Built for rental workflows

Practical controls that keep self-service rental secure and paid, without staffing every handover.

Split hours

Morning and afternoon handover windows with a break in between, set per location and per day.

Blackout dates

Close a location for a holiday, an event, or a stocktake in a couple of clicks.

Minimum and maximum length

Stop four-hour hires on a weekly product, or month-long hires on a weekend product.

Return-aware buffers

Turnaround time is set in 15-minute steps, and early returns free up stock sooner.

How it works

Three steps from setup to a working self-service workflow, no counter required.

  1. Set your hours

    Add per-day operating hours for each location, with more than one opening period per day if you close for lunch.

  2. Add limits and closures

    Set minimum and maximum booking lengths, and block one-off closures like public holidays without touching your weekly hours.

  3. Every picker follows them

    Checkout, booking edits, extensions, change requests, and AI support only offer valid hire windows.

Yes. Extensions, reschedules, change requests, staff edits, and the AI support agent all respect your hours, blackout dates, and booking length limits.

Yes. Operating hours and blackout dates are set per location, with multiple periods per day.

Return-aware padding makes the unit available sooner instead of blocking it until the original end time.
