Agency bookings
Follow every agency booking by tab, confirm pending ones, record the deposit and payments, cancel with a reason and handle disputes.
The Bookings screen gathers the bookings of every car in the agency. The tabs follow the life of a booking, from request to return. The owner and the agency manager act on bookings; the finance manager and the fleet manager view them, and the finance manager records payments.
Steps: confirm a pending booking
- Open Bookings, tab New, and tap the booking.
- Check the car, the dates, the customer and their documents, then the price breakdown.
- Tap Confirm. The booking moves to Confirmed.
- Assign the pickup to an employee from the Pickup block. See Pickup operations.
If the agency confirms bookings automatically (setting in Agencies and sites), bookings arrive directly in Confirmed.

Cancel a booking
- Open the booking and tap Cancel booking.
- Enter the reason. It is kept with the date and the author.
- Confirm. The summary shows the amount invoiced, the amount paid, the refundable amount and whether the deposit is refundable.
Cancelling frees the car for those dates. If the booking was already invoiced, a credit note cancels the invoice.
What happens next
- On confirmation: the car is blocked for the dates, the invoice is created, an Unassigned pickup appears in pickup operations, and the customer receives the confirmation.
- When the pickup is completed: the booking moves to Active, the car to Rented, and the return is prepared for the end date.
- When the return is completed: the booking moves to Completed, the car is Available again, and the customer gets a review request 24 h later.
- On cancellation: the car is freed, a credit note is created if needed, and the customer is told.
Troubleshooting
| Message or situation | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The status change is refused | It is not allowed from the current status. | Check the table above; field steps go through the pickup. |
| "Your account cannot perform this action." | Your role can view bookings but not change them. | Ask the owner or the agency manager. |
| A Completed booking cannot be cancelled | A returned rental can no longer be cancelled. | Mark it as a dispute if a disagreement remains. |
| The pricing rule is not visible | It is reserved for the owner, the agency manager and the finance manager. | This is normal for the fleet manager. |
