Training
U-Save’s initial and ongoing training programs are designed to help our franchise partners implement proven best practices with regard to operating, managing and marketing their franchises.

Some of the new skills our franchise partners learn quickly and become proficient in are:
• Effectively managing a rental fleet
• Acquiring and disposing of vehicles
• Marketing & networking in their local communities
• Understanding the financial keys to their local business
• Managing risk to minimize insurance losses
• Developing effective retail counter procedures
• Marketing to insurance replacement and wholesale markets
Personal Support
In addition, the U-Save Franchise Services Team assigns a qualified auto rental professional to work closely with each of our newest franchise partners. This person serves as a personal business consultant to help them navigate the pitfalls of the business and identify opportunities as well. When you’re just starting out, it’s nice to know that help is just a phone call away.
