Price each hire by day and distance.
Tourist vehicle operators hire out coaches, minibuses and vans by the day, kilometre or package, and no two quotes carry the same night halt or extra pickup. Each hire is one booking. The booking holds its quote, advance, vehicle, driver and route, while trip sheets, tolls and driver allowances close against it and permit dates are watched per vehicle.
An operator rents out seats on wheels. No two hires are priced alike. One group wants a van under a daily distance cap, and another wants a coach for a wedding transfer with a night halt and an extra pickup. Every quote bends a little.
Fleet software for tourist vehicle operators puts the hire on one record from the first enquiry call, with the quote, the advance, the vehicle and the driver attached. The trip sheet closes the hire when the coach returns, the odometer is read and the final bill is paid in full by the customer.
Enquiries come from travel agents, hotels, wedding planners, schools and direct callers, and the desk quotes each from a rate card of distance, extra kilometre rate and night halt. An advance is taken against the booking. A second enquiry for the same date arrives that afternoon, and someone must check which coach is free and which driver holds the right licence class.
On the road, the driver carries a trip sheet recording starting and ending odometer, toll receipts, parking, inter-region permit fees and every halt along the way. On return, the accounts clerk checks the sheet against the quote and raises the final bill, and agents are paid commission at month end. In the yard, workshop staff track tyre wear, service intervals, brake pad changes, air-conditioning repairs, permit renewals and insurance for each vehicle.

Read the case studyQuestions tourist vehicle operators ask before they call.
Can it price daily hire and package hire?
Yes. A rate card holds daily distance limits, extra distance charges, night halts and package totals for each vehicle type, and a quote picks the matching rule by itself. Staff do not do the sums.
How does it stop a vehicle being booked twice?
Every confirmed booking holds the vehicle for its dates on a shared calendar, and a second quote touching the same days warns the desk before it goes out.
Can we pay agents a commission per booking?
Yes. Each agent has a rule, such as a fixed amount or a share of the hire charge, and the month-end statement lists each booking behind the total.
What if a driver is away for a week?
The trip carries on and the paperwork follows. The advance and every expense are written on the trip sheet and settled on return, and the office notes any mid-trip top-up when the money is sent. Late receipts are added afterwards.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
