With new owners and a partnered business, Pegasus Rental Cars (PRC) could be a gap filler in Whanganui after the departure of Avis and Budget last week.
John Sherman and Paul Rod, co-owners of Gutheries Auto Care, bought PRC in August last year with a plan to grow business through two complimented networks.
Mr Sherman said he likes everything cars and when the opportunity arose to buy a car rental company there was no looking back.
"We had been thinking about buying a car rental business for a while and I just happened to get talking to a guy who said Pegasus Rental Cars in Whanganui was for sale....it all just fell into place from there," Mr Sherman said.
Mr Sherman said the former owner of PRC, Paul Gordon, was selling simply because he was heading into retirement.
