Rent-A-Wreck Opens in Baton Rouge
Local Business Owner Offers the “Smart Alternative”

Baton Rouge, LA (10/22/08) – Jim Levy has brought the rent-a-car company with the funny name to town! Rent-A-Wreck of Baton Rouge is open for business, located in the same building as Fact-O-Bake South Auto Body Shop, at 10545 Airline Highway in Baton Rouge, La.

“And no, the cars aren’t really wrecked!” laughs Jim, “It’s just a funny name that we want folks around here to remember when the need to rent a cheap, clean and reliable car!”

Rent-A-Wreck will operate out of the same building as Fact-O-Bake, offering his current customers the convenience of vehicle rentals while their own cars are repaired. In addition, Levy invites the general public to sample the great vehicles and low prices that his Rent-A-Wreck location offers. “There was a clear need for a low cost car rental company in Baton Rouge,” said Jim, adding that his automotive background helps him keep his cars in top condition while offering the best prices to his customers.

Rent-A-Wreck of Baton Rouge marks the 3 rd Rent-A-Wreck location in Louisiana for the 30-something company. A young southern California entrepreneur named Dave Schwartz pioneered the concept of renting “clunkers”, used cars for less than the competition. The idea gained widespread popularity as celebrities such as Paul Newman, Henry Fonda, Bob Newhart, Ringo Starr and three James Bonds have rented the older cars in order to preserve their anonymity on Hollywood’s star struck streets. Today, Rent-A-Wreck franchise owners like Jim Levy rent newer model cars, trucks, sport utilities and vans.
