Owner Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Affordable rental fleet management" September 15, 2026 5.0 \[sensitive content hidden\] was great to work with and had excellent communication and follow up. I would highly recommend HQ \[sensitive content hidden\] to anyone looking for a good option to manage their rental fleet. Pros Easy and fast to get running without an overly complicated enterprise system. Online booking directly from DriveReadyAuto.com, so you could build your own customer base rather than depend entirely on Turo. Self-Service rental workflow — especially the ability to combine HQ with Vouched for driver’s-license/identity verification, selfies, insurance verification, contracts, and payments. Stripe integration, allowing you to use your existing Stripe account for direct rentals. Fleet/calendar management that made sense for your roughly 10-vehicle operation. Custom rental agreements and maintenance tracking, both important as you moved toward direct rentals. Price — roughly $120/month for up to 10 vehicles at the time we compared it, which was substantially more attractive than some of the heavier systems. Cons Insurance was still the big problem. HQ could collect insurance information, but it didn't solve your central goal of providing/validating renter coverage in the way you wanted—especially having the renter pay for protection rather than Drive Ready Auto absorbing that cost. Driver/identity verification required another service. We discussed using Vouched alongside HQ rather than having everything truly built into one platform. Extra integrations meant extra cost and complexity. HQ's base price looked good, but Stripe, identity verification, insurance-related services, and other add-ons could turn a ~$120/month system into a more expensive stack. Some automation wasn't as turnkey as you wanted. Your goal was essentially: customer books → verifies identity/license → verifies or buys insurance → signs agreement → pays/deposit → gets pickup instructions, with very little intervention from you. You wanted one system to do everything. HQ came fairly close on rental operations, but you still had to piece together several outside services. Alternatives considered [Rent Centric](https://www.capterra.com/p/92382/Rent-Centric/) Reason for choosing HQ Rental Software What I liked most about HQ Rental Software was that it gave Drive Ready Auto the right balance of capability, simplicity, and price.

Business Development Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User-Friendly Rental Management Software with Excellent Support" August 31, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with HQ Rental Software has been very positive. The team has been extremely helpful and responsive throughout the process, and the system itself is intuitive and user-friendly. It has helped us streamline our operations and manage our rental business more effectively. I would confidently recommend HQ Rental Software to other rental companies looking for a reliable and easy-to-use management solution. Pros What I liked most about HQ Rental Software is how easy it is to use. The platform allows us to efficiently manage both our fleet information and reservations from a single system. Additionally, our onboarding and training experience was excellent. \[sensitive content hidden\] provided clear guidance and support, helping us quickly understand and make the most of the software's features. Cons At this stage, I have not found any features or aspects of the software that I consider unnecessary or unhelpful. The platform has met our operational needs very well. Alternatives considered [RentalWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/143362/RentalWorks/) Reason for choosing HQ Rental Software We evaluated several rental management solutions before making our decision. Ultimately, we chose HQ Rental Software because of its user-friendly interface, ease of use, and the way it simplifies daily fleet and reservation management. In addition, the fact that HQ Rental Software has received industry recognition and awards as a leading rental management system gave us further confidence that we were investing in a reliable and proven solution. Review Source AG Azhar G. Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING SUPPORT EXPERIENCE" July 27, 2025 1.0 Overall, the experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. The lack of customer service is a serious problem. I needed to book for a new customer, but their billing system failed — and no one responded from Sales or Support despite multiple emails. This is unacceptable for any software claiming to serve a business-critical function. It’s impossible to run a business when basic support and reliability are missing. I expected far better. Pros The software might be helpful if live support were actually available. In theory, the features seem promising, but without timely communication during outages or issues, it's impossible to rely on it. We need to be informed when there’s downtime so we can plan accordingly — sadly, that doesn't happen. Cons You’re completely on your own when something goes wrong. The platform is not user-friendly, and instead of focusing on business, we’re forced to spend time figuring out bugs and workarounds. Customer support is virtually non-existent, and it feels like they’ve abandoned users when help is most needed. Emails go unanswered, and there’s no urgency or accountability in resolving issues.

September 8, 2026 5.0 Im very satisfied at the end you learn how to operate the system and you start to gain more confidence on how to set up different areas of the system. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] was absolutly amazing he walked me thru all my transition from my previous provider to HQ car rental Software. Cons a bit technical but manageble on the setup part, each key tab or label should have a little tab that describes and gives you more insides on how you can setup this info should be more detailed not just a few lines , the system should let you know the actions you need to correct an error or miss configuration and at the end if you cant still fix the issue it should sugest to contact Support immediately. Switched from [Booqable](https://www.capterra.com/p/138689/Booqable/) the support was obsolete , was paying just for a fancy Calendar, not much specific info or data related for a car rental.

Founder Automotive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great customer service" September 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with HQ Rental Software has been great so far. From the initial sales conversations through the training process, the team has been professional, helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our needs and provided clear information about the system and its capabilities. Although we are still gaining experience with the software and have not yet encountered every situation that may arise during daily operations, I feel positive about moving forward. My main expectation is that the system works reliably and that the excellent level of customer support continues after implementation. So far, I am very satisfied with the experience. Pros The team was very professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to understand our needs and answer all of our questions. The sales process was clear and straightforward, and the training provided a good introduction to the system and its capabilities. I especially appreciated the personalized attention and the willingness of the team to help us understand how the software could support our rental operation. So far, the experience with the people behind the software has been excellent and has given me confidence in moving forward. Cons At this stage, I have not identified any significant disadvantages with HQ Rental Software. We are still in the process of implementing and becoming familiar with the system, so I believe it is too early to provide a fair assessment of potential limitations. My main expectation is that the software performs reliably once we are fully operational and that the same level of customer support we experienced during the sales and training process continues when we encounter questions, technical issues, or unexpected situations. For now, I would consider this section “to be determined” as we gain more experience using the platform in our daily operations.

All in all they have a great system at a very reasonable price point for a small guy like us. Pros Software is pretty easy to use and learn how to operate. As with any new software it takes time but the help from the support staff and the Knowledge Base will answer most questions. Cons The least thing we liked about HQ is of course, learning to use something new when you were used to another system. I wish the system retained information already entered when you switch from tab to tab when completing a reservation or rental.

The system (once you get it) is easy to navigate and management of the fleet. Cons The cost is high and not flexible.
