About DriveNow

DriveNow handles the full rental cycle: search, quote, booking, contract, handover and return.

Customers pick pickup and return dates and locations, and the site shows only vehicles actually available for that window, with a live price that already includes the duration, the season and any extras.

The fleet dashboard is the operational core: a calendar per vehicle, maintenance blocks, mileage tracking, contract generation and a return checklist with damage notes.

Business use case

Car rental runs on availability: a double-booked vehicle is a lost customer and a refund. DriveNow tracks every vehicle's calendar, so the website only offers cars genuinely free for the requested dates, and the dashboard shows what is out, what is due back and what is in maintenance.

Who is this for?

Car rental agencies, van and utility rental, luxury and chauffeur fleets, and rent-to-own operators.

    No more double bookings

    That alone was worth it. The calendar per car is exactly how we think about the fleet.

    Generating the contract from the booking removed all the retyping.
