Sample data

How vehicle hire gets booked.

Car and bakkie hire runs on two dates, pick-up and return, and on knowing exactly which vehicle is going where.

  1. Each vehicle is its own resourceBook the actual vehicle, by registration, so two customers are never promised the same bakkie.
  2. Pick-up to returnCustomers choose a date range on your booking page. The vehicle is blocked for every day in between.
  3. Off the road for a serviceMark service days, repairs or licence renewals as closed, and nobody can book the vehicle then.
  4. A deposit before the keysAsk for a deposit when the rental is booked, worked out to the cent.
  5. The rental becomes an invoiceOne step turns the booking into an invoice on the customer’s record, ready for your books.

Questions owners ask

Can BX1X stop the same car being rented out twice?

Yes. Each vehicle has its own calendar and BX1X won't let two rentals overlap on it, whether the booking comes from your website or your team.

Can customers book a vehicle online?

Yes. Add the BX1X booking page to your website or share a link. Customers choose pick-up and return dates and book a vehicle that is free for the whole rental.

Can I block a vehicle while it's being serviced?

Yes. Block the days it is off the road and nobody can book it then.

Can I ask for a deposit on a rental?

Yes. Set a deposit when the rental is booked and BX1X works it out to the cent. The rental turns into an invoice on the customer's record in one step.

Does BX1X track where my vehicles are?

No. BX1X doesn't do vehicle tracking. It keeps the booking calendar, the customer record, the invoices and the books for your hire business.

Put the whole fleet on one calendar.
