How it works
One rental, from request to settled.
Six steps, in the order they happen. Every screen below is the running product on a demonstration fleet — nothing here is a mockup.
01/Request
A booking lands in a queue, already holding the car.
A renter picks their dates on your storefront and sees a quote for those dates, not a rate card they have to do arithmetic on. The request arrives holding the vehicle, so the same car cannot be promised twice while you think about it.
You see who, which car, which dates, what it comes to and how long they have been waiting. Confirm or decline. Cars you are happy to let go without asking can be set to book instantly instead.
02/Today
One screen that knows what today needs.
Cars in turnaround with the work still outstanding on each. Rentals starting this week with what is not ready yet. Nothing on the page is stored — every row is recomputed from the state of the fleet when the page loads, so it never describes a problem you fixed last week and there is no queue for anyone to groom.
Three cars in turnaround, each listing the work still outstanding on it. 03/Handover
The car does not leave until it is ready.
Before the keys move, Zuleke checks the things that get forgotten and declines to pretend they are done: agreement signed, balance settled, deposit authorised, identity verified, cleaned and refuelled. Each one is a line with a reason, rather than a badge reading “3 issues” that makes you open the booking to find out which three.
You can still hand the car over. You will simply be doing it knowing exactly what you waived. Then the odometer, the fuel or charge, photographs panel by panel, notes on anything already there — and one button records the baseline and puts the car on rent.
Five reasons this car is not ready, each one nameable. 04/On rent
Charges land as they happen, and every line multiplies out.
Extras, delivery, tolls, citations, cleaning. Three days at $189.00. 170 miles over 450 at $0.65. The quantity, the unit price and the amount all sit on the line, and a line where those three disagree is refused — your own add-charge form is held to that rule as strictly as the automatic ones.
Tax is recomputed from the taxable lines every time a charge changes. Nobody types a total, so a renter who queries the bill gets an answer they can check for themselves.
The total is the sum of the lines, and cannot be typed over. 05/Return
Evidence, rather than recollection.
A second inspection against the first. Mileage over the allowance is computed from the two odometer readings instead of being argued about, and lands on the ledger as a line like any other.
If the car came back damaged, one button builds a PDF for the insurer: the vehicle and its VIN, both inspections with their readings, the condition notes, the findings and the photographs — before and after, the same panel. Where something was not recorded, the report says so in as many words.
Built from the two inspections, ready to send to an assessor. 06/Settle
Paid into your own account, and counted per car.
The balance goes to the card on file, or a payment link goes to the renter. Either way the money lands in your own Stripe account — Zuleke is not a middleman holding your takings and releasing them on a schedule it sets.
Then it shows up per vehicle: booked, collected, outstanding, spent and net, over thirty days, ninety days or a year. Net is collected less what was spent on that car, and the page says plainly that this is not profit — it ignores the cost of the car, your time, and the expenses not tied to one vehicle.
Per vehicle, counted by booking start date.
Three things it will not let you do.
Most software is sold on what it allows. These are the parts that hold when the day is busy and somebody is in a hurry.
Type over a total
Every total is the sum of its charge lines. There is no editable total field anywhere in the product, and a line whose quantity and unit price contradict its amount is rejected by the database rather than caught in a report later.
Hand a car over quietly
An unsigned agreement, an unpaid balance, an unauthorised deposit, an unverified licence, an unfinished turnaround — each is named on the handover screen. You can override any of them. You cannot fail to see them.
Leave a gap unmarked
Where an inspection reading or a photograph is missing, the damage report says so instead of printing a tidy blank. A gap an assessor can see is worth more than a document that implies a check nobody made.
Run your next rental this way.
Set up your fleet, publish your storefront, and take your first booking the same afternoon.
Pay monthly, or get 2 months free when you pay for the year.
