For car rental shops and multi-branch rental chains
SMS for car rental Pick-ups on time, returns never late
Enter the booking once. We confirm it, ask for the flight number, remind the renter to bring documents, say the car is ready, remind them to return it and confirm the deposit refund. Every message ends with the right branch phone.
From 390 THB a month, VAT and plan SMS included. We set it up for you.

Renters arrive without documents
No licence or credit card, no handover. A documents reminder goes out at 18:00 the day before pick-up.
Late returns wreck the next booking
A reminder 3 hours before return with the branch number to extend, and a follow-up 30 minutes after if the car is not back.
Delayed flights, cars waiting
Airport bookings without a flight number get a request 4 days before pick-up.

What you get
Many branches, airport desks too
Pick up and return at different branches. Messages end with the phone of the branch the renter needs; staff see only their own branch.
Today screen for the counter
Pick-ups, returns, cars out, cars free, overdue returns, deposits to refund, tolls and contracts ending, on one page.
Import bookings from Excel
Keep your booking software. Export to Excel and import; re-importing the same file never duplicates and never sends old messages.
Foreign renters
English SMS for English-speaking renters, and service messages by email for guests without a Thai number.
Holiday sales
New Year, Songkran and long weekends: when to send, with last year's renters for the same dates at the top.
Reports by branch
Extensions after a return reminder, bookings from returning customers, pick-up rate and SMS cost, per branch.
Questions we get
Does it work with our current rental software?
Yes. Export bookings to Excel or CSV and import them. Bookings are matched by booking number, so importing again never duplicates.
What about guests without a Thai number?
Tick "no Thai number" and add an email. Service messages then go by email, with no SMS credit used.
We have 40 branches. Do we pay per branch?
No. Beyond 15 branches there is one flat price for unlimited branches; SMS is charged for what you send.
Do toll or fine notices look like scam SMS?
We never send amounts or the word "fine", and never links. The toll notice asks the renter to call the branch.
