Why you should choose SimplyBook.me

Generic booking software has no idea how many of anything you actually own. Equipment rental needs a system that caps every item to what's really in the depot, takes a deposit up front, and gets the hire agreement accepted before gear goes out the door.

Cap each item to the number you own

Limit Bookings caps each rental item to the exact number of units you stock, so once they're all booked for that date, the slot closes itself automatically.

Show the kit and take a deposit online

Your Instagram photos appear on your booking page automatically, so renters see real gear before they book, then pay a deposit to lock in their reservation.

Agree hire terms before gear leaves

Terms and conditions asks every renter to accept your hire agreement before they can complete a booking, so nothing is unclear once the gear is out the door.

Equipment rental is one part of our wider events and entertainment booking system, covering event planners, entertainers and meeting rooms too.

Run every depot, get paid

  • Multiple Locations

    Add each depot as its own location under one account, with its own providers and services, so renters book the branch nearest them.

  • Accept payments & deposits

    Set up accept payments through your booking page, or take a deposit at booking, so a reservation is only confirmed once it's paid for.

  • Automated Reminders

    Send automatic email, SMS or WhatsApp reminders ahead of every booking, so renters remember their pickup and fewer reservations go unclaimed.
