Colombia — Car and motorbike rental software
Colombia’s car and motorbike rental market serves over 6.3 million international tourists annually, with Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena and Cali as top hubs. Demand peaks from December to March and July to August, aligning with holiday seasons and festivals like Carnaval de Barranquilla. Car rental software in Colombia must support local currency accounting, multi-method payment recording, and vehicle condition tracking across diverse terrain — from Andean highlands to Caribbean coast. Scooter rental app functionality is increasingly relevant in Medellín and Bogotá’s dense urban corridors.

Frequently asked questions — Colombia
Does Movialy process payments from my customers in Colombia?+
No. Movialy does not process, collect, hold or refund money from your customers. It records payments you receive via your existing methods — cash, bank transfer, card, or local mobile wallets — and reconciles them against rentals, deposits and invoices.
Can I track vehicle condition with photos and odometer readings in Colombia?+
Yes. Movialy supports check-in and check-out with timestamped photos of bodywork, dashboard, fuel gauge and odometer. It automatically reads the odometer and fuel level from photos, and locks completed rentals to prevent tampering.
How does Movialy handle deposits and refunds for Colombian customers?+
Movialy records the deposit amount, method and date at check-in, and logs its refund at check-out. It tracks all deposits in your general ledger and shows outstanding balances — but you collect and refund deposits using your own channels.
Can Movialy generate reports in Colombian pesos (COP) and comply with local accounting needs?+
Yes. Movialy displays and exports all financial data in COP, including sales journals, VAT-collected reports, and cash receipts. You can email accounting exports directly to your accountant, with custom formatting for local software.
Does Movialy work reliably in areas with unstable internet, like rural pickup points or airport zones?+
Yes. Movialy is resilient to brief internet drops: in-progress actions like check-in, photo capture or payment recording continue locally and sync automatically when connectivity resumes. It is not an offline app and requires internet to start sessions or load bookings.
