Veltrio gives independent, professional car rental companies in the US one subscription for the software that runs their business and a listing on a public marketplace where renters find and book their cars. Renters pay the company's own price with no booking fees, and every payment goes straight to the company.

Who pays what

Rental companies

Pay a flat monthly or yearly subscription sized to their fleet. That subscription is Veltrio's only income.

Renters

Pay the price the company sets. Veltrio adds no booking or service fee, and nothing is charged until the company accepts the request.

The money

Renters pay into the company's own Stripe account, and Stripe pays out to its bank. Veltrio never holds a company's money.

The owner portal and the marketplace

Owner portal

For the company's owner, managers and counter staff, each with their own role.

home page

Fleet and calendar

Every car, who has it and when it is due back. Import a fleet from a spreadsheet; AI drafts vehicle descriptions.

Bookings

Requests from the marketplace and bookings taken at the counter, with changes, extensions, additional drivers and cancellations by the company's own policy.

Checks before the keys go

Background, insurance and ID checks on a renter from the booking, and a licence check for every driver at handover.

Signed and paid before pickup

Rental agreements signed online, secure payment links, security deposits held on the card until return, cash when preferred, receipts, invoices and refunds.

Branches and team

Several branches with their own address and hours; owner, manager and staff roles.

Analytics

Revenue, fleet use, demand and customers over any period, with a short AI-written summary and pricing suggestions drawn from the company's own bookings.

Veltrio AI

An assistant in every page that explains the software, looks up the company's own figures for owners and managers, and prepares bookings for staff to confirm.

Their own brand online

A booking site at their own Veltrio address with their logo, colours and terms, plus a fleet widget for their existing website.

Marketplace

For renters looking for a car from a local company, never a private owner.

By city and dates, vehicle type, make and price, or browse collections: exotic, electric, economy and family.

Compare the terms

Price, deposit, mileage and cancellation policy shown on each car before booking, with similar cars suggested alongside.

Request to book

The renter sends their details with a photo of their licence and insurance card. Nothing is charged until the company confirms.

Pay and sign online

A secure link to pay once confirmed, or cash at pickup; the rental agreement is signed online before the car leaves.

Company pages

Each company has its own page and fleet under its name, also reachable from its own website.

Guides

Articles for renters and for rental businesses, which bring search traffic to the marketplace.

From request to return

Pending

A renter's request arrives from the marketplace or the company's own site.

Confirmed

The company accepts it, and the dates are held on the calendar.

Ready

Background, ID and insurance checks clear; the agreement is signed, the rental paid into the company's Stripe account and the deposit held. Veltrio takes nothing.

On rental

Every driver's licence is checked, and the keys are handed over.

Completed

The car comes back and the deposit is released.

How Veltrio differs from a typical rental marketplace

Typical marketplaces

  • Take a commission on every booking

  • Add a service fee on top of the company's price

  • Collect the payment, then pay the company later

  • Leave the company to buy fleet software separately

Veltrio

  • 0% commission, on one flat subscription

  • No renter fees: renters pay the company's price

  • Payments go straight to the company's Stripe account

  • Fleet software included in every plan

Services already integrated

Stripe Connect

Card payments, deposits and payouts, into each company's own Stripe account.

Checkr Trust

Background checks on renters, run from a booking.

Axle

Verification of a renter's own car insurance.

AI language model

Vehicle descriptions, the Veltrio AI assistant and the analytics summaries.

Where partners could fit

Suggestions to explore, drawn from what the product already does. None of these are existing partnerships.

Rental industry associations and networks

Reach independent operators who want software and online bookings without a commission marketplace.

Insurance providers

Renter and fleet cover alongside the insurance check that already runs on each booking.

Fleet sellers and financing

Dealers, auctions and lenders who supply vehicles to small rental companies as they grow.

Travel and local tourism

Hotels, travel sites and city guides that could link to local fleets or show the embeddable fleet widget.

Fleet operations services

Telematics, maintenance, detailing and car-wash businesses that serve the same companies.

Spanish-speaking markets in the US

Community and business groups, since the portal and marketplace work fully in Spanish.
