Kenya — Car and motorbike rental software

Frequently asked questions — Kenya
Can Movialy record mobile money payments from my customers?+
Yes. Movialy records payments your customers make through any mobile money, cash, bank transfer or card method you already accept. You log the amount, date, method and reference in Kenyan Shillings against each booking. Collection and settlement stay with your own payment channels.
How does vehicle rental software prevent damage disputes?+
Movialy captures timestamped check-in and check-out photos of bodywork, dashboard and gauges, plus odometer and fuel readings. Automatic reading of the odometer and fuel gauge from photos compares start and return side by side. Completed car or motorbike rental files are locked by default and unlockable with permission for corrections.
Does Movialy work during weak mobile internet at airport or remote pickups?+
Movialy is tolerant to intermittent connectivity. An in-progress check-in, photo, signature or payment recording completes locally and syncs automatically when the network returns. You need an internet connection to start a session or load bookings.
Can I track maintenance and legal deadlines for cars and motorbikes?+
Yes. The same motorbike rental software records current mileage, next service and configurable oil change intervals. It tracks insurance, tax and technical inspection deadlines per vehicle and builds an automatic todo list. Downtime blocks for maintenance keep vehicles out of the availability calendar.
Is there a free tier for small Kenyan operators?+
Movialy is free up to 20 vehicles with no card required. You can start with car and motorbike rental software features and later move to a paid plan from the pricing page.
How does Movialy handle deposits and refunds in Kenya?+
Movialy records deposit and refund lines in Kenyan Shillings against each booking. The customer card shows held deposits and balances. Operators collect and return deposits through their own cash, bank transfer, card or mobile money channels.
