Mikhail Moroz is our client and founder of the Tomfly car rental service. The company's vehicle fleet consists of Smart Fortwo 450 and Smart Fortwo 451 cars, which, thanks to their technical and operational characteristics, are today recognized as one of the best city cars in many countries of the world. In summer, they also offer cabriolet rentals. Mikhail told us about the advantages of a rented car.
I used to do car repairs. In the service, I constantly observed clients who, leaving the car for repairs, suffered from the fact that they had nothing to move around. Then we began to offer a replacement car and eventually completely switched to leasing. Now the repair is a technical support for business and a service for our regular customers, whom we can no longer refuse.
Buying a car is always associated with certain difficulties. Not everyone wants to take out a loan, and it can be inconvenient to pay a large sum at once, especially for a business owner. In addition, somewhere you need to store seasonal tires, the car needs to be insured, and in general - 3-4 years after purchase, you will probably want to change it, and you will sell it much cheaper than you bought it. In addition, buying a used car is always a risk, because we do not live in Germany, where a faulty car can simply be returned to the seller. In Ukraine, a week after buying a used car, the engine may break down, and the buyer will have to pay a thousand dollars or more for repairs.
The entire registration procedure takes place very quickly: the client calls the operator, finds out the terms of the lease, sends documents in electronic form. After that, at the pick-up point, we meet the client with a ready-made contract and a car so that he can ride it and ask all organizational and technical questions. We are working officially. We provide cars to people from 22 years old and with a driving experience of at least 2 years. Of course, it is imperative that a person knows how to drive a car, because there was a case when I got into a car with a client at a pick-up point and realized that a person was confusing the gas and brake pedals. Therefore, I had to refuse him a lease: although our entire fleet is insured, such a driver can be dangerous on the road - it is better not to risk it.
Our client receives a serviced car, insured by "Casco" and with tires for the season. Unlike most competitors, we do not limit mileage. Our only condition is to move within Kyiv and Kyiv region, because Smart is not a car for long trips, because the car is not even equipped with a “spare wheel”.
We service all cars at our service station. If Smart requires repair, but no mechanical damage has been caused to it (for example, the clutch has failed), then we don’t ask the client to reimburse anything.
The minimum rental period is 2 days. The rental price is from 290 UAH per day. The lease term can be extended: the longer it is, the lower the price per day.
In addition, if our regular customer is busy and cannot come to our service to bring or pick up a car from maintenance, our driver can deliver the car to him.
Renting Smart is also an excellent solution for short-term business trips or to show Kyiv to visiting friends or relatives.
We are often approached by delivery services, whose couriers ride two-wheeled vehicles in the summer and prefer to transfer to Smart.
We registered the trademark in order to increase our recognition. And I must say that we succeed. Let me give you an example of one situation. The logos of the company are pasted on the trunks of our cars, and one day a client asked to remove the inscription from the car with the words: "And so half the city drives with your stickers." It was the best compliment for us.
