I love the system so far I am in the end of set up process.

### "Our person \[sensitive content hidden\] & HQ process - Tops!"

October 20, 2023

5.0

Going digital. Less paperwork. Keeping track of our inventory and streaming the process. Our current system was very time consuming as we worked off excel sheets etc. Overall experience has really been excellent from first day of contact, everything went seamless, and you are all very well organized as well. \[sensitive content hidden\] is very attentive, easy to have meetings and conversations with as well. Super friendly and patient.

Pros

We have not had a chance to properly make use of the product at this stage as we are still busy with the setup process. We love all the features offered and are sure this will make our booking, vehicle handover and collection, payment etc. etc. super easy going forward.

Cons

The setup process was the least favourite part, as it takes a lot of time and effort, but it will be worth it... But the fact that you are very well organized with your excel sheets etc. did make this easy.

Reason for choosing HQ Rental Software

Both HQ and Navotar are very similar, but HQ had more features such as the inventory module and commissions partners and most importantly the fact that we could integrate our XERO accounting system.

### "HQ Car Rental"

March 20, 2023

5.0

Very supportive and responsive customer service. Complexity exists because the software is very flexible to your business. It takes sometime to get familiar, but that’s part of what makes it so powerful.

Pros

HQ software is specifically made for car rental. I was using Checkfront and I was happy, but the additional features on HQ were critical. I was using a workaround to document mileage, inspection photos, etc.. With HQ, all of that critical info is part of the standard process and it’s documented on the contract. The app is great and streamlines the pick up/return process.

Cons

Additional percentage fee for using Stripe.No option for people to purchase gift certificates. Probably not used for most rental companies, but I need it for exotic rentals being purchased as gifts.

Check front didn’t allow equipment photos or uploaded documents to the reservation.

### "moving into the 21st century"

March 10, 2024

5.0

Very happy with the software which can be as simple as your like or as detailed as you like and can be set up to your preference.

Pros

The whole process is now automated for us, previously we were all manual. It worked out perfectly for us as it is easy to use and access thru the app for our agents delivering vehicles to resorts/hotels. bookings can be amended and changed with ease. Very versatile software.

Cons

We weren't able to add a payment gateway being a Pacific Island. Some of the functions are not available on the app. Very minor.

Reason for choosing HQ Rental Software

Was attracted to the product from the reviews and after a consultation was happy to proceed. Communication was excellent.

### "A Rental Software you can always count on"

May 6, 2021

5.0

We have upped producibility, solved problems before they happen, prepared for the worst, and the best. HQ rentals makes problems disappear before they even happen!

Pros

This software is so user friendly and the team literally will go to all lengths to program and map anything you need. They have thought of everything!

Cons

This software has no issues at all! It is very adaptable and always easy to move around and customize. However, sometimes the customer service can be lacking in a timely manner, but they have improved that tremendously!

### "Reinventing AmeriDrive"

January 30, 2021

5.0

We found HQ during a very difficult time for our company. Due to the COVID-19 effect, we had to reinvent ourselves, and thanks to HQ we were able to integrate new process as well to cut costs (beyond the software costs) by using their reporting and integration tools. Their software allowed us to optimize our resources and to identify problems faster than any other software that we ha used in the past. Without them, I am not sure that we could have gone through 2020, and all of it at a very reasonable price. I recommend everyone to try them, you will not regret it.

Pros

Very strong back end that has helped us to get a much better grip/control/view and understanding of our fleet performance and effectiveness. Very easy to use and implement. Their team is always open to adapt to our needs and not the other way around. All of this at a very reasonable price. We feel lucky that we found them.

Cons

Some it takes a little long to get an answer with problems, however, I see this as an easy fix.

### "Great line-of-business software"

April 23, 2024

4.0

Pros

I love the fact that it's business for the car rental industry, and that shows in all the options. I think HQ rental is the industry standard. It works, and it works great.

Cons

HQ Rental has a lot of knobs that you can adjust, and you don't always know what every option does. Some options are explained in the knowledge base, others aren't. It could use like a big guide to explain the software in detail. I am not talking about documentation by techs to explain in three words what every setting does, but a real 'book like' document explaining concepts, philosophy behind the software, guiding you through sections, etc.

### "customer service is beyond expectations"

January 11, 2024

5.0

after a horrible and long onboarding attempt with Rentall our experience with HQRental is beyond our expectations.

Pros

The level of customer service provided by \[sensitive content hidden\] is exceptional..It would take months to learn the system without their assistance and knowledge. They handled every issue we had during the onboarding process and customized anything we asked for.

Cons

very quick and easy onboarding process with unbelievable customer service

### "Fantastic Experience!"

July 18, 2023

5.0

Excellent

Pros

My success/relationship advisor \[sensitive content hidden\] is always available to answer my questions and guide me through the problem-solving process. The booking tool is easy to use and learn. The software helps me extend rentals without renters having to travel all the way to the branch, which was what they used to do. The manifest page helps me keep a pulse on which vehicles are due back, overdue or require maintenance.

Cons

I've just started using the system, whenever I have an issue \[sensitive content hidden\] is always available to assist, I haven't come across an issue worth mentioning.

Reason for choosing HQ Rental Software

The system seemed easy to use, and the features were exactly what we looking for, going from a paper based system of management to paperless, was a no-brainer.

It as a slow start but im happy and confident in using the platform.

Pros

I enjoy the capabilities to customize the HQ platform to my company needs.

Cons

We need videos that can help the set up process. I searched YouTube and found not so helpful links. The first couple of days using HQ I thought I made a huge mistake, it seemed very complicated. thankfully, \[sensitive content hidden\] was able to take my last minute appointments and emails to help me through the set up process. At first I was considering in canceling HQ and sticking with the fleet wire platform. Im super grateful for \[sensitive content hidden\] patience and willingness to help.

### "So far, so good"

October 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

We've only been on the system for a few weeks now, but the initial thoughts are great. The software is very powerful and has a lot of flexibility built in. We now have access to features that we never even knew existed. The support team also seems to be quick to respond and able to resolve issues in a timely manner. The onboarding process with \[sensitive content hidden\] went smoothly and we were able to tailor the system to our specific needs.

Cons

So far the hardest part for us has just been getting accustomed to the new system and the work flow. The software is highly customizable so it allows us to make the transition as seamless as possible.

### "What I think about HQ rentals "

April 3, 2023

5.0

It is decent so far

Pros

I love the credit card invoicing. I was having trouble holding guest accountable when they damaged my vehicles which cost me thousands of dollars. I also like the help from the rep and how helpful and enthusiastic my rep \[sensitive content hidden\] was. It help simplify the process by a lot.

Cons

I don’t like how expensive it is. There are way too many unexplained tabs and the app is useless. Uploading photos for individual cars is very confusing. I don’t know if you upload for the class or the individual cars. I also don’t like how the sales reps try to force you into deals. But I got to give it to them they have hustle.

### "Great Software for Car Rental Companies!"

February 14, 2023

5.0

The experience with has been very positive, their team has been extremely helpful during the implementation and configuration process and the system is able to meet almost all of our needs as a car rental company.

Pros

has all of the features that our business needs as a car rental company and is highly configurable to cater to our exact needs. Because it is a Wordpress plugin we are able to plug the booking engine directly into our website for a seamless experience. HQ's support team is very knowledgeable and responsive.

Cons

We use a third party supplemental insurance to offer to our clients during the booking process, it would be great if they were able to plug their API into the reservation process on the website to automate this process.

Cons

It is complicated to set up on your own but they offer excellent support if you want to have them do everything for you. They also have an amazing documentation for set up to assist you. Barely a con.

Overall experience was good. \[sensitive content hidden\] was great helping us configure the system and learning how to best utilize the software.

Pros

Fairly simple process for rental customers/end users. Our business cares most about keeping things clear for our customers as well as our team members.

Cons

As a company with multiple rental locations throughout the US we would love for there to be more consolidation tools where we do not need to have multiple pages for renters in different locations. One drop down or search option for renters that then brings up the vehicles available for their desired rental zone.

We now have a seamless online booking platform. No more manually emailing quotes, and manually creating bookings! Customers can now book online, pay online, and upload their documents too.

Pros

The migration team was excellent, made the move from previous software to HQ as easy as possible. Always responded in a timely manner. Software is easy to use and so customizable.

Cons

Integrating our Payment Gateway was difficult and took weeks. We could have used more support, information, and assistance to get connected with the correct Payment Gateway. Authorize.net ended up being the one that worked in the USVI.
