Booking system for equipment rental
Updated
A rental booking system lets customers see available equipment and book it for an hour or a full day online, paying when they book. You enter how many units you have of each type, so the system never rents out more than you have. With Klarte you start for free and take card payments.
Equipment rental is about keeping count: six kayaks cannot be rented out seven times at once. A booking system that counts free units and takes payment up front makes rentals simple for you and your customers.
What should a booking system for equipment rental be able to do?
- Units per type. Enter how many you have of each item, for example six kayaks and four SUP boards.
- Hour or day. Create offers for an hour, half a day or a full day.
- Payment when booking. The customer pays the rental by card when booking.
- Reminder with practical info. The confirmation and reminder can say where and when to pick up the equipment.
- Gift cards. Sell rental gift cards, for example as a summer gift.
