Admin panel for car rental companies

Pick-up and drop-off dates, the specific vehicle, documents, deposit and car status — in one panel instead of a spreadsheet and messages.

Why a website alone isn't enough

Without a panel, fleet availability is checked by hand, and deposits and documents are easy to lose track of as the number of bookings grows.

Vehicle availability is checked by hand in a spreadsheet, which leads to mistakes when dates overlap.

Deposits, deposits and client documents sit scattered outside the booking system.

There is no single place showing vehicle status: available, rented out, in for service.

The history of clients who return to the island isn't recorded anywhere.

What you see in the panel

  • Fleet view with availability and maintenance holds.
  • Pick-up and drop-off dates for every booking.
  • A specific vehicle or car class assigned.
  • Status of the client's documents (driving licence, ID).
  • Deposit and payment status.
  • Vehicle status: available, rented out, in for service, damaged.
  • Notes on returns, damage and add-ons.

FAQ

Does the panel show the availability of a specific car, not just a class?+

Yes. Availability can work at the level of a specific vehicle or a whole class, depending on the size of the fleet.

Is the security deposit shown separately from the rental deposit?+

Yes. The panel shows a separate status for the deposit and the security deposit, making settlement after the return easier.

Can a car be marked as unavailable because it's in for service?+

Yes. A vehicle's status can be set to in for service, which automatically blocks it in the availability calendar.

Can you see the history of clients returning to the island?+

Yes. The client card shows previous rentals, making it easier to prepare an offer for their next visit.
