Requested by a customer
Edit a booking that follows another trip
A booking that starts soon after another trip on the same car can now be extended, shortened, or edited.
Numbered cards and return spots on the daily board
Each pickup and return is numbered, and return cards show where the car comes back. Booking details copy the full booking ID in one click.
Prices with cents save exactly as you type them
A daily rate of $19.99 now stays $19.99.
Read a stuck Turo email again
If a Turo email stopped retrying, reset it from your Turo Sync page and it is read on the next run.
Set up for you
Pause same-day bookings with one switch

Add a renter by email, phone, or name. Bookings that match the list are refused on your site and on staff bookings.
Requested by a customer
Run the daily board from your phone

Requested by a customerCar rental reservation system
Stricter contact details at checkout

Requested by a customer
Turo trip changes carry extras
When extras change on a Turo trip, the trip in your dashboard updates too. Extras that match none of yours are held for you to check.
Set up for you
Booking emails in your own words
Your pickup, return, and policy wording fills your booking emails, and renters' replies can come straight to you.
Set up for you
Settings you can change yourself
Change your business name, support phone and email, and who gets new-booking emails, without asking us. You also choose which page opens when you sign in: overview, daily board, bookings, or payments.
List actions that fit a phone
The actions on each row of your lists open from one button, so tables fit on a phone screen.
Promo codes now lower taxes and fees too
When a renter uses a promo code, taxes and fees are worked out on the discounted price, so nobody pays tax on a discount.
Requested by a customer
The fleet calendar fits your phone
The calendar and its filters fit phone screens, with no clipped dates or wasted space.
Read and answer messages from the preview
Open a renter's message thread in the preview window and reply from there.
Booking volume and fleet utilization charts
The overview charts bookings over time and how much of your fleet is out on rent.
Google Ads counts each booking once
If a renter refreshes or reopens their confirmation page, Google Ads no longer records another sale.
Set up for you
Booking emails that read well on a phone
Confirmation and other renter emails have proper margins and spacing on small screens.
Confirmation emails go out right after payment
Renters get their confirmation as soon as their payment goes through, instead of on the next scheduled run.
A page for every car
Each car has its own page in the dashboard that shows when it is booked or blocked, next to an Edit button.
An overview with numbers you can act on
The dashboard home shows today's pickups and returns, what needs attention, revenue by day, and your top cars.
Your search titles and descriptions on every page
The search title and description set for each page of your site now appear on every public page.
Agreements wait for payment and use your local times
Rental agreements go out only when nothing is owed, and pickup and return times on the agreement match your time zone.
Set up for you
Capture part of a deposit hold
Capture less than the full hold, for example the cost of a cleaning, and the rest goes back to the renter's card.
Block-offs start as all day
New block-offs default to the whole day, so a quick block needs no time picking.
Requested by a customer
Place a deposit hold from the booking
Put a security deposit hold on the renter's card from the booking, then capture or release it when the car comes back. Nothing is charged until you capture.
A refreshed look for booking sites
Our booking-site themes got cleaner spacing, type, and buttons. Your words, photos, and colors stay as they are.
Pickup reminder emails
Renters who booked on your site or by phone get a reminder email 24 hours before pickup. Turo trips are left to Turo.
Turo changes apply in the order Turo sent them
When Turo sends several updates for one trip, the latest one wins, and a cancelled trip stays cancelled.
Set up for you
Your own list of taxes and fees
Add each tax and fee your area charges, as a percentage or a flat amount, once per booking or per day. Renters see them itemized on the car page and at checkout.
Minimum notice holds on every date
If you require 24 hours' notice, the date picker blocks pickup times inside that window on every date.
Booking details filled into your agreement
Your rental agreement is filled in with the booking's details, from your own e-signature template.
Set up for you
Delivery fees for each pickup spot
Set a fee for each pickup spot, such as the airport or a resort, and a different fee for particular cars. Renters see it in the price before they pay.
Upload your Turo trip history
Upload a Turo trip earnings CSV and Zilarent adds missing trips and updates changed ones, without duplicates.
Requested by a customer
Change a booking and see exactly what moves
When you change dates, car, or extras, the cost breakdown shows the new total and whether the renter is charged or refunded, and saving does exactly that. Refunds inside 24 hours of pickup or mid-trip stay off unless you turn them on.
Revenue by pickup, return, or booking date
Choose which date counts and see gross bookings, revenue by car, and your peak day. The overview adds the next 7 days of pickups and returns.
A redesigned fleet calendar
A cleaner calendar for every car that also works on a phone. Select dates and cars to change prices or block days.
Add charges and refund across cards
Add a named charge, such as a late return, to any booking, on the card on file or a new card, or with no payment recorded. Refunds go back across the cards the renter used.
Close pickups or returns on a given day
Mark a day closed for pickups but open for returns, or the other way round, and your site's date picker follows.
Requested by a customerCar rental reservation system
Override your own rules, with a warning
When a phone booking or a change falls outside your hours, notice period, or a closure, you see why and can override it. A car that's already booked can't be overridden.
Retry every Turo sync error at once
The Turo sync page has a button that retries every trip that didn't come through, and long Turo listing IDs now match their cars.
Set up for you
Export every booking with full price detail
The bookings export includes the subtotal, each tax and fee, every extra, and the Stripe payment and refund references.
Pick your featured cars and their cover photos
Choose which cars your homepage features and in what order, and give each a wide cover photo.
Describe each extra
Add a short description to an extra, and renters tap an info icon at checkout to read it.
Rental agreements signed online
Your own rental agreement, sent for e-signature after each direct or phone booking.
Set up for you

Each change to a booking is recorded with what changed and when.

Set up for you
Turo trip extras come through
Extras on a Turo trip come into Zilarent with the trip and show on the booking.
Set up for you
October to December 2025: the booking site and dashboard
Your booking site
Your own booking site with card checkout
Renters pick dates, see the cars that are free, and pay by card in one checkout, into your own Stripe account.
Renter reviews on your site

Your dashboard
Fleet calendar and pricing rules

The daily board
See the day's pickups and returns in one place, highlight bookings that need attention, tick off extras as they go out, and keep a note for the day.
Turo trips arrive on their own
Turo trips arrive in Zilarent automatically, and the car is hidden on your site for those dates. When you take a direct booking, you block those dates in Turo.
Change a booking after it's made
Change dates, car, or extras on an existing booking, and the price updates to match.
A prep time for each car
Set how long each car needs between trips for cleaning and prep.
Refunds from the dashboard

Phone bookings with card payment

Your booking rules
Set opening hours, the shortest and longest trip, a gap between bookings, and how many months ahead renters can book.
Block-offs for pickups only or returns only
Block a date across the fleet for pickups, for returns, or for both, so a day closed for pickups can still take returns.
Choose who gets booking emails
Send an email to the staff you choose when a booking is made, and pick which kinds of booking trigger it.
