Your bikes aren't timeslots.
Most booking software was built for tours and treats your rental fleet like an afterthought. Valet was built for equipment rental from day one.

Ready to switch? Start free · Book a demo
Bookings from anywhere. Checkout in seconds.
Your website, your customer's phone, a kiosk on your counter. Same fast checkout on every surface.
Walk-ups don't wait in line. Online customers don't bounce. Kiosk mode lets them help themselves while your staff stays on the floor.
Itemized fleet tracking without the busywork.
Some platforms make you pre-assign every bike before a single rental goes out. Other platforms don't maintain a history of which customers were assigned a specific bike.
Valet tracks individual bikes to each customer without slowing your team down.
- Assign bikes at checkout, not before
- Flag damage at check-in with a tap
- Maintenance alerts triggered by ride count
- Seasonal staff can run it on day one
Is it time to switch?
Pick everything that sounds familiar.
Switching is easier than staying frustrated.
We handle the transition. Your bookings, your catalog, your customer data. You don't start from scratch. Most shops are live within a week.
Stop guessing which bikes earn their keep.
Your current software can maybe tell you how many bookings you had last month. Maybe.
Valet tells you which bikes generate the most revenue. Which sizes sit idle on weekdays. What your real utilization rate is by season. That's how you decide whether to buy five more e-bikes next year or invest in better mountain bikes. Not gut feel. Data.
You won't need to switch platforms again to see better numbers. They're already here.
