Question 1

Can I use my own custom rental contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can enter your own contract text directly in the settings. If you have an existing contract in PDF format, you can copy the text and paste it into the system. We also provide a base rental contract template that you can customize. We recommend having a lawyer review your contract before publishing it.

Question 2

Can I customize my rental rates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each piece of equipment has its own daily rate, weekly rate, monthly rate, and hourly rate that you set individually. You can also configure surcharges for short rentals, set minimum rental durations, and add unlimited discounts or fees on top of your base rates. Add-on services can be configured as additional charges. This gives you full flexibility over your pricing structure for every item in your fleet.

Question 3

Can I set minimum and maximum rental durations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minimum and maximum rental duration are fully customizable. You can set different minimums and maximums per equipment or rate type so your policies match each product.

Question 4

How do I create my first booking?

Accepted Answer

To create your first booking, log in to your account and navigate to the 'Bookings' section. Click on the 'New Booking' button, select the trailer you want to rent out, choose the dates, add customer information, and click 'Create Booking'. You can also set up payment options and add any additional notes or requirements.

Question 5

Can I require customers to upload license and insurance before or during booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You control this. The software lets you require documents before booking, after booking, or at pickup. You can also choose not to require them at all and collect documents in person. This keeps the booking flow in your hands and reduces abandonment when customers do not have documents ready.

Question 6

How do contactless or self-service rentals work?

Accepted Answer

Contactless or self-service rentals are supported by handling all paperwork online before the customer arrives: contract signing, driver's license upload, insurance upload, and payment. Once that's complete, you send the customer the pickup location, unit number, and any access instructions (for example a lockbox code) via automated messages. How you handle the actual handoff—staffed, lockbox, or another method—is up to you.
