Levy Fleets vs Easy Rent Pro
Easy Rent Pro is the cheapest way to run a rental counter, and for some operators that is the right answer. Levy is for when the counter itself is the constraint.
TL;DR: A $299–699 perpetual licence is not close to any subscription platform on cost, and for a fully utilized single-location counter operation Easy Rent Pro is simply the better buy — it even runs offline, which Levy cannot. Levy is worth the difference only when counter hours are capping revenue, damage disputes are costing money, or the fleet includes vehicle types a rental system does not handle.

A perpetual licence is genuinely cheaper — say so plainly
Over five years a $699 Ultimate licence costs $699. Levy Rental on a 10-car fleet is $3 per vehicle per month, or $1,800 over the same period — closer than it used to be, but still more, and that gap is real. What the difference buys is hosting, continuous development, support, an iPad POS, ID verification, condition reports with photo evidence, and a toll pipeline. Step up to Connected and the car unlocks itself for a verified renter. If none of that changes what your fleet earns, the licence is genuinely the cheaper answer.

The only case where the price difference makes sense
Levy costs materially more. It is worth modelling only against revenue the current setup cannot capture.

These are estimates of demand a counter-hours-only operation turns away, at typical daily rates and 10–15% incremental utilization. If your fleet is already fully utilized during staffed hours, the incremental revenue is near zero and the perpetual licence is simply the better buy.

When to Choose Each Platform
Choose Levy Fleets if you...
- You are turning away bookings because nobody is there to hand over a key
- You want odometer, fuel, and location read from the vehicle rather than typed in
- Damage disputes are costing money and you want photo evidence with AI review
- You want online booking with integrated payments, deposits, and holds
- You run more than one location
- You run scooters, bikes, mopeds, or golf carts alongside cars
- You want managed rider support and dispute handling
Choose Easy Rent Pro if you...
- Total cost of ownership is the deciding factor — a $299–699 licence is genuinely hard to beat
- You want to own the software outright with no recurring fee
- Your location has unreliable internet and you need an offline desktop build
- You run a single location with a staffed counter and a fully utilized fleet
- You do not need telematics, connected access, verification, or AI
Why Operators Choose Levy Over Easy Rent Pro
Connected vehicle access with gated guest unlock — the rental can complete with nobody on site
Live GPS, odometer, and fuel or charge level from the vehicle rather than manual entry
AI damage detection on check-in and check-out photos plus a damage review queue requiring an outcome
Built-in identity verification with no per-check fee
Online booking, payments, deposits, and holds through Stripe at negotiated volume rates
Cars run alongside scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, golf carts, and LSVs on one dashboard
Questions from operators considering the switch
Is Levy worth ten times the price of a perpetual licence?
Only if it changes what the fleet earns or costs. For a fully utilized counter operation with no after-hours demand, no damage-dispute problem, and no interest in connected vehicles, the honest answer is no — buy the licence. Levy earns the difference when the counter hours are the constraint on revenue, when damage disputes cost real money, or when the fleet includes vehicle types a rental system does not handle.
Does Levy work offline?
Not in the way a Windows desktop build does. Levy Core On-Prem deploys the platform on your own infrastructure, but the connected access layer still needs connectivity to reach vehicles over an OEM API. If your constraint is genuinely no internet at the counter, Easy Rent Pro’s offline desktop build addresses something neither the hosted nor the on-prem deployment does.
What do I actually get for a recurring fee that a licence does not give me?
Hosting, continuous development, and support, plus the capabilities that only exist as a service: connected vehicle access, live telemetry, AI damage detection on photos, identity verification, payment processing at negotiated rates, and the option of managed rider support and dispute handling. A perpetual licence is a static build; none of those run without an ongoing service behind them.
Can I keep Easy Rent Pro and add Levy for some vehicles?
Yes, and for a cost-conscious operator that is often the sensible route. Keep the licensed system running the counter operation and put a small subset of connectable vehicles on Levy for after-hours and remote pickups. Allocate specific vehicles to each rather than sharing a pool, since the two systems do not sync availability.
Which is better for a fleet under ten cars?
For most small fleets running staffed rentals, Easy Rent Pro. The exception is a small fleet whose whole model is remote or self-serve — a vacation-rental car, an airport-adjacent operation with no counter, or vehicles placed at a hotel — where connected access is the product rather than an upgrade.
About Easy Rent Pro
Easy Rent Pro is the budget end of car rental software, and it earns that position honestly. It offers both cloud and Windows desktop builds, and the desktop version genuinely runs offline — which still matters for operators in places where connectivity is unreliable. Its defining commercial feature is the perpetual licence: $299 to $699 once, rather than a subscription forever. For a single-location operator running a modest fleet with no need for telematics, AI, or connected access, that is a rational purchase and Levy is not competing for it. The comparison only becomes interesting when the operator wants unattended pickup or connected vehicles.
Easy Rent Pro Features
- Reservation and booking management
- Rental agreements and contract printing
- Customer records and rental history
- Fleet availability and vehicle status
- Rate management with seasonal pricing
- Invoicing and payment recording
- Windows desktop build that runs without an internet connection
- Cloud build for multi-device access
- Basic reporting on rentals and revenue
- One-time purchase with no recurring subscription on the desktop licence
Easy Rent Pro Pricing
The perpetual licence model starts at $299 for Standard and runs up to $699 for Ultimate, purchased once with no recurring SaaS fee. The cloud version starts at $599 as a one-time setup cost plus $199 per year for hosting. This is dramatically cheaper over a multi-year horizon than any subscription platform, and the trade-off is scope: no telematics layer, no connected vehicle access, no AI, and a feature set aimed at core reservation and contract management.
