  1. Rent-a-Wreck

    Advert date January 2012 Image RentAWreckLogo.png right Rent A Wreck is a rental car car rental company that is primarily known for renting used cars at discount prices. The cars may have been personally owned, or they could have been owned by another rental car chain company.

The average Rent A Wreck vehicle is about 3 5 years old on average with 40,000 70,000 miles. The company is known as The Smart Alternative, a trademarked phrase. The easiest way to spot a Rent a Wreck vehicle is to look for a bumper sticker with the Rent a Wreck logo on it. History Founded in 1968 in Los Angeles, California Los Angeles by David Schwartz, a young entrepreneur with a used car sales lot, Rent A Wreck began as a pioneering concept renting used cars for less at neighbourhood locations. Airport based car rental was typical in the 1960s, and most renters were business travellers or vacationers renting while out of town. Media coverage, notably in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Mike Wallace show, sparked national interest in Rent A Wreck, and by 1973, the company had sold its first franchised unit. Since 1973, Rent A Wreck has grown to include franchised locations in all 50 states and in Scandinavia and Iceland. The company operates primarily in neighbourhood locations, often connected to or in close proximity to repair facilities, car dealerships or other automotive related services.

  1. Quit-rent

    Quit rent , Quit rent , or quitrent , in practically all cases, is now effectively but not formally a tax or land tax imposed on Fee simple freehold or lease d land by a higher landowning authority, usually a government or its assigns . Under feudal law, the payment of quit rent freed the tenant farmer tenant of a holding from the obligation to perform such other services as were obligatory under feudal tenure, or freed the occupier of the land from the burden of having others use their own distinct rights that affected the land e.g., hunting rights which would have impaired farming . As such, it was a rental of distinct things that were not parcelled up in the ownership of the land itself, although connected with the full enjoyment of the land, and formally it was a sort of buy back rather than a tax. Where a true tax can be varied by the taxer, and must be paid on pain of penalties that can be varied by the taxer without formal limit, the only sanction for not paying a feudal quit rent was that the alternative burdens would return which imposed a ceiling on how much could be demanded in payment of a quit rent in practice. Where the sanctions for non compliance are limited in this way, a quit rent is a rent in fact as well as in form and name, and not a tax where they are not so limited, a quit rent is not a rent in fact but only in form and name, being rather a tax in fact.
