What does it mean to "out of service" a vehicle?

To "out of service" a vehicle means that it is not available for rental or use by customers. This designation can occur for various reasons, including but not limited to maintenance, repairs, or other operational decisions that prevent the vehicle from being part of the rental fleet at a given time. When a vehicle is out of service, it indicates to staff and management that the vehicle should not be counted in the available inventory or allocated for rental purposes, ensuring proper fleet management and customer satisfaction by not offering vehicles that are not in a usable condition.

The other options reflect different scenarios: a vehicle being repaired refers to a specific task rather than its overall availability; being used for employee transport suggests it is in use but not available for the intended rental market; and having been sold as a resale indicates it's no longer part of the fleet at all.
