Online reservation
Online booking system for rental businesses
With Rentolino you get a booking link for your rental objects. Customers see prices and conditions, pick a date and a tariff and confirm the reservation by e-mail. It is then in your calendar, together with the bookings you enter yourself.
The trial is free and needs no credit card.
Starting point
Reservations arrive when you have no time
Most requests come in the evening and at the weekend: by phone, WhatsApp, e-mail or a contact form. Each one needs the same questions back: which object, from when until when, in whose name? By the time you answer, the customer may have rented somewhere else.
A booking system takes these questions off your hands. The customer sees what it costs and whether the date is free, and you receive a complete reservation instead of a message.
With Rentolino
How the booking link works
1. Switch on the link and share it
You switch on online reservations in the company settings. Rentolino creates an address of the form rentolino.ch/book/your-company from your company name. You put the link on your website, in your Google Business Profile or in your e-mail signature.
2. The customer picks object, date and tariff
The page shows your rental objects with search, location filter, prices and opening hours. The customer picks the start date, the start time and a tariff, and Rentolino calculates the end and the price. If the object is taken for that time, a notice appears and the reservation cannot be sent.
3. Confirmation by e-mail
The customer enters name, address and e-mail address and confirms the reservation through a link in the e-mail. An invisible bot protection without picture puzzles keeps spam away.
4. You approve, or Rentolino does
In the 'manual' approval mode you check every reservation and set it to 'Confirmed'. In the 'automatic' mode it counts once the e-mail is confirmed. In both cases you receive a notification in the workspace, and the customer is created as a customer profile or recognised by the e-mail address.
Rules per location
Opening hours per weekday, earliest pick-up, latest return, a time grid of 15, 30 or 60 minutes, minimum lead time and a buffer after every rental are set per location. In vacation mode a location cannot be booked online.

Questions and answers
Questions about online booking
Can customers pay when they book online?
No. The booking page shows the price but does not process a payment. After the rental you issue an invoice with the QR payment part or take payment at the handover.
Can I build the booking page into my website?
You link to it. The booking page is a page of its own at rentolino.ch/book/ with your company name and your logo. For security reasons it cannot be shown as an embedded frame (iframe) inside another website.
In which languages is the booking page available?
In German, French, Italian and English. The customer chooses the language on the page, and the confirmation e-mail arrives in the same language.
Do customers see who has booked when?
No. The page shows whether a rental object is free right now and checks the requested period. Names of other customers never appear.
Can I exclude individual rental objects from online booking?
Yes. You hide a rental object from online booking or block it for a period, for example during a repair. Rental objects with the status 'Maintenance' do not appear on the booking page.
