FAQ

Car rental on WhatsApp: common questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Can a chatbot take car rental bookings on WhatsApp?

Yes. MonoChat collects dates, pick-up and return location, car class and customer details in the conversation, then passes the booking to your team or to your reservation system through the API, webhooks or custom functions.

Can it show real-time availability and prices?

The assistant answers from the information you give it. For live availability and pricing, connect your reservation or fleet system with custom functions or the API so the assistant can look them up during the conversation.

How are driving licence and ID documents collected?

Customers send photos or PDFs in the chat. The files are kept with the conversation in the shared inbox, where your staff can review them before confirming the booking.

Can customers pay the deposit or rental fee in the chat?

Yes. MonoChat creates a payment link with your own payment provider account and sends it in the conversation. Payment events can trigger an automatic confirmation message.

Does it work in Arabic, English and Turkish?

Yes. The AI assistant can reply in the language the customer writes in, which matters at airports and tourist destinations with international renters.

How much does it cost to start?

You can start on the free plan, which includes 1,000 outgoing messages a month, and upgrade when your volume grows. See the pricing page for current plans.
