Rent-A-Wreck was founded in 1968 in Los Angeles, and sold its first franchise in 1973.[1] Since then, it has opened franchised locations in 41 of the 50 U.S. states, Scandinavia, and Sint Maarten island in the Caribbean.
Rent-A-Wreck was purchased by JJF Management on January 26, 2006.[1] Long-time employee Jason Maneli was made President of Rent-A-Wreck in July 2018.
International expansion
[edit]A separate Calgary-based Rent-A-Wreck was founded in 1976 in Prince George, BC and is not affiliated with the US based firm (changed parent firm from Rent-A-Wreck Capital, Incorporated to Franchise Services of North America, Incorporated).[1][2] This firm offers car and truck rentals in all 10 provinces and the Yukon Territory. This Canadian operation has been known as PractiCar since 2008.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
