Frequently asked questions — Russia
What vehicle rental software do I need for a mixed car and motorbike fleet in Russia?+
A rental fleet management software like Movialy lets you manage cars, vans, motorbikes and scooters in one per-vehicle occupancy calendar. You can record vehicle condition, mileage and fuel at check-in and check-out, and lock completed car and motorbike rental agreements. The global fleet calendar prevents double-bookings across Moscow or Saint Petersburg branches.
How does Movialy handle deposits and refunds for car and motorbike rental in Russia?+
Movialy records the deposit and any refund in the customer's ledger, including partial refunds and outstanding balances. The operator collects deposits and issues refunds through their own payment methods. You can track held deposits, refunded amounts and customer balances from one screen.
Does Movialy work during internet drops when delivering vehicles in remote Russian regions?+
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. Starting a session, loading bookings and syncing reports require an internet connection.
Can I use Movialy to record payments in rubles with local Russian payment methods?+
Yes. Movialy records payments in the operator's local currency, including ruble amounts. You can define the methods you already accept locally, such as cash, bank transfer, payment cards and mobile payment apps, for each car and motorbike rental agreement.
What maintenance and legal deadlines should vehicle rental software track in Russia?+
Movialy tracks oil changes, insurance, tax and technical inspection deadlines per vehicle. It creates an automatic todo list for returns, deliveries and maintenance blocks. This helps vehicle rental operators comply with compulsory motor third-party liability insurance and vehicle registration rules.
Is Movialy free for small car and motorbike rental operators in Russia?+
Movialy is free up to 20 vehicles with no card required. You can use the mobile app to manage check-ins, condition reports and scheduling for a small fleet. See the pricing page for larger fleets.
