OUR EXPERIENCE
At
the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY,we know Surreys. With over
three decades of combined experience as both a manufacturer
and owner of rental facilities across the United States,
we offer your business unique expertise that is unparalleled
in the industry. We know of no other company that has both
produced these distinctive four wheel bikes for worldwide distribution
as well as tested, through decades of rental use, what makes
a Surrey bike best suited for the rental industry. What has evolved
through this process is a Surrey bike engineered with the rental
owner in mind, embodying the reliability and quality important
to a business and offering the enjoyable ride and safety
important to its customers. When it comes to Surrey bikes, our
values and goals are aligned with yours because the Surrey bikes
we recommend for your use are the Surrey bikes we use ourselves.
At
the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY, we know the rental industry. We believe that the profit-making potential of Surrey bike rental
ownership is one of the best kept secrets from those seeking
lucrative investment opportunities. Surrey bikes are not only
ideal for the makings of a standalone business but are
a great addition to almost any existing business. As the
owner
of rental facilities, we know that a rental facility operating
at a good location during peek months can generate the
amount of income enjoyed by only a small percentage of small
businesses.
As a manufacturer, we also recognize the barriers that
have prevented many potential business owners with this knowledge
from entering the rental industry, including the restricted
supply of Surrey bikes and the sizeable, upfront investment
required
for their purchase. Once operational, we understand the
frustration often felt by rentals owners unable to obtain
necessary parts
for repairs and the impracticability of frequent unit refurbishment
which demands considerable time, skill and money.
At the
INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY, we know the solution. It
has been our mission to devise affordable, innovative
ways to overcome these hindrances, making rental ownership
easier than ever before with our affordable lease and
purchase options. Because we are uniquely situated in the
industry
as the only company to have done everything from manufacture
Surrey bikes to send countless families out on enjoyable Surrey bike
rides, we are able to offer a leasing program that allows
your company to have a new fleet of rental-grade Surrey bikes
delivered to your door every leasing term for a fraction
of what it would cost to purchase a similar fleet. Our
Leasing Program is the first of its kind in the Surrey bike
rental industry,
allowing you to maximize your profits with only a small
investment and minimize your risks. In addition to our
leasing option,
we offer our customers the option of purchasing our state
of the art Surrey bikes at special below-market pricing. You
can do business with the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY with the
assurance that we have come to know Surrey bikes and the rental
industry better than any other company in the business
since our inception in 1970.
OUR HISTORY
The history of Surrey bikes
in America is the history of the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY.
As a Surrey Rental Operator
In
1970, several importers brought Surrey bikes into the United
States for commercial use in the rental industry. A
Houston, Texas company imported the Gitane Rosalie,
a uni-frame
four-wheel cycle manufactured in France. That same
year, Cliff Marshall
Imports introduced the Selene Surrey, an Italian-made
Surrey with a bolted-together frame, which debuted
in Dennisport,
Massachusetts as a rental cycle. A few months later,
the Surrey Company opened rental locations in Kissimmee,
Florida
and Galveston, Texas. The Surrey Company's affiliate
rental company, Beach Bike Rentals, rented cycles
of all types,
including the Rosalie and Selene, with great success.
As
a Surrey Manufacturer
Through our experience as
a rental operator, we encountered the abusive nature of
the rental industry and the
shortened useful life of Surrey bikes because of such abuse.
More
than 35 years ago, we began to evaluate the weaknesses
of
the product
and worked with the importer to communicate these
weaknesses to the manufacturer. The Surrey Company eventually
found it necessary to set up a facility to remake
certain
components
of the Surrey bike, including frame and awning parts.
The Surrey Company was still importing Surrey bikes in the early
and mid-80s
but found that our suggested changes to improve
the
imported Surrey bike were being incorporated into cycles
going to our
competitors.
It was at this time that the Surrey Company
began
manufacturing
a rental cycle with no equal, a Surrey bike that was
state of the art and could withstand the rigors of the
rental
industry.
By 1996, the Surrey Company started exporting our
Surrey bikes internationally, and the Surrey Company
name
gave way to the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY to
reflect this
growth in our profile.
From 1970 to the current
day, we have supplied or operated rental agencies
all over the United
States and abroad.
Simply put, no other company exists within or
outside of the United
States with more experience or knowledge of the
Surrey bike and leisure cycle rental business than
the INTERNATIONAL SURREY COMPANY.
