German translation:Fits= short for fitments?
Explanation:

I agree with Hans-Henning.

Maybe the sentence reads: wir bieten 2000 Leihwagen an in grösseren Unternehmen an, die sich auf Tagesausleihen spezialisiert haben
-just an idea!

I agree with you. In this context "fits" seem to be some kind of car rental facilities rather than "Stellplätze".
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!

Really?


Explanation:
Andy is usually always "on the spot" and his answer makes sense, but please give some extra explanation, because I am representing a mechanical parking system (www.grandopark.com) worldwide for about 10 years now and I have NEVER EVER heard the term "rental fit" used for parking space or parking lot. Is this some kind of colloquial expression?
