Car hire: bookings, licences and damage checks without the paperwork. Commission-free direct bookings.
Bookings through aggregators that take a cut, paper agreements and damage disputes with no photos. We build direct booking and fleet systems for car hire businesses.
Looking for car hire booking software?
Independent car hire companies lose margin to aggregators and time to paperwork. We build direct booking systems with digital agreements and photo condition checks.
Wollopit builds booking systems, stock feeds, quoting tools and websites for car hire companies around how your workshop or yard actually runs. We connect the systems you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to the work.

Does your car hire business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your car hire business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things car hire companies ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we keep some aggregator bookings too?
Yes. We can keep availability in sync so you take direct bookings without double booking aggregator ones.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your car hire business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can you work with our existing workshop or dealer software?
Usually, yes. We build around what's working and connect it to your website, bookings and accounts. If something is holding you back we'll show you the options before anything changes.
Can customers get text updates?
Yes. Booking confirmations, progress updates, quotes to approve and 'ready to collect' messages can all go out by SMS automatically.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most car hire companies we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
