Plugixa Car Rental

Step-by-step form

Dates and locations, choose a car, add extras, your details, then a confirmation with the booking reference.

Block and shortcode

Place it with the Car rental booking block or the [plugixa_car_rental_booking] shortcode, optionally starting at one location.

Live total

The car, each extra and the total are shown beside the form and update as choices change.

Your colours

Set the form's colours and look under Booking form style, so it sits naturally in your theme.

Made for phones

The same steps on a small screen, laid out for a thumb.

Vehicle categories

Group models as Economy, Compact, SUV, Premium or anything you like.

Vehicle models

Make, model, seats, luggage, gearbox, fuel, an image, a deposit, a minimum driver age and a mileage limit.

Cars by plate and VIN

Every physical car with its plate, VIN, colour and odometer, booked one rental at a time.

Home location

Tie a car to the location it starts from, or leave it free to start anywhere.

No duplicate plates

A plate already in the fleet is refused however it is typed, and records still in use cannot be deleted.

Unlimited locations

Airport, city centre, harbour: each with a name, code, address and whether it takes pickups, returns or both.

Opening hours

Hours for every weekday, with split shifts for a desk that closes at lunchtime.

Its own timezone

Each location keeps its own clock, so pickup times are right on both sides of a border.

Closures

Close a location for a day or a range of dates. Nobody can pick up or return there.

After-hours fee

Allow handovers outside the opening hours for a fee, added to the price automatically.

Daily rates by length

Rates in brackets such as 1-2, 3-6 and 7 or more days, so a week costs less per day than a weekend.

Rates per location

One rate for every location, or a different one where a desk needs it.

Pricing rules Pro

Seasons, weekends, long-rental and early-booking discounts, applied day by day.

Pricing calendar Pro

See the daily price of each model on a calendar, with your rules applied.

Tax rates Pro

Tax per pickup location, added to the price or included in it, on every quote and invoice.

Checked under a lock

Two customers reaching for the same car at once cannot both get it.

Holds that expire

A car is held while the customer fills in their details, and freed the moment the hold runs out.

Turnaround time

Time for cleaning and refuelling between two rentals of the same car.

Booking rules

Minimum notice, how far ahead customers may book, the shortest and longest rental, and a grace period for late returns.

Calendar sync Pro

Share each car's availability with other booking sites and read their bookings back in.

Search and filters

Find a booking by reference, name or email, and narrow the list by status and other filters.

Statuses from pending to completed

Confirm, hand over, take back and close a rental, or mark a no-show, from the booking screen.

Desk bookings

Take a booking by phone or at the counter, priced and checked exactly like one from the site.

CSV export

Export the bookings you have filtered to a spreadsheet.

Trash and restore

Finished bookings go to a trash first, so a slip of the mouse can be undone.

Extras

Child seats, sat nav, an additional driver or full damage cover, per rental or per day, with a price cap.

Coupon codes

A percentage or an amount off, with valid dates, a usage limit and a shortest rental.

Custom fields

Your own questions at checkout, such as a flight number, shown on the booking.

Driver age Pro

Ask the driver's age, keep each car to drivers old enough for it, and add young or senior driver surcharges.

Delivery and collection Pro

Bring the car to the customer's address and fetch it back, priced by road distance within your range.

Pay at pickup or by transfer

Offline methods with your own instructions and bank details. Choosing one confirms the booking.
