Hourly Novelty Vehicle Rental Operator
Buy or rent a unique vehicle like a Cybertruck and rent it out by the hour or half-hour instead of by the day. Wrap the vehicle with QR codes and drive it around busy downtown areas, bars, and shopping districts as a mobile billboard. Charge $50-100 per hour while you sit in the passenger seat with speed governors installed for safety. Can bootstrap by renting a Cybertruck on Turo for the day ($300) and sub-renting it hourly to up to 10 customers.
