Small car, scooter and bike hire businesses take bookings in advance, hold deposits, and sometimes add charges for fuel or late returns. Many of their customers are visitors who do not carry local cash. A payments app that handles bookings, deposits and refunds can win these firms and put your app in front of every visitor they serve.

Take bookings and deposits by link
Send a payment link when a customer books, with the full cost and deposit shown before they pay, so there are no surprises at pick-up.

Make returns and refunds clear
When the vehicle comes back, the firm can return the deposit or add any agreed extra in a few taps, with a receipt for both sides.
Grow with the tourist trade
Hire firms work alongside guesthouses and tour guides. Win one and the others can follow, because they share the same visitors.
