Car rental software for small and independent fleets
See every car and booking on one fleet chart. Manage reservations, check cars out and back in, set seasonal rates, and take direct bookings on your own website, whether you run 5 cars or 50.
Where small rental fleets lose time and money
Most independent operators start with a spreadsheet, a pad of paper contracts and a phone. That works until the fleet, the team or the season gets bigger.
Spreadsheets only one person understands
Availability lives in Excel or Google Sheets, kept up to date by whoever built it. Every phone inquiry means scrolling rows and tabs while the customer waits on the line.
Double bookings at the counter
The booking sheet says a car is free because nobody updated it after the last phone call. Two customers are promised the same car, you find out when the second one arrives, and you either pay for an upgrade or lose the booking.
Revenue lost to flat prices and idle days
The same daily rate in August and November, cars standing idle because nobody noticed the gap, and online inquiries that go elsewhere while you check what is free.
Paper damage reports and disputes
Condition notes on paper, photos on someone's phone. When a renter disputes a scratch or a fuel charge at return, there is no single record to point to.
One rental management system, from reservation to return
NordFleet brings fleet management, reservations, pricing and paperwork into one place, so the counter, the phone and your website all work from the same data.
Fleet Chart: Your Availability Calendar
Every car is a row, grouped by vehicle class, with rentals and reservations as color-coded bars on a timeline. Spot idle gaps between bookings at a glance, switch between week and six-month views, and click an empty slot to start a booking.
Learn more →Reservation Management
Book by vehicle group, then confirm, convert to a rental, cancel or mark a no-show. The reservation form lists which cars in the group have no overlapping rental.
Learn more →Vehicle Check-Out and Check-In
Hand over the car with the odometer reading, deposit and payment method recorded. At return, a guided check-in captures fuel, mileage, condition ratings and damage notes.
Learn more →Direct Bookings on Your Website
The booking API lets your website check availability by vehicle group and quote prices from your rate cards, then sends each booking to your dashboard as a pending reservation.
Learn more →Seasonal Rates and Pricing
Daily, weekly and monthly rates per vehicle group, with start and end dates for each season. Website quotes switch to weekly or monthly rates automatically for longer rentals.
Learn more →Rental Agreements and Invoices
Print-ready PDF agreements, invoices and reservation confirmations, filled in with the rental details, your company information and your own terms.
Learn more →Driver Records
Name, contact details, license number and expiry, and ID document number for every renter, searchable and ready for their next rental.
Payments and Deposits
Record the deposit, payment method and payment status on each rental, and add extra charges such as fuel or cleaning at return before the final invoice.
Maintenance, Insurance and Fuel
Schedule service with costs and vendors, keep every insurance policy on file with expiring ones flagged 30 days ahead, and log each fill-up.
Learn more →Team Roles
Owner, Manager, Agent and Viewer roles, with separate rental and fleet agents. Unlimited team members on every plan.
Learn more →Today at a Glance
The dashboard lists today's pickups and returns, flags overdue rentals, and shows how many cars are available or out on rent.
Take direct bookings on your own website
Bookings made on your own website carry no booking-platform commission. NordFleet's booking API lets your site check availability, show a price from your rate cards and submit the booking, which lands in your dashboard as a pending reservation for your team to confirm.
- ✓ Availability by vehicle group, never individual cars or plates
- ✓ Price quotes from your own rate cards, valid for 30 minutes
- ✓ Pending reservations with an API badge, confirmed by your team
- ✓ Keys limited to booking operations, browser use locked to your domains
Built for independent rental operators, not enterprise chains
NordFleet is built around the everyday work of a rental counter: the phone call asking for an estate car on the 14th, the walk-in at closing time, the late return that blocks the next booking. It is made for owner-run fleets that need clear answers fast, without a months-long IT project.

Built for Europe's tourism rental markets
Independent rental companies in holiday destinations share the same rhythm: a few intense months, airport and port handovers, and travelers who expect to book online before they arrive.
Greece
Greek operators work a long season that builds from Easter to the summer peak, often with island fleets meeting ferries and flights. Give peak weeks their own rate card with start and end dates, and follow every pickup and return on the fleet chart.
Croatia
On the Adriatic coast, demand concentrates in July and August and week-long rentals are common. Website quotes use your weekly rate from seven days, prices are in euros, and your VAT rate is added to every rental.
Spain
From the Balearics and the Costa del Sol to the year-round Canary Islands, Spanish seasons differ by coast. Because every rate card has its own dates, your prices follow your local calendar instead of a national average.
Italy, Portugal and the rest of Europe
Wherever small fleets serve travelers, the job is the same: know which car is free, price the season, and turn website visitors into bookings. The booking API works with any website, in whatever languages your site already speaks.
Questions operators ask before switching
Setup has two parts. After a short conversation about your fleet, our team creates your NordFleet account on its own company subdomain. You then add your vehicle groups, cars and rates, which takes one short form per car and per rate. There is nothing to install: NordFleet runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone.
Yes. Most operators start by adding their vehicle groups and cars, then enter upcoming reservations and keep the old spreadsheet read-only for reference. If you have a lot of data in another system, talk to our team about moving it across.
Per vehicle, never per user. The Rental and Fleet Management modules are priced separately, and combining them saves 15%. Fleets of up to 3 vehicles are free forever. The Rental module then costs €25 per month for 4-7 vehicles, €50 for 8-15, €50 plus €3 per vehicle above 15 for up to 50 vehicles, and €155 plus €2 per vehicle above 50.
Yes. The workflow is the same at any size: vehicle groups, a fleet chart, reservations and rentals. Five cars fall into the Micro plan and fifty into Growth, and every plan includes all features of its module and unlimited team members.
Yes, through the NordFleet booking API. Your web developer connects your website once, so customers can check availability, get a price from your rate cards and submit a booking. Each booking arrives in your dashboard as a pending reservation for your team to confirm.
Seasonal rates, yes. Each vehicle group can have several rate cards with start and end dates, and the rate valid on the pickup date prices the whole rental. Quotes for website bookings switch to your weekly rate from 7 days and your monthly rate from 30 days, and at the counter your staff can adjust the daily rate for longer rentals. NordFleet does not change prices by itself based on demand (dynamic pricing): you set every rate, and each rental keeps the rate it was created with.
When a customer collects a car, the reservation becomes a rental on that specific vehicle. A PostgreSQL exclusion constraint then rejects any other rental on the same car for overlapping dates, even if two staff members try at the same moment. Reservations themselves may overlap, so assigning a car to each one shows on the fleet chart exactly which cars are booked.
At check-out you choose the car, and NordFleet records the pickup odometer, deposit and payment method. At return, a guided check-in records mileage, fuel level, exterior, interior and tire condition and any damage notes, adds extra charges, recalculates the rental charge for the actual days, and prints the return condition on the rental agreement.
The Rental module runs the rental business: fleet chart, reservations, check-out and check-in, driver records, pricing, PDF documents and the booking API. The Fleet Management module covers vehicle upkeep: maintenance, insurance policies and fuel logs. Use either on its own, or combine both and save 15%.
Yes. You enter them once in settings: your logo, company and bank details and payment instructions appear on invoices, your rental terms print on every rental agreement, and your terms and conditions appear on reservation confirmations.
Yes. With 3 or fewer vehicles you pay nothing, with no trial period and no credit card. You get the same features as the paid plans of the same module.
