Improvement

One consistent header and footer across the website

Every page now has the same menu and footer, and the header knows when you are signed in.

  • The calculator, contact, terms and privacy pages now have the same header menu and full footer as the rest of the site
  • When you are signed in, the header shows Dashboard or My Account on every page instead of Sign In
  • The CarRentSaaS logo is now a circle in the header and footer
Feature

A refreshed admin, two-factor sign-in, a free trial and a guide for every Help Center topic

A cleaner admin to work in, stronger account security, a free trial to get started, and step-by-step help for every topic.

  • The admin has a fresh look, with one consistent filter panel on every list and a clearer confirmation dialog
  • Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app or emailed codes, plus a security page and activity log
  • New accounts start with a free trial, with plan limits and downgrades handled clearly
  • Phone number and address fields are easier to fill in
  • Subscription status now lives in the header chip instead of a full-width banner
  • Trial and paid plans share one 7-day grace period, with expiry reminders at 7, 3 and 1 days and on the day, and a notice when the website goes offline
  • The chat button uses a new round speech-bubble icon
  • Every Help Center topic now has its own page with steps and answers, from connecting a custom domain and the driver's license check to deposits, transfers, coupons, reports and team roles
  • New guides for moving from a spreadsheet and for using Messenger alongside your booking link
  • The chat assistant on our website reads the same help articles, so how-to answers match the pages and come with a link
  • The spreadsheet and Messenger comparison is now two pages, one for each, and the old link redirects
  • Plan details are clearer: custom domain and priority support are listed on Pro, and Xendit now appears with the other payment gateways
  • Removed mentions of rental contract generation, which is not a feature yet

Feature

Quote requests for routes you have not priced

Transfers no longer stall when a customer asks for a route you have not set a price for.

  • Customers can send a quote request for a pickup and drop-off route that has no price yet
  • Flat-rate routes now match by location, so common routes such as an airport transfer price instantly
  • The routes editor is simpler, with the long explanation under each flat-rate route removed
Feature

PayMongo, smoother checkout and clearer billing emails

More ways for customers to pay you, and clearer messages when a subscription payment fails.

  • PayMongo is available as a payment gateway, alongside PayPal and Stripe
  • PayPal and Stripe checkouts open with the customer's details already filled in
  • The gateway settings screen is laid out in a clearer two-by-two grid
  • Tenants are emailed when a subscription payment fails, and a cancelled plan now says why it was cancelled
Improvement

Clearer storefront pricing and a Request Quote button

Fleet cards and vehicle pages now show prices the same way, and bookings with nothing due up front lead with a quote request.

  • Balanced, clearer pricing on fleet cards and the vehicle page, with prices aligned across cards
  • A Request Quote button appears from the first paint when no deposit is due up front
  • Faster fleet pages: cached storefront queries and fewer database lookups
  • Customer documents are now private to the people who should see them
Feature

Pickup & drop-off only rentals

Offer transfers as their own booking type, with the AI chat and storefront updated to match.

  • A new Pickup & Drop-off only rental option for vehicles you offer as transfers
  • The AI chat and storefront understand transfers and quote them by distance
  • The chat inbox shows the AI agent's configured name and logo
  • Unpaid online checkouts stay out of your bookings list, and the booking is announced only once it is paid
Improvement

Branding that follows your plan

Plans that include Business branding now show your own business in the admin sidebar.

  • The admin sidebar uses your logo and business name when your plan includes Business branding
  • When a plan has expired, the booking limit message says "plan expired, renew" instead of "limit reached, upgrade"
Feature

A smarter AI chat assistant

The assistant can look up more of your business before it answers.

  • New chat tools for bookings, rental terms, business status and plan details
  • Richer hand-over alerts when a conversation needs a person
  • Reports and campaigns post into your Platform Support chat
  • Email addresses the provider reports as undeliverable are no longer mailed
Feature

A 7-day grace window when a plan expires

A lapsed renewal no longer closes your booking site the same day.

  • After a plan expires, your storefront stays up for 7 days while the admin is restricted
  • Revenue reports no longer show "requires an upgrade" for a lapsed plan
  • AI receipt scanning and driver's license checks use your own AI provider key
