ATOM's rental platform is designed for cases where your service would benefit from using a pre-booking calendar in the mobile apps - basically, this is a digitised classic vehicle rental that lets customers manage the process remotely and simply arrive at the pre-booked time and place to pick up their vehicle and start their journey.

How it works:

The customer selects the pick-up and return area (you will have an option to predefine them in the dashboard under More -> Zones -> Parking zones):

Then the customer selects start and end time of the rental from the calendar:

After confirming the selection, the app will show a summary that can be further edited if necessary. If the data is correct, client presses Show available vehicles to see a list of vehicles to choose from:

After the customer confirms by pressing Book & Pay, he pays upfront for the selected period:

Pricing can be set up in the dashboard based on the vehicle and can consist of different parameters, such as fixed price, price per minute, price per hour, price per day and optional distance-based fee. System will combine the cheapest option for the user based on these pricing settings. For example, if the user rents for 30 days, daily pricing will be applied instead of hourly or minute pricing to offer best possible rate to the user.

The user will have access to the car 5 minutes before planned rental time - so he/she can unlock the vehicle, inspect it and start the ride.

10 min before the rental ends the user will receive a reminder to return the vehicle back to the parking area. If the user continues the ride, then additional fees will be charged and calculated the moment the user ends the ride in the return location.

Vehicles, vehicle models, add-ons, stations/zones, tutorials and other rules must be set up in a separate dashboard designed for the Rental module.

Additional parameters that are exclusive to the Rental module and can be set up in your dashboard under More -> Settings -> System preferences are:
- time gap between two bookings (can be used to have a fixed gap between two bookings of the same vehicle to maintain and clean it);
- minimum and maximum rental period - the rental period is adjustable for your vehicle model - it can be a minimum of 15 minutes and a few days maximum or, for example, designed for long-term rental with a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of a few months.

NB! A vehicle from the Rental module is also visible in the Service app to manage and maintain in case you're onboarded with our Standard plan where access to the service app is included.
