Travelocity Rent-a-Car is the outcome of everyone's ideas and interest in car rental. Their impossible dream turns into a reality when an opportunity to open a car rental business comes up to them. The name itself reflects the main purpose of opening the business which is to fulfil the demand of transportation nowadays especially students. The nature of this business is service where we provide high quality of car condition in cheaper rental price. The head office of Travelocity Rent-a-Car runs at Sulaman Sentral. 1t is situated at the opposite of the busiest shop lots in Sepanggar area which is lndah Permai. The location chosen there because it is strategically located in between of majority educational institution in Kota Kinabalu such as Universiti Teknologi MARA, Polytechnic KK, Universiti Malaysia Sabah etc. Endless houses and shop lots surrounding Sulaman Sentral has also created business opportunity for Travelocity Rent-a-Car. The date of business commencement for this business is on June 2012 which is the next year. This is due to the time taken for the partners to finish their education in diploma level. The incorporation of business, application of business licence, searching for business location, and also the renovation of premise will approximately took seven months to complete, that is from December 2011 to June 2012. There are several factors which led us to select this proposed business. One of those is the increase of demand of transportation. Student nowadays tends to drive their own personal car to do tasks that requires them to travel around. Since most of the university has a policy not to allow the students to bring their car to the campus, they have the only one option: to rent a car for the outside. Here the solution they proposed and finally come up with this business idea.
