Car rental management
Fleetiqo vs HQ Rental Software
HQ is built for agencies whose bookings arrive through their own counter and website. Fleetiqo is built for operators whose bookings arrive through Turo — and it gets them in without an API, by reading the confirmation emails.
What Fleetiqo is
Fleet management for people who rent their vehicles out. It reads your Turo confirmation emails from any inbox you connect, turns them into bookings, revenue and customer records, and combines them with the costs Turo cannot see — finance, insurance, maintenance, cleaning — to give you true profit per vehicle. One flat price of $49/month, unlimited vehicles.
What HQ Rental Software is
Car rental management software for traditional rental agencies — reservations, counter operations, rate rules, fleet utilisation and an online booking module, typically quoted per location and per module.
The difference that actually matters
Traditional rental software assumes you own the demand. The reservation starts in your system, at your counter or on your booking page, and everything downstream flows from that record.
Peer-to-peer operators have the opposite problem. The booking already happened, somewhere else, and the job is getting it out of Turo and into a system where it can be reconciled against expenses, insurance and the loan on the car. That is the gap Fleetiqo was built for.
The two converge at the point where a Turo operator wants direct bookings too — which is what the Fleetiqo booking website is for.

When HQ Rental Software is the better choice
A traditional rental agency with physical counters, seasonal rate tables, corporate accounts and staff working shifts. Purpose-built counter software handles that operating model better than Fleetiqo does.
- For a multi-branch agency with counter staff, HQ Rental Software is the better-shaped product and it is not close.
- Complex seasonal and corporate rate structures are beyond what the Fleetiqo booking website does today.
- Established rental software carries integrations with insurance, tolls and damage-management vendors that Fleetiqo does not.
Questions
- We run a small agency and also list on Turo. Which one?
- If most of your bookings come from Turo, start with Fleetiqo — getting that revenue reconciled automatically is the larger daily win, and the booking website covers your direct channel. If most bookings come from your own counter, use dedicated rental software.
- Does Fleetiqo do multi-location?
- You can manage an unlimited number of vehicles and give team members per-vehicle permissions, which covers most multi-site operators. It is not branch-and-counter software.
