AI summary

Clean, reliable cars and helpful staff drove most 5-star reviews. A few customers mentioned a slow handover queue on Saturday, worth a look at the counter schedule.

FAQ for rental cars & dealerships

How long does onboarding take?

Within a business day. We connect your Google Business Profile and review platforms, ship NFC cards for the counter and QR for key fobs and contracts, and configure brand voice with you. First reviews start flowing in 24-48 hours.

Does it work in multiple languages?

Yes. The platform is fully bilingual (BG/EN), and AI replies are written in the customer's own language - 30+ languages supported with authentic tone, not machine translation.

What happens with a negative review?

AI spots sensitive feedback and instantly alerts the right person, so you can respond fast. Every customer still keeps the option to post a public review.

Does it integrate with my booking or DMS system?

Yes. We connect to your booking or DMS system via webhook, so review emails and SMS fire automatically after a rental or service - no manual exports.

Does it work for multi-location fleets?

Yes. Multi-location dashboard, role-based access for branch managers, brand voice configured centrally. You see leaderboards by location, department and staff member.

How is ROI measured?

You track review velocity and rating delta month over month. Plus the Local Visibility scanner shows Google Maps rank changes. Our customers average +1 full star within 90 days.
