Over the past few months we’ve been teasing the launch of Book My Hire V2 in our newsletters.
Now it’s here.
Book My Hire has been completely rebuilt from the ground up to deliver a faster, more modern booking experience — both for rental businesses and their customers.
The result is a system that works better on mobile devices, processes bookings more efficiently, and integrates more tightly with the rest of the iVech platform.
When customers hire a vehicle online, they expect the process to be simple.
They want to:
Quickly check availability
See clear pricing
Add extras
Pay online
Complete their booking without friction
Book My Hire V2 has been designed specifically around this journey, creating a smoother experience from start to finish.
A large proportion of vehicle hire bookings now happen on mobile devices.
Book My Hire V2 has been optimised for smaller screens, ensuring the booking process works smoothly whether customers are using a phone, tablet, or desktop.
The new version loads faster and presents booking information more clearly, helping customers move through the process quickly.
For rental businesses, that means fewer abandoned bookings and a better customer experience.
One of the biggest improvements in Book My Hire V2 is the integration with Blink Payment.
Customers can now pay securely online as part of the booking process.
This allows rental businesses to:
Take payments online
Reduce manual payment processing
Confirm bookings instantly
Improve cash flow
The entire payment process is fully integrated within the iVech platform.
Insurance options are a key part of many rental bookings, and Book My Hire V2 makes them much easier to manage.
The new system handles insurance options more clearly, including:
Collision Damage Waivers (CDW)
Additional protection options
Clear pricing for customers during booking
This helps customers understand their options while giving rental businesses greater flexibility in how they offer protection products.
Entering address information can often slow down online forms.
Book My Hire V2 now includes address lookup functionality, allowing customers to quickly find their address while completing their booking.
This makes the booking process faster and reduces the risk of incorrect or incomplete customer information.
Book My Hire V2 is more than just a visual update.
It’s a complete rebuild designed to improve:
Booking speed
Mobile usability
Payment processing
Customer experience
Operational efficiency
For rental businesses using iVech, it provides a modern online booking experience that works seamlessly with your fleet management system.
