"Can I run all of this from my phone?"
Car rental business owners ask us that a lot. Your cars sit in driveways, at the airport and in parking lots, and a booking rarely comes in while you're at a desk.
Now you can take that booking, check the renter and get paid from your iPhone, right at the car. The 1Now app is free for 1Now members.
What should the best app for a car rental business do?
It should let you handle a whole trip from your phone: book it, get paid, check the renter and see which car is free. The app does all of that in one place.
Book a trip from the lot
A renter calls while you're at the car? Set up the trip before you hang up. Create a booking for a new or returning renter in a few taps. The invoice and the rental agreement are one tap away, along with trip photos, mileage, tolls and any extra drivers.
Get paid before the keys change hands
Charge the card on file, send a checkout link, send an invoice the renter can pay or record cash you took in person. You can also hold a refundable deposit and release it after the trip. Payments run through Stripe or Square.
Change a car's price or rules on the spot
Set daily, weekly and monthly rates, with discounts for longer trips. Set the mileage limit, trip length, advance notice and minimum renter age for each car, without opening your laptop.
Know who is driving your car
Ask for ID verification and proof of insurance before you hand over the keys.
See which car is out and which is free
Every car has its own calendar and booking history. If you also rent on Turo, your Turo bookings show up next to your direct ones, so one screen tells you what's coming up.
How do I get the app?
If you have a 1Now account, it takes about a minute.
Download it free from the App Store on your iPhone.

The app is for iPhone and needs iOS 15 or later.
Who is the app for?
Car rental business owners and hosts with a 1Now account. The app uses the same account as your booking site, so your cars, bookings and renters are the same wherever you sign in.
