New Zealand, honestly stated
01 · The problem

Most rental businesses run on six tools that don't talk.

Every gap between them is a double-booking, an unpaid excess, or an inspection that lapsed while you were on the counter.

One system
Glovebox

Every booking, vehicle, document, payment and message in the same place, each one updating the others without you retyping anything.

02 · What it runs

Four jobs that eat an operator's week, handled in one place.

01

Bookings & payments

Direct bookings, deposits, excess holds and settlement, all through your own payment provider, in your currency.

02

Fleet & availability

Live availability across every vehicle and depot, with double-bookings made structurally impossible.

03

Compliance & documents

Servicing, inspections, insurance and signed agreements tracked per vehicle, with reminders before they lapse.

04

Pricing that runs itself

Seasonal, length-of-hire and demand rules apply automatically, so you stop repricing by hand.

03 · The product

The dispatch board your day actually runs on

Live availability, today's pick-ups and returns, and anything that needs a decision. One screen, no reconciliation.

The actual booking widget your customers use

This is the real Glovebox widget on a demo fleet. Pick dates, see live availability and pricing. It's a demo, so no card is ever charged.

Your currency

Local currency, local tax treatment and your own payment provider, configured per country, not hard-coded.

Your rules

Age limits, excess, deposits, licence checks and agreement terms are yours to set.

Your data

You own your customer and booking records, and can export all of them at any time.

04 · Switching

Three weeks, and you keep taking bookings the whole time.

Nobody can afford a migration that stops the counter. This is the sequence we used on our own fleets.

01

We import what you have

Vehicles, rates, forward bookings and customer records out of your current system or spreadsheet. We have done this migration on our own fleets, twice.

Week one
02

You run both for a fortnight

New bookings land in Glovebox while the old system finishes the hires already on it. Nothing is switched off until the board matches reality.

Week two
03

The counter moves over

Widget on your site, agreements and deposits live, old tool cancelled. One afternoon of training, not a project plan.

06 · Who builds it

Glovebox isn't a prototype. It runs the rental fleets I operate in New Zealand today, Jimny Rentals and Dream Drives, with bookings taken, payments settled and vehicles kept compliant.

Adam Crouchley · Jimny Rentals, Dream Drives

It's proven against one market's rules. Which country's rules we build for next is decided by who signs up on this page. That's the entire purpose of it.

Try it yourself

Take the whole thing for a spin

You've met the booking widget. This opens the full operator side in one click: a complete demo fleet with real bookings, pricing and compliance already set up. No signup, nothing to install, and it resets itself so you can't break anything.

07 · Pricing

We won't invent a number for a market we haven't opened.

What we can say
A monthly subscription scaled to fleet size. No commission on your bookings, ever.
What you keep
Your payment provider, your settlement account, your customer records.
What early access gets you
The price before anyone else sees it, and no obligation once you have it.
What we will not do
Publish a plausible-looking table today and change it the week your country opens.
