Both Fleetwire and Rent Centric help vehicle rental businesses manage reservations, fleets, and payments. The real difference isn't the feature checklist — it's how you buy and start. Rent Centric is a traditional, sales-led platform: you request a demo, get a quote, and go through a guided setup. Fleetwire is self-serve: you sign up, publish a booking website, and take a test booking the same afternoon — no call required.
This comparison is written by the Fleetwire team, so read it with that in mind — but we've kept it honest, including where Rent Centric is the better fit.

With Fleetwire, the buying process is: read the pricing page, start the 14-day trial (no card), build your storefront, decide. You can do all of that tonight, alone, and know exactly what it costs.
With a quote-based platform, the process is: fill out a form, wait for a sales rep, sit through a demo, and get a price tailored to your fleet — before you've touched the product. For a large multi-location agency, that hand-holding is a feature. For an independent operator with a dozen cars who just wants to stop taking bookings over text, it's friction.
We think you should be able to see the price and try the software without a conversation. So we published all of it: plans at $34 (5 vehicles), $89 (15 vehicles), and $279 (150 vehicles) per month, extra vehicles at $3/month each, no setup fee, month-to-month. If that's on the page, you can decide on your terms.
1. Transparent, self-serve, no sales call. Pricing is public, the trial needs no credit card, and most operators publish a working booking page in their first session. You never have to "request a quote" to find out if Fleetwire fits.
2. Turo & Getaround sync. If part of your fleet lives on Turo or Getaround, Fleetwire syncs those calendars so marketplace bookings and your direct bookings never double-book. It's the platform built for hosts going independent — keep the marketplaces as a channel while you build direct bookings that don't pay 25–40% per trip. This isn't something a traditional agency system offers.
3. Live the same day. Add vehicles, connect Stripe, publish your storefront, take a test booking — in an afternoon, without onboarding sessions. If you get stuck, support and free migration help are there.
4. A renter experience built this decade. Single-page checkout, Apple/Google-Pay-ready payments via Stripe, automated ID verification, e-sign agreements sent automatically, and deposits as card holds instead of charges — all under your brand, on your own domain (Premium).
Fair is fair:
If that's your business, Rent Centric (or a similar traditional system) may serve you better. If you find "request a quote" buttons exhausting and want to just try the thing — that's who Fleetwire is for.
We'll migrate your vehicles, customer list, and calendar for free on Standard and Premium plans — usually within a day or two. Book a 20-minute demo and we'll build your storefront live on the call, with your branding, before you commit to anything. Or skip the call entirely and start a free trial — the storefront you build is yours to keep through the trial.
How much does Rent Centric cost?
Rent Centric doesn't publish its pricing — you request a demo and receive a quote based on your fleet and
needs. Fleetwire publishes everything: $34/mo for 5 vehicles, $89 for 15, $279 for 150, plus $3/month per extra
vehicle, with no setup fee and a 14-day free trial that doesn't require a credit card.
Can I try Fleetwire without talking to sales?
Yes. Start the 14-day trial with no credit card, build your storefront, and take a test booking the same day —
no demo required. (A live demo is available if you'd like one, but it's optional.)
Does Rent Centric sync with Turo?
Not that we're aware of — it's built for traditional agency operations, not Turo/Getaround hosts. Fleetwire
syncs Turo and Getaround calendars so marketplace bookings automatically block your direct-booking availability.
Do I need a website to use Fleetwire?
No. Every Fleetwire account includes a hosted booking storefront, and you can also embed your fleet on an existing
website or WordPress site.
How long does it take to switch?
Most operators are live the same day. Free migration is included on Standard and Premium plans and typically takes a
day or two.
