About this Product
Shopify was built to sell products you ship, not vehicles you hire out by the day. The Car & Vehicle Rental Booking app closes that gap. ECOSIRE designs, builds and installs a rental booking system directly into your Shopify store so customers can pick a pickup and drop-off date, time and location, see live availability for the exact car, bike or RV they want, and check out with a security deposit and insurance add-ons already calculated.
This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant App Store install. After purchase we schedule a short scoping call, build the app against your real fleet and theme, install it via Shopify OAuth as a custom/unlisted app, and hand it over tested. You get a working booking flow — not a generic template you have to wrestle into shape.
Under the hood it uses the right Shopify primitives. Each vehicle is a product (or variant) with rental rules, daily rates and deposit logic stored in metafields. Availability is tracked per unit so the same car can't be double-booked across overlapping dates, reconciled through the Admin GraphQL API and multi-location inventory when you operate from more than one depot. Webhooks (orders/create, orders/cancelled, fulfillments/create) keep the fleet calendar, confirmations and reminders in sync. Driver name, age, license number and add-on selections are captured as line-item properties and order metafields, then surfaced in an embedded Polaris fleet dashboard inside Shopify Admin.
The result: customers self-serve a rental in minutes, deposits and extras are priced correctly, and your team works from one fleet inventory dashboard instead of a spreadsheet. One-time build fee of $999 — no recurring app subscription, and the code is yours.

Who this is for
Independent car & bike hire operator
A local rental business with a fleet of 10–80 vehicles that wants online self-service bookings with deposits, instead of phone calls and a paper diary, without paying a monthly per-vehicle SaaS fee.
RV / motorhome and recreational rental company
An operator hiring out higher-value units that needs longer date ranges, security deposits, insurance waivers, mileage caps and license verification captured up front before a customer drives away.
Multi-depot rental brand on Shopify
A growing rental company running two or more pickup locations that needs depot-aware availability and a single fleet dashboard, using Shopify multi-location inventory rather than a separate booking platform.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car & Vehicle Rental Booking
Is this an app I download and install instantly from the Shopify App Store?
No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE builds the app specifically for your fleet and theme, then installs it into your store via Shopify OAuth as a custom/unlisted app. There is no public App Store listing or one-click download — you are buying a finished, installed system rather than a self-install plugin.
How long does delivery take after I purchase?
Typical delivery is about one working week from the kickoff call, depending on fleet size, the number of depots and how much custom pricing or insurance logic you need. After purchase we book a short scoping call, confirm requirements, build and test against your store, then install and walk your team through it. We give you a firm timeline once scoping is complete.
Do I pay a monthly subscription per vehicle?
No. The $999 is a one-time build fee. There is no per-vehicle or recurring app subscription charged by ECOSIRE for the app itself. You will still pay standard Shopify costs and your payment processor's transaction fees, and any optional ongoing support plan is separate and clearly quoted.
What happens with ongoing support, fixes and updates?
Every build includes a defined post-launch warranty window for bug fixes and adjustments at no extra cost. After that, you can keep it running as-is or take an optional support retainer for Shopify API version upgrades, new features and changes. Because the code is handed to you, you are never locked in — any developer can maintain it, though we recommend us since we built it.
How does it stop the same car being booked twice for overlapping dates?
Each physical vehicle is tracked as its own unit with a date-range availability calendar. When a booking is placed, the app reserves that unit for the selected pickup-to-drop-off window (plus any turnaround buffer you configure) and marks it unavailable for overlapping dates. Availability is reconciled through the Admin GraphQL API and, for multi-depot operators, respects Shopify multi-location inventory so a car only shows as available at the depot it actually sits in.
