Levy Fleets vs RENTALL
RENTALL has decades of counter-rental depth behind it. Levy is built for the rental that happens when the counter is closed.
Plus roughly $650 setup for training and data migration
Of car-sharing revenue, $0 setup
Guest unlock gated by OTP, ID check, and trip window
Three merged platforms with decades of rental workflow
Keep the counter. Add the hours it cannot cover.
A rental business with a staffed counter and a real reservation book does not need to abandon that to add self-serve pickup. The common pattern is to keep RENTALL running the core counter operation — walk-ups, corporate accounts, insurance replacement, the fleet ledger — and put a subset of the fleet on Levy for after-hours, airport-adjacent, or fully remote pickups that the counter hours cannot serve. Those are additional rental days on vehicles that would otherwise sit, rather than a migration of existing business.

Per-vehicle versus revenue share, honestly
RENTALL at $4–5 per vehicle per month is inexpensive software — a 100-car fleet is roughly $5,000–6,000 a year plus the one-off setup. Levy at 8% of car-sharing revenue on the same fleet costs far more if the fleet is busy, and far less if it is seasonal or partly idle. The comparison is not really about software cost: RENTALL wins that outright on a high-utilization counter fleet. Levy earns its place on the rental days a counter cannot serve, on damage recovery, and on operations you no longer staff. If your fleet is fully utilized through a staffed counter, RENTALL is cheaper and you should say so.

| Live telemetry | Live GPS, odometer, and fuel or charge level | Available via telematics integrations rather than natively |
| Remote commands and audit | Lock, unlock, locate, with provider responses and failure classification logged | Not documented as a native capability |
| AI damage detection | Google Gemini AI reviews check-in and check-out photos | Structured damage processing workflow, manually reviewed |

| API access | Full API and webhooks on every plan | Integration capability, typically at higher tiers |
What after-hours availability is worth
The case for adding connected access to a counter operation is not cost savings on software — RENTALL is inexpensive per vehicle. It is rental days you currently cannot sell because nobody is there to hand over a key.
Recoverable demand assumes 10–15% incremental utilization from serving hours the counter cannot, at typical daily rates. This varies enormously by market — airport-adjacent and tourist markets see far more after-hours demand than suburban ones. Model it against your own turn-away log before assuming the numbers hold.

When to Choose Each Platform
Choose Levy Fleets if you...
- You are losing bookings to hours your counter cannot cover
- You want renters to collect vehicles with nobody on site, gated by verification and trip window
- Your fleet is seasonal and you would rather pay nothing in the off months
- Damage disputes are costing real money and you want AI detection with a photo evidence trail
- You run scooters, bikes, mopeds, or golf carts alongside cars
- You want a modern API and webhooks without an enterprise tier
- You want the option of managed rider support and dispute handling
Choose RENTALL if you...
- You run a traditional counter operation and rate management, fleet accounting, and corporate billing are the core of the job
- You want a single vendor for counter rental, fleet accounting, and corporate billing in one system
- You need depreciation schedules and full fleet financial reporting
- You sell insurance and ancillary products at the counter as a revenue line
- You are a dealership needing a dedicated loaner module inside the rental system
- You are already on Bluebird, Thermeon, or Navotar and the migration path is the low-risk option
Why Operators Choose Levy Over RENTALL
Built for unattended pickup: connected vehicle access is the foundation, not an integration
No setup fee — RENTALL quotes roughly $650 for training and data migration
Revenue-share pricing means no per-vehicle cost while a car sits off-fleet or out of season
AI damage detection on check-in and check-out photos, plus a damage review queue requiring an outcome
Cars run alongside scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, golf carts, and LSVs on one dashboard
Managed plans cover rider support, payment operations, disputes, and chargeback defence
Most operators add rather than migrate — allow three to four weeks
A full migration off a rental management system is a serious project involving fleet ledger, accounting, and historical contracts. Adding a self-serve channel alongside it is not.
Pick the subset
Choose the vehicles that would benefit from unattended pickup — typically newer, OEM-connectable model years parked somewhere accessible outside counter hours.
Connect and configure
Set the access path per vehicle, verify lock and unlock on each, and configure rates, mileage rules, deposits, the rental agreement, and ID verification requirements for the self-serve channel.
Open the hours the counter cannot
Publish after-hours availability and take the first bookings. RENTALL continues running the counter operation, the fleet ledger, and everything already working. Reconcile utilization across both to see what the new channel actually added.

About RENTALL
RENTALL is the biggest consolidation story in car rental software. In 2024 Bluebird Auto Rental Systems acquired both Thermeon and Navotar, merging three of the most established rental management platforms under a single brand. Between them they served thousands of independent and mid-size rental operators worldwide, and the combined product is a genuinely deep rental management suite: reservations, fleet control, rate management, damage processing, insurance products, online booking, customer portals, multi-location support, and a dedicated dealership loaner offering. It is counter-first software. Levy is vehicle-first — built so a renter can collect a car with nobody there.
RENTALL Features
- Full reservation and rate management for counter operations
- Fleet control with vehicle status, availability, and movement tracking
- Damage processing and claims workflow
- Insurance and ancillary product sales at the counter
- Online booking engine and customer portals
- Multi-location and multi-branch support
- Dedicated dealership loaner module
- Rental agreements and contract generation
- Accounting, invoicing, and fleet financial reporting
- Corporate and account-based billing
- Decades of rental-industry workflow depth across the three merged products
RENTALL Pricing
Generally quoted in the $4–5 per vehicle per month range for mid-sized fleets, with a setup fee of around $650 covering training and data migration. Enterprise pricing for larger operations is custom and quoted directly. Operators migrating from Thermeon or Navotar are being moved onto the unified RENTALL platform, and should verify that the specific features they relied on in the legacy product exist in the combined system before committing.
