About Bluebird RentWorks and Carcloud
RentWorks is Bluebird’s reservation and fleet system. Carcloud.com connects to it, and Bluebird and Barsnet have published an article on the Carcloud integration. Carcloud does not replace RentWorks.
What runs on the Bluebird RentWorks connection
Carcloud Web. Live rates and availability read from Bluebird RentWorks. Instant booking, with the reservation created in Bluebird RentWorks and confirmed to the renter immediately. View, modify and cancel for renters. Pay now, pay on pickup or a mix, set per rate. New vehicles detected from Bluebird RentWorks automatically, so your team adds imagery and marketing copy rather than re-keying fleet.
Carcloud B2B. Corporate and partner portals on the same Bluebird RentWorks connection, each with its own rates, login and terms.
Booking confirmations and messaging. Confirmation, modification and cancellation emails that vary by rate, vehicle, location or renter segment, with upsell offers where you want them. SMS for confirmations, pickup and return reminders.
Online check-in. Renters submit licence, contact and payment details before pickup, attached to the Bluebird RentWorks booking, so the counter queue is shorter at peak.
Carcloud AI Agent. Quotes live rates from Bluebird RentWorks, books, modifies and answers questions in any language, on your website, through the same connection as the website.
RentWorks operators range from single-site independents to multi-location groups. Carcloud Web keeps rates, extras and vehicle detection in sync with RentWorks and lets the operator define a different booking flow, confirmation and payment rule for every rate.
How the connection works
Bluebird RentWorks is the system of record. Carcloud reads rates, availability, locations, vehicle categories and extras from Bluebird RentWorks, and writes reservations, modifications and cancellations back. Rates are defined in Bluebird RentWorks; the experience around each rate, meaning booking flow, messaging, terms and payment method, is defined in Carcloud. Your team can view real-time logs of your own bookings in the Carcloud admin panel and use them to diagnose reservation software issues without waiting on a developer. Carcloud also keeps its own logs of every API rate request, quote, booking, issue and response time, which our support team can access to support you. The connection is maintained by Carcloud and guaranteed for the life of the customer relationship.
