Create a vehicle in myrentcar

Find out how to create a new vehicle or car in myrentcar.

 

This Dashboard button takes you to the Vehicles menu in myrentcar car rental software.

Clicking on the central icon takes you to the list, from which you can create a new vehicle.

Throughout the form, a red asterisk indicates an item that must be completed.

The first step in the creation process is numbering.

Enter the desired fleet number and registration here. These two fields can be identical. 

It is possible to set up an automatic counter for fleet numbers. Myrentcar will then take care of numbering your vehicles.

Once these two elements have been entered, the vehicle file opens. At the top, enter the vehicle make and model. The serial number will be added later.

You should now give priority to completing the following 3 tabs:
