Your first booking in five steps

Create your account and choose a plan, or start the free trial when one is open.
Add a vehicle with photos, its daily rate and the details customers ask about.
Choose how customers pay you, such as GCash, bank transfer or an online gateway on plans that include it.
Check your branding and website content so the booking page looks like your business.
Share your booking link or QR code on Facebook, Messenger and anywhere customers find you.

What you get on day one

Every account comes with a branded booking website on a free subdomain, a customer portal, an admin dashboard and email notifications. Customers browse your fleet, see live availability for their dates and send a booking request at any hour.

Do you need technical skills?

No. The dashboard is built for rental owners, not developers. If you would rather not set it up yourself, our team can set up your fleet and branding for you. Ask on the contact page.

Moving over from a spreadsheet or Messenger

You do not have to switch everything at once. Run one vehicle through the system, confirm it behaves the way you expect, then add the rest. Contact us if you want help moving your fleet and existing bookings over.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a credit card to start?

Not for the free trial when one is open. Nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends. The pricing page always shows the current offer.

What do I need before I sign up?

Your business name, the vehicles you want to list with their photos and daily rates, and the payment details you want customers to use.

How long does it take to get my booking website live?

You can add your first vehicle, set its rates and share your booking link in one sitting. Our team can also set up your fleet and branding for you; ask on the contact page.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. The admin dashboard is built for rental owners, not developers. You manage vehicles, bookings, payments and your website content without writing code.

Can I move my bookings from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Start with one car and add the rest when you are ready, or contact us and we will help move your fleet and existing bookings over.
