What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Casiola does not have specific requirements for the use of a personal vehicle for on-site inspections and meetings with potential customers and short-term rental homeowners. The FDD specifies that as long as franchisees comply with applicable laws and insurance requirements, they may use a vehicle they already own.
Item 7 of the FDD includes a line item for a vehicle, with an estimated cost between $250 and $4,250. This cost covers expenses that a franchisee may incur to purchase a vehicle.
