RentalHawk.com Debut's First Ever, Price Comparison Website Exclusively for Equipment Rental Industry
LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - RentalHawk.com
has officially launched as the first website to offer live, local rate
comparisons for the equipment
rental industry, aiming to transform how customers search, compare,
and rent equipment from competing vendors in their area. Its first week
in operation, RentalHawk.com is already being likened to Travelocity and
other price-comparison websites that were responsible for
revolutionizing the airline and travel industries.
According to equipment industry veterans and RentalHawk.com co-founders
Robert Gray and Mark Richter, that's exactly the future of heavy
equipment rental - instant online and mobile rate comparison any
day, any time.
RentalHawk.com allows rental companies to list their equipment for each
individual branch location and manage rates for that equipment in any
city they choose to service. This allows each branch true fleet and
rental rate management in real-time, ultimately boosting bottom-line
profits. Much like travel websites such as Expedia and Travelocity,
RentalHawk.com centralizes the rental process in an easy-to-use
interface known as HAWKWATCH.
HAWKWATCH allows users to search for a specific rental item such as a scissor
lift, giving a description of the item, as well as the exact
location of the item. Equipment vendors now have an outlet to display
their entire inventory, complete with pricing, location and availability.
Using this info, RentalHawk.com creates a competitive marketplace that
can benefit both the consumer and vendor. Consumers are not only able to
search and sort equipment rental companies by location and price, but
see past-customer ratings on each vendor as well. Using "The Talon
Rating System" consumers can determine if a vendor is trustworthy,
priced appropriately, and ultimately the best equipment rental company
for them.
One of the best features is that the consumer is able to rent
equipment directly from the rental company via RentalHawk's website.
All billing and contact information is accurate and the consumer is
guaranteed to receive the rate displayed by each listed vendor at the
time of order.
"When we explain the concept of RentalHawk.com to equipment rental
industry insiders, their eyes light up," says Robert Gray, co-founder of
RentalHawk.com. "No one could believe that this sort of service didn't
exist, that is, until now."
RentalHawk.com is already getting some major recognition from equipment
vendors and consumers as well as industry insiders and
professionals. The industry is about to change in a major way, and it's
being spearheaded by the 4-talon concept known as RentalHawk.com.
