Rental customers often message from airports, hotels and different time zones. They want rates, deposit amounts and document requirements right away.

Squidfy's AI handles these questions around the clock in the customer's language and hands bookings to your team with all the details already collected.

Common WhatsApp challenges

Enquiries at all hours. Tourists landing at 2 am still want a car. Document confusion. International licence, passport and visa rules confuse customers. Long-term rental leads lost. Monthly rentals are valuable but need follow-up.

Rates and requirements answered

Daily, weekly and monthly rates, deposits, insurance and documents.

Multilingual AI

Replies in the customer's language, useful for tourists.

Long-term rental pipeline

Track monthly and corporate rental leads separately.

Escalation for accidents

Keywords like 'accident' or 'breakdown' go straight to a human.

What to add to your knowledge base

The AI answers only from content you give it. Start with: Fleet categories and rates; Deposit and insurance terms; Document requirements by nationality; Delivery and collection areas; Fines and Salik policy.

Which plan fits?

Pro adds after-hours replies, escalation rules and analytics, which fit rental companies serving travellers. Larger fleets with branches can use Business. Every plan includes the shared inbox and knowledge base; yearly billing saves 20%, and Meta's WhatsApp message charges are billed separately.

Pro tip

Add an FAQ explaining toll and fines charges clearly. It prevents the most common post-rental disputes.
