I have friends who rent out thier cars to drivers who makes weekly returns to them. Some who have two cars makes cool cash by giving out thier cars to drivers. The truth is, you must be truthful to the owner of the car and gain his trust, most times, you must bring a surety before the car owner can lease out the car to you. You have to be serious so as to cover the owners payment and make your own interest.
