Frequently asked questions — Guatemala
Can Movialy manage both cars and motorcycles in my Guatemala City fleet?+
Yes. Movialy provides per-vehicle occupancy calendars and a global fleet calendar for cars, motorcycles and scooters in Guatemala City. Live statuses show rented, available, in maintenance, out of service or overdue, and conflict detection prevents double-booking.
How does Movialy help me avoid damage disputes with customers renting in Antigua?+
At check-in and check-out, you photograph bodywork, dashboard and gauges, and Movialy timestamps and compares them side by side. The odometer and fuel level can be read automatically from a photo. Completed rentals are locked by default, and condition report photos can be emailed directly to the customer. This strengthens your car rental software Guatemala process.
Can I record deposits and payments in Guatemalan quetzales without Movialy processing money?+
Yes. Movialy records payments received via cash, bank transfer, card or mobile apps in GTQ, and tracks customer balances, deposits, refunds and outstanding amounts. The deposit is recorded and its refund is tracked; Movialy never collects or settles customer money. This keeps your ledger accurate for accounting.
What happens when my team loses internet on the road to Lake Atitlán?+
Movialy is resilient to intermittent connectivity: an in-progress check-in, photo, signature or payment recording completes locally and syncs automatically when the network returns. It is not an offline app, so you start a session and load bookings with an internet connection, but brief drops do not cause data loss.

Movialy tracks current mileage and next service for each vehicle with configurable oil change intervals. It also records per-vehicle deadlines for insurance, tax and technical inspection, and generates an automatic todo list for oil, deadlines, returns and deliveries.
Can I print rental contracts at my office while my team handles check-outs near Tikal?+
Yes. Movialy's remote internet printer sends contracts, receipts and reports to any connected office printer the moment an action is completed in the field. A dedicated mobile terminal with an integrated thermal printer prints contracts, receipts and deposit slips on the spot.
