Abstract A dispatching problem with random availability of vehicles and options to send rented vehicles is considered. We assume passenger arrivals to be described by a pure-birth process. Such a problem is analytically attractive and is shown to have practical applications in vehicle dispatching models. An average cost criterion is used to determine firm's fleet size and option (renting) strategy.
