# Does CarFast take a commission on bookings?

No. CarFast car rental software charges no commission on your bookings. Unlike many car rental platforms that take a percentage of each reservation, CarFast uses a flat monthly fee based only on which vehicles were actively rented. You keep 100% of your rental revenue.

The pricing structure is straightforward: you pay per vehicle that had at least one reservation during the month, plus a €20 minimum if your total usage falls below that threshold.

## How much does rental software cost?

CarFast pricing is usage-based with no hidden platform fees or revenue sharing:

| Item | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Car with ≥1 reservation | €3 |
| Motorcycle / Quad with ≥1 reservation | €2 |
| Bicycle with ≥1 reservation | €1 |
| Email sync (booking form forwarding) | €0.10/sync |
| Monthly minimum | €20 |

You only pay for vehicles that generated at least one booking. If a vehicle sits idle for the month, it costs nothing.

## What are the hidden fees when renting a car?

CarFast has no hidden fees for operators. There is:

- **No per-booking fee** — regardless of booking value
- **No percentage of rental income** — you set your rates and keep everything customers pay
- **No platform markup** — CarFast never touches the money your customers pay you
- **No payment processing fee** — the software does not process payments

The rates you charge renters are entirely under your control. CarFast has no visibility into customer payments and takes no cut of your rental transactions.

If you operate 10 cars and all 10 rent at least once in a month, you pay €30 that month. If only 5 rent, you pay €20 (the minimum).

## What software do car rental companies use?

Car rental operators typically choose between commission-based platforms and flat-fee management software.

Commission-based platforms take 10–25% of each booking in exchange for providing the software and sometimes a marketplace. Flat-fee systems like CarFast charge only for software access, not a share of revenue.

CarFast is designed for independent rental operators who want full control over pricing and customer relationships without paying ongoing commissions. The system handles reservations, vehicle tracking, and availability but leaves payment processing and customer invoicing to you.

## Custom solutions


For self-hosted deployments or bespoke arrangements, additional charges may apply. See the CarFast terms of service for details on enterprise pricing.

# Does CarFast include a car rental booking engine?



Yes. CarFast includes a **car rental booking engine** so customers can submit reservation requests online. The booking engine lets rental businesses accept online reservations without building custom infrastructure or paying for third-party platforms.

You can deploy the CarFast booking engine in three ways, depending on whether you want a turnkey solution or full control over branding and domain hosting.

## How does CarFast Express work?



CarFast Express refers to the hosted storefront option. Your business gets a public booking page at `rentfa.st/cf/<yourbizname>` or `carfa.st/cf/<yourbizname>`. Customers visit the page, fill out the reservation form with their pickup date, return date, vehicle preference, and contact details, then submit the request.

The request lands directly in your CarFast inbox under the Booking Requests screen. You receive a notification and can review, confirm, or decline the booking from the same interface.

This option is included at no additional charge and requires no technical setup. You simply share the link with customers or add it to your social media profiles.

## Does CarFast support email form sync for existing websites?



Yes. If you already have a booking form on your own website, you can forward incoming emails to CarFast. Each forwarded email is parsed and converted into a structured booking request.

Email form sync is billed at **€0.10** per sync. This option is useful for businesses that want to keep their existing web presence but streamline reservation management inside CarFast.

Set up email forwarding from your domain's admin panel to the address provided in your CarFast account settings. Incoming requests will appear alongside those submitted through the hosted storefront.

## How to take online bookings with a self-hosted booking engine



CarFast also supports self-hosted deployment. With this option, you host the booking engine on your own domain (for example, `bookings.yourdomain.com`) and retain full control over branding, DNS, and page layout.

Self-hosting requires a separate agreement. Contact CarFast for pricing and technical requirements. This option is typically chosen by larger operators or franchises that need white-label solutions.

## Managing incoming reservation requests



All reservation requests—whether they come from the hosted storefront, email sync, or self-hosted engine—appear in the **Booking Requests** screen inside CarFast.

From this screen you can:

- Review customer details, requested dates, and vehicle preferences
- Confirm the booking and send an automated confirmation email
- Decline the request with an optional reason
- Adjust booking engine settings, including available vehicles, pricing rules, and pickup locations

You can also configure email and SMS notifications so you're alerted as soon as a new request arrives.

## Frequently asked questions about the CarFast booking engine

**Can I customize the booking form fields?**  
Yes. You can add or remove fields such as flight number, insurance preference, driver's license details, and add-on selections from the booking engine settings.

**Does the booking engine support multiple languages?**  
The hosted storefront adapts to the customer's browser language if a translation is available. Self-hosted engines can be configured with custom locales.

**Are confirmed bookings automatically added to my calendar?**  
Yes. Once you confirm a booking request, it appears in your CarFast calendar and availability is updated across all channels.

**Can I accept payment through the booking engine?**  
Payment collection is not included in the booking engine. Customers submit reservation requests; you collect payment separately through your preferred processor or at pickup.

**Is there a limit on the number of booking requests I can receive?**  
No. The hosted storefront and email sync options have no request volume caps. Self-hosted plans may vary.

Does CarFast integrate with AADE myDATA for Greek tax reporting?

Coming soon (planned for Q2 2026). Greek tax reporting car rental integration with AADE myDATA is on the CarFast roadmap. This integration will enable automatic transmission of invoices and receipts to AADE (the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue), eliminating manual submission through the myDATA web portal.

What is AADE myDATA and who needs it?

AADE myDATA is Greece's mandatory digital system for real-time tax reporting. All businesses operating in Greece, including car rental companies, must transmit revenue documents (invoices, receipts, and credit notes) electronically to the Greek tax authority.

Car rental operators in Greece are required by Greek tax law to:

• Submit each rental invoice to AADE within 24 hours of issuance
• Maintain a digital customer registry tied to tax identification numbers (AFM)
• Generate compliant receipt codes for every transaction

Until the CarFast myDATA integration launches in Q2 2026, rental businesses must continue their current tax reporting workflow using the AADE portal or third-party accounting software.

How will the myDATA integration work in CarFast?

When released in Q2 2026, the myDATA feature is planned to include:

• Automatic invoice and receipt transmission to AADE immediately after a booking is finalized, removing the need to export data or manually upload documents.
• Digital customer registry linked to each booking record, storing customer AFM (tax ID) and required fields.
• Real-time transmission status showing which invoices have been accepted or rejected by AADE.
• Audit trail for Greek tax inspections, with timestamped submission records.

How to pay Greek car road tax?

Greek road tax (τέλη κυκλοφορίας) is an annual vehicle circulation tax separate from myDATA invoice reporting. Rental fleet owners must pay road tax for each vehicle registered in Greece.

Road tax is typically paid at:

• Greek tax offices (DOY)
• Authorized banks
• The myTAXISnet online portal

Road tax amounts depend on engine displacement, fuel type, and vehicle age. Electric and hybrid vehicles may qualify for reduced rates.

The CarFast myDATA integration will not handle road tax payments; it focuses on real-time invoice transmission for rental transactions.

How much is the road tax in Greece?

Greek road tax rates vary by vehicle specifications:

• Petrol vehicles are taxed per 100 cc of engine displacement
• Diesel vehicles face higher per-cc rates
• Vehicles over 15 years old receive discounts
• Electric vehicles are exempt or pay minimal fees

For a typical rental sedan (1,400 cc petrol engine), annual road tax is approximately €100–€200. Larger SUVs and diesel models cost more.

Road tax is separate from AADE myDATA compliance. The myDATA system tracks rental revenue and invoices; road tax is a vehicle ownership obligation paid annually regardless of how much the car is rented.

Does Greece have a tax treaty with the US?

Yes. Greece and the United States have a tax treaty that addresses double taxation on business income, including rental revenue. If you operate a car rental business in Greece as a US entity or individual, the treaty may affect where you owe taxes and at what rate.

The myDATA system applies to all rental businesses operating in Greece, regardless of the owner's country of residence or tax residency status. Even if a treaty reduces your Greek income tax liability, you must still submit invoices to AADE in real time.

Consult a tax advisor familiar with both Greek and US tax law to understand your reporting obligations.

When to expect the CarFast myDATA integration

The myDATA integration is scheduled for Q2 2026. Development timelines may shift; check the CarFast roadmap for updates.

In the meantime, Greek rental operators should continue using their existing tax reporting process—whether that's manual entry in the AADE portal, integration through local accounting software, or a third-party myDATA API provider.

If you operate a car rental business in Greece and want early access or input on the myDATA feature design, contact CarFast support.

Does CarFast offer custom feature development?

Yes. We actively build our car rental software based on feedback from rental operators. If your business needs something that isn't in the platform yet, you can request it.

CarFast is designed to handle the core workflows that rental companies need: fleet management, online booking, payment processing, and customer communication. When operators identify gaps or suggest improvements, we evaluate those requests for the standard roadmap.

What software do car rental companies use?

Car rental companies use specialized rental management platforms to handle reservations, vehicle tracking, customer records, and billing. CarFast provides an all-in-one solution built specifically for rental operators who need a modern, web-based system without legacy complexity.

The platform includes:

• Online booking with calendar availability
• Fleet and vehicle management
• Customer database and rental history
• Payment processing and invoicing
• Automated email and SMS notifications
• Reporting and analytics

These features cover the daily operations of rental businesses, from independent operators with a handful of vehicles to fleets managing dozens of cars.

How much does rental software cost?

CarFast pricing is based on a per-vehicle subscription model with a minimum of €20 per month. Your base subscription covers the full platform as it exists today, including all currently live features.

There are no setup fees, no per-booking transaction fees, and no charges for standard updates or new features added to the platform roadmap. You pay only for the vehicles you manage.

Custom development for highly specific requirements beyond the standard roadmap may involve additional charges. This is a separate conversation based on scope and implementation effort.

How feature requests work

Submit a feature request through the Help Center or contact us directly. We review all requests and prioritize those that solve common problems for many operators.

Requests that align with the needs of the broader rental industry are added to the standard roadmap at no additional cost. All subscribers benefit when new features go live.

Already planned features

Features like myDATA integration and digital contract e-signatures are already committed and planned for Q2 2026. These will be included in the standard platform for all subscribers.

The roadmap is public, and you can see what's coming next. Planned features are delivered as part of your existing subscription.

Bespoke development for specific needs

For highly specific requirements that go beyond the standard roadmap—such as integrations with proprietary systems, custom workflows unique to your business, or regional compliance features—we can discuss custom development separately.

Bespoke work is scoped individually. It may involve additional charges beyond the standard per-vehicle subscription. Contact us to discuss your requirements, timeline, and pricing.

Standard features remain available to all subscribers. Custom development is reserved for use cases that don't fit the shared platform model.

# How do I get support for CarFast?

CarFast is car rental software that includes a built-in Help Center accessible directly from your dashboard. Whether you need self-service documentation, account help, or feature guidance, support is available through multiple channels.

## Built-in help center




The Help Center is available while you're logged in to your CarFast dashboard. You can access self-service documentation for common questions about using the software — fleet management, reservations, customer records, and billing workflows — without leaving the app.

The in-app Help Center lets you search by topic or browse organized sections that correspond to each module in the platform. This documentation covers feature-specific questions so you can find answers while working.

## What software do car rental companies use?

Car rental companies use rental management software to handle reservations, fleet tracking, customer data, and invoicing. CarFast is designed for independent operators and small-to-medium rental fleets.

The software consolidates daily operations into a single dashboard: check-in and check-out, vehicle availability, damage documentation, contract generation, and payment processing. It replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a unified system.

## How much does rental software cost?

Rental software pricing varies by feature set and company size. CarFast uses subscription-based pricing, with costs depending on the number of vehicles in your fleet and active user accounts.

You can review current pricing on the CarFast website. There are no long-term contracts; you pay month-to-month and can adjust your plan as your fleet grows or shrinks.

## Which rental management software is best rated?

CarFast is built for operators who need straightforward fleet and reservation management without enterprise complexity. The platform focuses on the workflow steps that independent rental companies perform daily: booking, contract signing, vehicle hand-off, returns, and billing.

Ratings depend on your specific workflow. CarFast prioritizes speed of common tasks, mobile access for field operations, and transparency in pricing and feature availability.

## Dedicated support

For issues that go beyond the self-service documentation — such as account access problems, billing discrepancies, or questions not covered in the Help Center — CarFast offers dedicated customer support. The team is available to help you resolve account issues and answer questions about the platform.

Support handles account setup, user permission questions, integration troubleshooting, and billing adjustments. You can reach the support team through the contact form in your dashboard or via the email listed in your account settings.

## Custom feature requests

We accept input for features not yet in the product. If your business requires a specific capability — for example, integration with a particular payment gateway, custom reporting fields, or workflow automation — you can raise it with the support team.

Feature requests are logged and reviewed based on operator business needs. We prioritize updates that solve common pain points across multiple rental companies. While we cannot commit to building every request, we use this feedback to guide the product roadmap.

You can submit feature ideas through the Help Center feedback form or by contacting support directly.

# Can CarFast track vehicle damage reports and photos?

**Coming soon (planned for Q2 2026).** CarFast is building car rental damage tracking software as part of the Servicing & Expenses module. This feature will help rental operators document vehicle damage, track maintenance, and manage repair costs in a single system.

Currently, you can record expenses for individual vehicles and view all expense records in the Expenses section of your dashboard. The full damage-report module with statistics and photo documentation is the coming-soon addition.

## What is the app for vehicle damage?



When released, CarFast's Servicing & Expenses module will function as a vehicle damage tracking app integrated directly into your rental management platform. Instead of using separate tools or paper forms, you will be able to document damage within the same system you use for reservations and fleet operations.

The planned damage tracking features include:

- **Damage statistics:** Identify which vehicles generate the most damage reports so you can decide whether to repair, reassign, or retire them from your fleet.
- **Photo upload and documentation:** Attach images to damage reports for insurance claims and customer disputes.
- **Damage history per vehicle:** View the complete damage record for any car in your fleet, organized by date and rental event.

This approach keeps all vehicle information centralized rather than scattered across spreadsheets, text messages, or third-party apps.

## What software do car rental companies use?




Car rental companies typically use fleet management software that combines reservations, billing, and vehicle tracking. CarFast provides these core functions today, with expense tracking already available for each vehicle.

The Servicing & Expenses module will expand CarFast's capabilities to include:

- **Oil change and repair tracking:** Record scheduled maintenance tasks, set reminders, and monitor service intervals to prevent breakdowns.
- **Loan payoff projections:** Calculate expected payoff timelines for vehicles purchased on finance, helping you plan fleet turnover.
- **Expense management:** Track all servicing costs—fuel, repairs, inspections, cleaning—in a single digital record linked to each vehicle.
- **Maintenance cost analysis:** Compare servicing expenses across your fleet to identify high-cost vehicles.

These tools are designed for small and mid-sized rental operators who need straightforward tracking without enterprise complexity.

## How to look up vehicle damage?



Once the Servicing & Expenses module is released, you will look up vehicle damage in CarFast by navigating to the individual vehicle page. Each vehicle will display a damage history tab showing all recorded incidents, attached photos, repair costs, and the rental periods when damage occurred.

The damage statistics dashboard will also let you filter and sort by:

- Date range
- Damage severity
- Repair cost
- Vehicle ID or license plate

This centralized view helps you answer common questions: Which car was dented last month? How much have we spent repairing a specific vehicle this year? Should we continue renting a car with repeated damage claims?

Today, you can already view expense records for each vehicle in the Expenses section. The coming-soon update will add damage-specific categorization, statistics, and photo storage.

## What is available today

You can already record expenses for individual vehicles and view all expense records in the Expenses section of your dashboard. Use this to log repair bills, cleaning fees, or any other servicing cost tied to a specific car.

The full damage-report and servicing dashboard with statistics, photo uploads, and proactive maintenance reminders is the coming-soon addition planned for Q2 2026.
