Latin American Meeting Addresses Challenges, Trends in Rental Market

Designed for car rental operators serving Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, the seminars will answer questions about the specific challenges faced by Latin American operators of the car rental industry. The seminars will be presented in Spanish and English.

The Latin American Meeting will be held on Monday Nov. 6 from 8:15 a.m. until 9:55 a.m., before the start of the Auto Rental Summit.

Here is a description of each seminar that will be presented at next month’s Latin American Meeting:

- “Recovering Damages from U.S. Renters”: Led by David Purinton of PurCo Fleet Services, this session will present a solution to the problem of recovering damages once U.S. renters return home and don’t want to pay for damages.

- “How to Use Science to Price Against Your Competitors”: In some Latin American markets, low car rental rates are an ongoing problem.
