The self-drive rental platform that actually handles Indian compliance
Booking management, government-verified RC and DL, GST-compliant invoicing with e-invoice IRN, a compliance tracker that keeps your permits and fitness certificates current, and a dashboard that tells you which of your 80 cars earn and which bleed. One platform for the business other platforms abroad do not understand.

Without it
- ×A customer walks in, and you verify their driving licence by holding it to the light — because the booking tool you bought did not think Indian KYC was a problem worth solving
- ×Hourly, daily, and weekly rates are in a price list on the wall; discounts for returning customers are remembered by the counter staff; and your invoices always need a 'one more correction'
- ×Insurance is due in 12 days on one car, fitness in 21 days on three cars, a permit expired last week on a fourth — and you find out when the RTO stops you at a checkpoint
- ×The owner asks 'which cars made money last quarter' and nobody can answer without three days of pulling fuel bills, toll receipts, and servicing invoices out of different folders
- ×A customer returns the car with a dent and 400 KM extra, and the final-bill adjustment happens on a calculator at the counter — with no audit trail the customer can trust
With Travel Softdrive
- Government-verified driving licence, Aadhaar, and vehicle RC checks happen inside the booking flow — sourced directly from the issuing authority, not scanned JPEGs
- Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rate cards with damage deposits, excess-KM charges, and late-return fees — applied automatically at billing
- Compliance tracker flags insurance, fitness, PUC, and permit renewals with alerts weeks before expiry — and blocks booking of a vehicle whose documents have lapsed
- Per-vehicle profitability dashboard aggregates revenue, fuel, servicing, insurance, EMI, and downtime into one P&L per car per month
- Final bill adjustments — extra KM, damage, late return, fuel topup — are itemised on a GST-compliant e-invoice with full audit trail both sides can see
What's inside
Booking & availability management
Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reservations with availability calendars per vehicle. Blackout dates, buffer times between bookings, and overbooking prevention built in. Walk-in bookings and online reservations unified on one ledger.
Government-verified KYC
Verify driving licence and Aadhaar directly from the issuing government authority — sourced data, not scans. RC verification for any borrowed vehicles in the flow. Your compliance stops depending on a counter executive's eyesight.
GST invoicing with e-invoice IRN
Auto invoice at return with excess-KM, late-return, fuel topup, and damage-deposit adjustments itemised. E-invoice IRN generated live on the government portal, digital signature, QR code, and credit notes for deposit refunds — full GST compliance without leaving the platform.
Compliance tracker
Per-vehicle insurance, fitness, PUC, permit, and road-tax expiry tracking. Renewal alerts 30, 15, and 7 days before expiry. Vehicle booking is blocked automatically if any document has lapsed — no more RTO surprises.
Fleet profitability dashboard
Revenue, fuel, maintenance, insurance, EMI, permit, tyres, and downtime rolled into one per-car P&L. Utilization hours vs available hours. Sort your fleet by profit contribution; decide what to retain, replace, or retire.
Vehicle & garage management
Owned vehicle registry with make, model, fuel, transmission, and garage location. Vehicle groups for rate management; garage coordinates for accurate handover-distance billing; service-history attachments.
GPS tracking & geofence
Live vehicle positions, route playback, and optional geofencing that alerts when a rented vehicle leaves a defined zone. Odometer and fuel-level captures at handover and return — the excess-KM and fuel bills stop being a debate.
Damage deposits & final settlement
Collect damage deposits at handover with card or UPI; adjust and refund at return through credit notes; keep the audit trail intact. Disputed charges can be threaded with photos attached on the invoice itself — not over customer-care email.
Frequently asked questions
Do you support hourly rentals alongside daily and weekly?+
Yes. Rate cards can be configured with hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and custom-duration slabs. Minimum rental duration, buffer time between bookings, and overlap prevention are all standard. A Creta booked daily and a Baleno booked hourly can share the same rate configuration.
How does government-linked KYC verification actually work?+
At booking, the customer receives a consent link; on approval, verified DL and Aadhaar data arrive in the platform directly from the issuing government authority — not scans. For customers who cannot complete the government-linked flow, you fall back to manual upload, but the verified flag stays off until the government-sourced record is received.
Can we charge and refund damage deposits through the platform?+
Yes. Damage deposits are collected at handover via an integrated payment gateway or captured as a physical-mode entry. At return, the deposit is refunded through a credit note or adjusted against excess charges — both paths produce a clean audit trail the customer and your accounts team see.
We work with aggregators too — we list some cars on a marketplace. Can we handle our own direct and aggregator bookings in one place?+
Yes. Direct-channel bookings (walk-in, website, phone) sit alongside aggregator bookings ingested via email or API. Rate cards differ by channel; the compliance tracker and vehicle availability are shared so a car cannot be double-booked across channels. Per-channel profitability shows which partnership is actually worth it.
What about insurance claims after a rental accident — do you help with that paper trail?+
The platform preserves every relevant record — pre-handover odometer and fuel photos, KYC proofs, the signed rental agreement PDF, the GPS trail during the rental, and the final-return damage photos. That package is what insurers actually need for a claim; we give you one click to export it rather than a week of hunting.
