Online booking with real-time availability for a vehicle rental
Customers booking online against the same availability the counter sees.
- Real-time availability search
- Instant reservation
- Rate rules by period and category
- Online deposit payment
The problem
The website took enquiries, not bookings, and staff confirmed availability by phone after checking a separate system. Customers frequently found their requested vehicle was gone by the time anyone called back.
What we built
We built online booking against the live availability position, with the reservation held at the moment of booking rather than after a manual confirmation.
