Former Fleet Vehicles: A Reliable Option
Many companies operate vehicle fleets, and once these vehicles are no longer needed or have been fully depreciated, auctions offer them for sale. These well-maintained vehicles, having benefited from regular routine care, often find new purposes as either inventory for used car dealers or as personal vehicles.
Opportunities in Former Rental Cars
RideSafely offers access to former rental cars from reputable brands like Avis Budget Group, Hertz, Enterprise, and Sixt. These vehicles, typically from recent model years, are ideal for those seeking a reliable car with plenty of service years remaining.

Members can also find an array of trailers—from general cargo to specialized boat haulers—and boats, including sailboats, fishing boats, and jet skis. These items, often road-worthy or easily repairable, cater to both business needs and leisure activities.
Emergency Response Vehicles: Cost-Effective Solutions
For those in need of emergency response vehicles, from police cars to fire trucks, these vehicles are often sold at lower costs, making them attractive options for smaller municipalities or private collectors.
