Odoo Rental for equipment hire and rental businesses

Rental businesses need to know three things at all times: what is out, when it comes back and what it earns. Odoo Rental handles rental quotes, availability, pickups, returns and late fees in the same system as invoicing and inventory.

01

What we configure

Rental pricing and availability are where most of the setup work goes.

Rental pricing

Rates by hour, day, week or month, with price lists for trade and retail customers.

Availability

A schedule showing booked, picked-up and returned items so you never double-book.

Pickup and return

Checkout and check-in steps with condition notes and stock moves.

Serial-tracked assets

Each machine tracked individually, with its rental history and maintenance.

Late fees and deposits

Automatic late charges and deposit handling on the rental order.

02

Rental plus maintenance

Rented equipment comes back needing inspection, cleaning or repair. Linking Rental to Odoo Maintenance creates a service step after each return, so damaged items are not rented out again before they are fixed.

Online booking through the Odoo website can also show live availability for customers who rent without calling.
