★ Free WordPress plugin · No credit card required

The best free car rental WordPress plugin.

Fleet management, online bookings, payments, customer portal — running on the WordPress site you already own. Free forever for fleets up to 3 cars. No platform lock-in, no data hostage, no per-booking fees.

Why a plugin and not a platform?

Most car rental software companies want to host you. They want your bookings on their platform, your customer data in their database, your traffic on their domain.

We took the opposite bet. RentoNova lives where your business already lives — on your WordPress site, your domain, your hosting. You own the data. You own the customer relationship. You own the SEO juice from years of writing about your destination, your fleet, your market.

If you ever want to leave RentoNova, you don't have to migrate a website. You just stop using the plugin. Your site, your bookings history, your customers — all still yours.

Fleet management

Every vehicle in one place. Photos, daily/weekly/monthly rates, deposit amounts, mileage caps, fuel policies. Track maintenance schedules, insurance renewals, registration expirations — get alerts before they lapse.

Booking widget

A clean, fast booking flow that drops onto any page with a shortcode. Customers pick dates, choose a car, pay a deposit, and receive a confirmation — all without leaving your site.

  • ✓ Real-time availability
  • ✓ Mobile-optimized
  • ✓ Pickup/return location selector
  • ✓ Optional add-ons (GPS, child seat, extra driver)

Payments

Connect your Stripe or PayPal account in two clicks. Accept deposits at booking, charge balances at pickup, hold authorizations for damages. We don't take a cut — processing fees go directly to Stripe or PayPal.

Customer database

Every customer, every booking, every license and ID — searchable, exportable, GDPR-compliant. No third-party CRM needed. Repeat customers get a streamlined re-booking flow.

Email automation

Booking confirmations, pickup reminders, return follow-ups, review requests. Customizable templates in every supported language. Your branding, your tone.

Multi-language

English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese — front-end and back-end. Booking emails go out in the customer's language automatically, based on the page they booked from.

Multi-currency

Display prices in USD, XCG, EUR, COP, or BRL. Charge in the currency that makes sense for your market — not whichever one Silicon Valley defaults to.

Reports

Revenue per vehicle, occupancy rates, peak season trends, top customer segments. Export to CSV or sync directly to your accounting software.
