Reservations

All your reservations are available in the Control Panel. You can print or email them, and filter by date, status, name, vehicle, location, rates, or by canceled and no-show status. You can also change a reservation from pending to confirmed, edit it, or convert it to a rental agreement. Pickup and dropoff information, comments, and pickup details can also be printed.

Quotes

Provide fast, accurate quotes over the phone or at the counter, and print or email them within seconds. Quotes can be fully edited at any time and converted into a reservation or rental agreement contract when the customer is ready to book.

Contracts

Generate a fully customizable rental agreement instantly from a quotation or reservation, with options for digital signatures, print-friendly layouts, and complete audit-trail tracking. Support multilingual templates, email delivery of signed agreements, embedded payment and authorization fields, and seamless vehicle-swap workflows.

You can easily edit your contract at any time—add or remove clauses, adjust fees, or update wording on the fly—without needing technical support.
