Why your car rental business needs car rental software?

 
Car rental software costs you around $10k. So, it is very obvious to ask about its usability before buying one!

» Seamless fleet control

In the car rental business, a car is the most important resource. By optimizing the fleet of cars, you can easily double your car rental business revenue.

Car rental software keeps an eagle eye on your fleet of cars. It stores each and every detail of those cars such as total kilometers, maintenance history, location history and booking history. Not only this, car rental software shows the variety of available cars to the users, straight on their car rental mobile app.

» More business opportunities

In conventional car rental businesses, customers can rent out the car or drop the car to car rental centers or brick-mortar stores only. But thanks to IoT technology, mobile apps, and car rental software, you can allow customers to drop the car anywhere within your business operational areas and rent out the car from that last known location by just using the mobile app.

» Outstanding customer service

When you rent out your car to a customer, it is your call to send help if your car breaks down somewhere between his journey. In such a situation, if you fail to provide him instant help, it affects your company’s reputation.

However, rent a car software and mobile app come to aid here. The car rental mobile app enables users to seek help and car rental software or admin panel helps admin to track the location of the user and sends the nearest roadside assistance service provider.

» Manage sales

A car rental software helps you to get rid of a lot of manual processes. With it, you don’t have to check your available vehicles and allocated vehicles manually. The software exhibits all cars and their availability status like available, booked or on-road in a well-documented window.
