How it works

From first question to followed-up lead.

01

Connect the rental knowledge base, fleet classes, cars, prices, deposits, locations, and handover rules.

02

InstantDesk checks availability from internal bookings and optional external calendar data before offering cars.

03

Confirmed bookings create records, block the calendar, prepare PDFs, and notify staff for follow-up or live handover.

Example use cases

Use case example

A visitor asks if an automatic compact car is available from Krakow Airport tomorrow. InstantDesk checks booking logs with a 2-hour buffer, offers exact matches first, captures contact details, prepares the confirmation, and hands over if no suitable option exists.

Website visitors ask for car availability outside office hours.

Customers request booking extensions and need a fast price update.

Travelers need airport pickup instructions, terminal guidance, or Google Maps pins.

Staff need documents collected before pickup without manual chasing.

Existing website calendar bookings need to be considered before the AI offers a car.

FAQ

Can InstantDesk check real fleet availability?+

Yes. The rental module is designed to check internal bookings first, apply configurable cleaning buffers, and optionally consider an external booking calendar integration.

Can customers upload licenses or passports?+

Yes. The document collection flow includes a consent notice, secure document records, and an OCR service layer placeholder for extracting document details before human review.

What happens when no car is available?+

The assistant offers same-class alternatives first, then nearest-class alternatives. If there is still no good option, it triggers human handover.

Can this push bookings to our existing website system?+

The module includes provider name, API URL, API token, sync direction, webhook URL, sync status, and manual sync controls so custom integrations can be added cleanly.
