Payless Car Rental provides extensive training to franchisees through various programs and instructions. Key aspects of this training include:
Web-Based Training and Seminars: Payless periodically updates and introduces new web-based training programs and seminars. These are mandatory for franchisees, their General Managers, and other managerial staff. Attendance at Payless conventions or seminars is also required.
On-the-Job Training: Experienced instructors, often from the Licensee Relations Department and with a minimum of one year in the car rental industry, provide hands-on training.
Operating Assistance and Training: A thorough training program is available, offering courses, resources, webinars, and training materials to help train the franchisee's General Manager and employees in running the rental business.
Payless Car Rental ensures territory protection for its franchisees by assigning them an exclusive area, typically delineated by political boundaries or a designated radius around the franchise location.
Throughout the franchise term, Payless commits to not opening or authorizing another Payless franchise within this protected territory, as long as the franchisee adheres to all terms of the agreement.
However, Payless reserves the right to operate and grant licenses outside of this territory and, in certain situations, within the territory under specific conditions.
