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.

- Pick-up and drop-off dates for every booking.

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.
