Introduction

It's a high quality, native and responsive Laravel plugin to rent a car, created by experienced Leopedia web solutions engineers. 100% of it's code is written by using native laravel functions, so it much faster and secure than other similar plugins. Also - we made it compatible with Multi-language setup with native support.

Plus – we love mobile-first designs – that's why we used Bootstrap, Font Awesome icons, CSS3 and HTML5 techniques with smooth image resizing to 4 different sizes to make sure that your cars would look great on all mobile devices, tablets, full-screen previews and pages.

Now both – your car rental business and website can run smoothly, by accepting online reservations and managing your entire fleet, from one control panel. By offering highly-customizable reservation system, your customers will be able to see vehicles availability, and make online reservations with a few clicks.
