It is necessary to maintain a database of the best local vendors in advance. You have to find all available vendors (not more than 10) that are near the airport or can possible deliver car there. HINT: pick up the largest airport in your area (by Flight Frequency) in case there is more than one airport close to you.
After this information is collected, you have to select the best 3 service vendors and explain what advantages they have over the rest of vendors. Regarding the other 7 vendors, please specify their disadvantage(s).
When collecting information, please store and provide the following:
1) Company Name, address, contact information.
2) Number of cars (that match requirements) available within next 30 days
3) Pictures of cars available or company website with images of cars available
4) If any special booking procedures take place (for example car should be booked 3 business days in advance)
