Booqable is flexible rental software used across many industries. RentalPilot does one thing — car rental — so the workflows fit how a rental operator actually works: driver details, security-deposit holds, mileage and fuel, protection plans and young-driver rules, without adapting a general tool.
Because RentalPilot only does car rental, the essentials are there by default: vehicle classes, mileage and fuel tracking, refundable security-deposit holds, protection plans and young-driver rules — no adapting a general rental catalog to fit cars.
Photo-documented walk-arounds, odometer and fuel capture, driver details and e-signed agreements are part of the flow — the parts that matter when the thing you rent drives away and comes back.
Take cards and refundable deposit holds on your own Stripe account, with refunds, pay-by-link and protection plans built in — money lands directly in your bank.
Import your fleet from a CSV, set your prices and branding, and take your first booking today — with the whole renter experience available in English or Spanish.
One platform to run the whole rental business — from the first reservation to the final invoice.
One monthly fee based on your fleet size, from $29 — no per-booking fees and no cut of your rentals. You keep 100%.
Customers reserve on a site in your colours and logo, in English or Spanish, on any device.
Bookings, calendar, fleet, maintenance, payments, deposits, customers, promo codes, protection plans and reports.
Import your fleet and customers from a CSV, set prices and branding, and start taking bookings — no onboarding project.
Take cards and refundable deposit holds; payouts go straight to your bank, with refunds and pay-by-link built in.
Designed for independent shops and growing, multi-location fleets — not enterprise teams — so it stays simple to run day to day.

Booqable is general-purpose rental management software used across many rental industries — from events and equipment to bikes and cameras — with inventory management, online booking pages and a built-in website builder.
Booqable can be a great fit if you rent more than cars, or cars alongside equipment and gear, and want one flexible catalog-based tool across all of it — it also markets a dedicated car-rental offering, so it's worth a look if a general platform suits how you work. If you're a small or independent operator who wants to be live quickly with flat, commission-free pricing and your own branded booking site, that's exactly what RentalPilot is built for.
Yes. RentalPilot imports vehicles and customers from a CSV — there's a template, duplicate detection, and a per-row preview before anything saves. Any CSV works: one exported from Booqable if it offers an export, one from another tool, or your own spreadsheet. On paid plans, AI column mapping matches a messy file's columns for you.
Most operators are live the same day. Import your fleet and customers, set your rates and branding, and share your booking link. There's no onboarding project, no setup fee and no required sales call.
No. RentalPilot is a flat monthly fee based on fleet size, from $29/mo, with 0% commission and no per-booking fees. Payments run through your own Stripe account, so they settle straight to your bank.
Yes. There's a free plan for two vehicles with no credit card required — it's the real product, not a time-limited trial, so you can run genuine bookings through it before deciding.
Your data is yours. Export bookings, customers and financial reports to CSV, and download PDF invoices and receipts any time. Plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract.
Start free, add your cars and branding, and take your first online booking today — no credit card.
