Bike Rental
Bike hire from a waymarked route card: gravel woodland behind the date search, the live fleet, three rides from the door with distance and terrain, and a fitting before you ride.
Your fleet, live availability, online bookings and deposits - built in.
Put your bikes online and take bookings while the shop is shut. Each bike shows its photos, frame size and daily rate, and because you record how many of each you hold, the same one can never go out twice. Riders pick their dates and pay the hire and a damage deposit through your own Stripe account. The form asks a rider the two things that matter - a minimum age and a waiver - not the licence, mileage and fuel questions a repurposed car-hire tool makes everyone answer. Helmets, locks and a child seat go on as extras, summer carries its own rate, and a hire for the week is priced better than seven days at the daily.
Building your site, pages and blog are free forever. Bike rental website builder is not - it needs Starter ($14.99/mo). The 14-day free trial covers it, and starting the trial needs a card. That tier covers 50 bikes and 200 hires a month, and carries a 2% platform fee per online payment (1% from Growth Business up); bigger fleets are on Growth Business.
Before you start the trial
What it replaces
Road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes and kids' bikes, each with photos, frame size and a category a visitor can filter by - added one by one or imported from a spreadsheet.
Record how many of each bike you hold. A search counts the free ones in real time and writes the booking under a lock, so two riders can never take the last one at the same moment.
Add a helmet, a lock, panniers, a child seat or a repair kit, each with its own daily price, straight onto the quote instead of sorting it out at the counter.
Give the peak months their own daily price. Rates are worked out per day, so a hire that starts in August and runs into September is charged correctly for each - and you can require a longer minimum hire while the season runs.
Set a weekly rate that kicks in from seven days and a monthly one from twenty-eight; the better of the two is applied to the quote automatically, so a tourer gets the right price without you remembering to give it.
A buffer in hours between one hire ending and the next starting - the window for brakes, tyres and a wash - so the calendar never promises a bike that is not back and ready.
The damage deposit goes on the card as an authorisation through your own Stripe account. Capture it if a bike comes back damaged, release it in one click if it does not.
A walk-in you book from behind the counter draws down the same availability as an online one, and the day's hires and returns sit on a single dashboard.
Live in an afternoon - no code, no plugins.
Add each bike with photos, frame size and a daily rate - and say how many of each you own, which is what stops the same one going out twice.
A minimum age, a damage waiver, summer rates and a turnaround gap for brakes and a wash. Nothing about licences, mileage or fuel.
Riders pick their dates, see what is genuinely free, and pay the hire and deposit. You see what goes out today and what is due back.
