IOS Rentals

Description

IOS Rentals is a web based booking software for almost any kind of vehicle. The following vehicle types are supported: cars, motorcycles, scooters, ATV/Quads, buggies, bicycles, yachts/boats and other. To use it you only need a web browser on your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or your mobile phone. The interface suits any screen resolution. IOS Rentals can be used as an office back-end application for rent-a-car companies want just to add their reservations manually and/or as an online booking software where all the booking and payment process is performed automatically.

IOS Rentals is a multi-user application. The system administrator create accounts for rental companies and each rental company can have multiple users with login access only to their own company. Each company has its own settings, methods of payments, etc. The data (vehicles, bookings, etc) are completely separated and private for each company. A user of company A cannot access the control panel of company B and the opposite. Only site managers and administrators can access the control panels of all companies.

Is Open Source provides you with ready to use plugins for Wordpress, Elxis CMS and standard PHP sites. Plugins for other systems (Joomla, Drupal, etc) will be available soon or can be developed after request. You install the plugin in a web site, configure its connection parameters and the plugin gets connected to IOS Rentals via a secure connection. Via this connection data gets exchanged between the third party site and IOS Rentals. Visitors can perform searches for vehicles and make reservations from your web site and without visiting the site IOS Rentals is installed. The connection is completely transparent. You can view some screenshots of IOS Rentals control panel or visit the demo site to see it live.
