not grant exclusive territorial protection to its franchisees. Each franchisee is provided a non-exclusive, geographic territory that is typically defined by the name of a city or other political subdivision as outlined in the Franchise Agreement.

This means that while franchisees operate within an assigned area, they may face competition from other Dollar Rent A Car franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels under the same or different brands controlled by the franchisor.
