Car Hire Marketplace

Accurate Rates Made Easy

The Car Hire Marketplace takes the guesswork out of car hire rate information. This internet-based railcar rate management application provides access to accurate and impartial car hire rate information. It allows users to initiate, manage, and communicate bids and offers electronically with other railroads and car owners.

The three components of this service are:

The Railcar Blue Book
Internet-based car hire rate database that provides average car hire rates based on actual payment information. You can quickly and accurately retrieve the current average market rate actually being paid for like equipment to support your car hire rate negotiations.

Analytical Reports
These reports compare actual paid rates to industry average rates to identify roads paying below market rates or default rates. The reports also show a fleet's reported earnings compared to expected revenue levels.

Bid and Offer 
The internet bid and offer process assures you will never miss a deal or lose track of a bid or offer again. The process easily originates, organizes, retains, suspends, retrieves, and replies to bids and offers electronically
