Sunny days are back, so make sure you’re ready for the high season!
Here are 5 key things to remember to get your car ready and maximise your bookings:
✅ 1. Do a maintenance check
Ensure drivers are renting your car in its best possible condition. Check the items that may need regular maintenance, such as the tire pressure, signal lights, windscreen cleaner, and oil level. Make sure the interior is clean too to keep your drivers happy.
✅ 2. Set competitive prices
Activating Smart Pricing ensures your car always has the best price to maximise your revenues
Use Smart Pricing to maximise your revenues -- it automatically sets the best price for your car relative to the current supply and demand trends within your area. You’ll also save time with your prices automatically updating based on the evolving conditions of the market. For more on why it’s beneficial to activate Smart Pricing, read this article.
✅ 3. Update your calendar
Searches for rentals in the coming days are already picking up. With the high season approaching, expect bookings for the weekend and even up to one week. Make the most of this peak in demand by freeing up your calendar to make your car available for longer trips.
✅ 4. Activate Instant Booking
If the past years have taught us anything, it’s that plans can change at the drop of a hat. Since it’s much more difficult to plan in advance, more drivers are making last-minute bookings. That means they won’t want to wait for an owner to accept their rental request, so if you don’t have Instant Booking activated, now’s the time.
✅ 5. Provide the right equipment
Warmer days can mean longer holiday trips, with lots of gear to carry. Drivers might need a roof track so they can bring everything they need, and this might help your car be chosen for their ride!
While it’s great to be back on the road, we still need to take health precautions. Providing hand sanitiser and sterilising wipes to your drivers will always be appreciated.
