Spain — Car and motorbike rental software

Spain welcomed 85.1 million international tourists in 2023, with peak demand from June to September. Car rental software is essential across Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and coastal hubs like Málaga and Palma de Mallorca. Motorbike and scooter rental software supports urban mobility in cities and island destinations. Operators face high seasonality, strict deposit rules, and multi-language customer needs — all managed by Movialy’s rental fleet management software in 13 languages including Spanish.

Frequently asked questions — Spain

Does Movialy process payments from my customers in Spain?+

No. Movialy does not collect, hold, route or settle money from your customers. You record payments received via cash, bank transfer, card or other methods you already accept locally. Movialy tracks, reconciles and reports those amounts in EUR.

Can I manage both car and motorbike rental in one system?+

Yes. Movialy supports mixed fleets: cars, vans, motorbikes and scooters. Each vehicle has its own occupancy calendar, maintenance deadlines and condition tracking — all visible in the same fleet dashboard.

How does Movialy handle deposits under Spanish rental law?+

Movialy records the deposit amount, method and date at check-in, logs its refund at check-out, and shows it in the general ledger. The deposit remains under your control — Movialy only gives visibility on its status and reconciliation.

Does Movialy work offline for airport pickups or remote deliveries in Spain?+

Movialy is tolerant to brief internet drops: check-in photos, odometer readings and signatures continue locally and sync automatically when connectivity resumes. It is not an offline app and requires internet to start sessions or load bookings.

Can I send rental contracts and condition reports to customers in Spanish?+

Yes. Movialy’s email integration sends signed contracts, start/return condition reports with photos, and receipts automatically in Spanish — with local date, currency and number formatting — directly from the mobile app.
