The four automations that do the work
Availability Calendar Check
Customer sends dates and car type; bot checks the live booking calendar and instantly confirms which cars are free.
License & ID Collection
Before confirming, bot asks for driving license photo, ID proof, and address upfront so the front desk isn't chasing documents at pickup.
Deposit + Rental Payment Link
Sends a combined payment link for security deposit and rental amount, confirming the booking only once payment is received.
Fuel Policy & Handover Reminder
Sends an automatic reminder a day before pickup with fuel policy, km limit, and pickup location and time.
Discovery happens on Instagram โ ZapUp runs both
Self-drive renters often find a car through Instagram reels showing the fleet and DM to check rates; ZapUp turns that DM into a document-verified, deposit-paid WhatsApp booking without your staff repeating the same policy explanation each time.
Before you ask
Can I automate WhatsApp bookings for my self-drive car rental?
Yes. ZapUp checks your availability calendar against the dates a customer asks for, collects their license and ID, and sends a payment link for deposit and rental, all before your team gets involved.
What if I want to manually approve every booking before confirming?
You can set the bot to collect all details and payment, then hold the booking as pending until you approve it, so you stay in control while customers still get instant responses.
Does the bot explain fuel and km policies to customers automatically?
Yes, it sends your exact full-to-full or prepaid fuel policy and km limit with the booking confirmation, so there's no confusion at pickup or drop.
