Why car rental companies miss bookings after hours

  1. Sunday, 21:30A family plans their summer trip to Tenerife.
  2. 21:40They like your cars and send a WhatsApp: “Is the Volkswagen Polo free from 12 to 17 July?”
  3. 21:41No answer. Your office is closed.
  4. 21:55They book on a site where they can book right away.
  5. Monday, 8:30You reply. They’ve already booked.

Tourists plan in the evening. If they can’t book, they book elsewhere.

With Esplori online booking, your team keeps the tools it already uses. Everything stays yours.

Customers pick dates, see free cars with the full price, and book on your website. Every booking lands where you already track bookings, for example your Google Sheet.

01

Keep your setup. Pay once.

No new software, no training. Pay once: no subscription, no fee per car, no commission. If we ever stop working together, it keeps running.

02

No more calls asking if a car is free

Customers see right away which cars are free, per car or by car category.

03

Fully adapted to your rental conditions

We add a custom online booking to your website and set it up around your rental conditions: dynamic pricing, driver eligibility, add-ons, insurance and more. Then we map it to the booking setup you already have, for example your Google Sheet.

Try it as a customer

Book a car on our example rental website, the way your customers would. You can go all the way to payment with a test card (no real money is taken) and get the confirmation e-mail your customer would receive.

This example is a simplified version. Your online booking is adapted to your rental conditions: insurance tiers, extra fees, real-time availability and more.

Questions about online booking for car rental

How much does it cost?

It depends on how you track bookings today and how complex your setup is. For example: full insurance always included, or different insurance tiers as an upsell. Real-time availability per car, or booking by car category (“or similar”). You get a fixed price after your free preview, before you commit to anything. You pay once for the setup, with no monthly subscription, no commission and no fee per car.

Does it work with how I track bookings now?

It connects to wherever you track bookings today, for example a Google Sheet. Tell us what you use in the preview form and we’ll show you how it fits.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Only if you want customers to pay online. Stripe is a payment provider used by millions of businesses worldwide. It processes your customers’ card payments and sends the money to your bank account. Opening an account is free, with no monthly fee. Stripe charges a fee per payment: from 1.5% + €0.25 for standard European cards, a bit more for premium and non-European cards. We’ll help you set it up. For booking requests only, you don’t need Stripe.

Who receives the payments?

You do. Payments go to your own Stripe account. We never handle your customers’ money.

Can customers still contact me on WhatsApp?

Yes. Your WhatsApp and phone number stay on your website.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Customer data stays in your own accounts: your website, your booking records and your Stripe. Nothing is stored on our servers.

What happens if I stop maintenance?

The online booking stays on your website and keeps working. You get clear instructions on which settings are critical and how to handle them. If your team follows them, everything runs without problems. But mistakes happen, and without maintenance we can’t monitor your booking or guarantee it keeps running smoothly.

What do I need to get started?
