Day-before pickup calls with what to bring
The renter who arrives with only a debit card for a truck holds up the line and leaves empty-handed. A call the evening before catches it while there is still time to fix.
A reservation picking up tomorrow.
Confirms the time, reminds them what to bring, and catches card, licence and driver problems early.
Confirmed pickups, freed units from cancellations and fewer walk-aways at the counter.
How it works
- Calls the evening before
Every reservation picking up tomorrow, at the time you choose.
- Confirms the time
Still 8 a.m.? A change is made on the call, with the new time checked against the fleet.
- Checks the card
"Will you have a credit card in your name?" A debit-only renter hears what your branch accepts while there is time to sort it.
- Checks the drivers
Anyone else driving needs to come to the counter with a licence. Under-25 drivers hear the fee.
- Frees the unit
A renter who doesn't need it any more cancels on the call, and the van goes back to the available fleet.
- Texts the details
Address, hours, the counter's parking and the reservation number.
Example call
- AI agentHi Fatima, it's Emma from Northside Rentals. Just confirming your cargo van tomorrow at 9. Still on?
- CustomerYes. My husband's driving though, is that okay?
- AI agentSure. He'll just need to come to the counter with his licence so he's on the agreement. Is the deposit going on your credit card?
- CustomerMine. I only have debit, actually.
- AI agentFor vans, the deposit needs a credit card. If your husband has one, I can move the reservation to his name, and you can still drive if you're added.
- CustomerHe does. Let's do that.
- AI agentDone, it's under Omar now, tomorrow at 9. I'll text you both the details.
After the call: The reservation moves to Omar's name with Fatima as an added driver, and the morning counter sees a note that the deposit card is in his name.
What your team gets
- Every pickup confirmed the evening before
- Card and licence problems caught before the counter
- Cancelled units returned to the fleet that night
- Added drivers and under-25 fees noted on the reservation
Questions
Does it call or text?
Your choice. Many branches text first and call when the renter doesn't reply.
What if they don't answer?
It leaves a short message and a text, and the reservation stays as booked.
Can it fill a cancelled unit?
The unit goes back on the fleet at once, so the next caller can reserve it.
