A car hire booking system with M-Pesa built in
Take a booking, get paid by M-Pesa, hand over the car and take it back, all on the same record. No double-bookings, no chasing payments across chats.
From enquiry to keys in minutes
Every reservation lives on one record, from the first call to the car coming back.
- Clash-free reservations: The system refuses a booking that overlaps another on the same car.
- Pickups and returns calendar: See what goes out and what comes back, day by day.
- Handover with evidence: Odometer, fuel level and condition photos at check-out and check-in.
- Late returns counted: Return time and late fees per started hour are part of the record.
Paid before the car leaves
Payment is part of the booking, not a separate chase.
- M-Pesa prompts: Send a payment prompt from the booking; the customer approves it on their phone.
- Cash recorded too: Counter payments sit next to M-Pesa ones, so the totals add up.
- Outstanding at a glance: See what's still owed on live bookings.
- App bookings in the same place: Bookings from the Ardena car rental app arrive alongside your own, with renter messages.
Questions
Can customers pay by M-Pesa?
Yes. Staff send an M-Pesa payment prompt from any booking and the customer approves it on their phone. Cash payments can be recorded too.
Does it prevent double-bookings?
Yes. A booking that overlaps an existing one on the same car is refused automatically.
Can renters book online?
Businesses can list cars on the Ardena car rental app, where renters book and pay. Those bookings appear in the same dashboard.
