Frequently asked questions — Mexico
How can car rental software in Mexico manage bookings across Mexico City and Cancún?+
Movialy shows a per-vehicle occupancy calendar and a global fleet calendar colour-coded by status. It flags today's deliveries, returns, idle vehicles and overdue units. This prevents double-booking across branches in different cities.
Can I track deposits and refunds for scooter rental bookings in Mexican pesos?+
Movialy records deposit and refund amounts in the local currency using the payment methods your business already accepts. Each rental line shows rent, extras, discount, deposit, payment and refund. The customer balance separates due, overdue, unpaid and doubtful debt.
Does Movialy work when mobile coverage drops at beach rental counters?+
Movialy is resilient to intermittent connectivity. An in-progress check-in or check-out continues locally and syncs automatically when the network returns. It does not provide offline access to calendars or reports.
How do I handle vehicle condition disputes at return in Mexico?+
Movialy captures timestamped photos, odometer, fuel level and bodywork at check-in and check-out. It compares start and return data side by side. Completed rentals are locked by default and can be corrected only with permission.
Can I schedule maintenance and legal deadlines for a mixed car and motorcycle fleet in Mexico?+
Movialy tracks oil changes, insurance, tax and technical inspection deadlines per vehicle. It generates an automatic todo list for returns, deliveries, maintenance and availability. Downtime blocks prevent renting vehicles in maintenance.
What reports help a vehicle rental business in Mexico prepare accounting?+
Movialy generates sales journals, cash receipts journals, a general ledger and VAT collected breakdowns. It also reports revenue, expenses and profitability per vehicle and per period. Reports can be exported by email automatically to an accountant.
