MOSTLY GREAT EXPERIENCE
Mostly great experience. One thing I would add would be tutorials for a new employee. Many positives, though. The ability to contact support and get a quick response has always been appreciated. Several members of the support staff will call me directly when we have issues that can't be resolved with an email. If the fix doesn't correct the problem, they are always quick to follow up.

My Review of Bluebird Car Rental Software
Overall, I have had good experiences with RentWorks compared to other rental software I have used. Their software is very useful and easy to use, other than for Apple products, and it has definitely had a positive influence on the productivity of the company I work for. I also have had very excellent service from their support staff, and for these reasons, I would recommend this product to other companies.
PROSI really liked that the software had numerous features that made my daily duties easier to perform, and for the most part, it was easy to use. I also have had excellent experiences with their support team whenever I have had any issue or have needed to set up a new machine.
CONSI do not like that they do not offer easier ways to install their software on Apple computers or mobile devices. They do provide a workaround that is accessible through an internet browser; however, I have found it not to be very user friendly and is honestly kind of clunky compared to merely opening an application. My only other complaint is that the software eventually times out from the server and either has error messages or needs to be restarted. I understand that there is probably no getting around this, but it should take longer to have issues in my opinion.
Reasons for switching to RentWorks
Because there was a drastic price increase with TSD software and Bluebird was much more affordable.
Vendor Response
Hi Scott, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for the kind words! There is in fact a way to access the software through a browser and the software is also available in the Apple store and the Google Play store. Feel free to get in touch with me if you'd like more details. Francine.Dunn@barsnet.com Thanks again for the feedback!

Rental Software
Not Bad
PROSThe software is not bad, but for it is very outdated! It could REALLY use a revamp. The software in a sense is very bland and straight forward, i liked having the ability to do just about ANYTHING on this program but that was also the issue!
CONSMy biggest issue was intermittent communication issues between our servers, other than that it was a very basic simple to use software once you learned how to use it, but it is NOT a software you can jump into and excel in
Vendor Response
Hi, We'd like to further investigate the server communications issues you experienced. Many factors could cause this including latency. Please reach out to the support team at support@barsnet.com.

Over a decade with good results.
We've been using RentWorks for over a decade and it handles all of our automotive rental contracts, and many aspects of our fleet management and offers great reporting. The interface feels out of date and the workflow is sometimes unintuitive or convoluted, but the customer service reps are good at walking us through how to most effectively work with it when we have questions. Integrated credit card processing is available (through Element/Vantiv), which saves the work of running separate credit card terminals and simplifies PCI compliance and tokenization of cards so that additional charges/credits can be easily processed when vehicles are returned or extended. Updates are released once a year or more, usually with bug fixes and some new features. We evaluate the various software options every couple years and keep finding RentWorks to be the best value and fit for our operations.
PROSThe price is right. The reporting engine is good and the fleet management features work well for our needs across 3 locations. We've been working with their web API for a while and with any luck, we'll have online reservations working through our website soon. (They also have a turn-key web reservation system available if you don't need extensive customization.) As the software is under constant development, there is a chance to have your feedback lead to actual changes in upcoming software releases (to the extent your requests are in line with their development goals).
CONSUser interface design is a frustratingly low priority. If a feature can technically be said to "work," it won't typically merit the additional development time to integrate it cleanly. The whole interface is designed at a fixed 1024x768 resolution (the same resolution supported by my IBM PS/2 back in 1994) which feels pretty inefficient, requiring simple tasks (eg. checking out a car) to be broken into 6 or more screens that need to be tabbed back and forth between. The print engine is ancient and horrible in every way conceivable. There is no simple installer package, so software installs are unnecessarily complicated and error-prone enough that the company suggests having their customer support log in remotely to install the web client on each computer themselves for a cost.

Excellent Easy to Use software package
Having used other "big ticket" software packages in the past, it was refreshing to have a comprehensive, easy to use rental software package that was reasonably priced. Team this with extraordinary Customer Service, a CEO who is interested in her customer's experiences, and eager to help with any issues that may develop. And importantly a CEO who is accessible when you wish to speak with her. Great Software, great people.... great partners in business.
PROSIt has every report you may need to operate your business efficiently, and if you need a new one, they can set it up for you.... and it is easy to use.
CONSSo many reports you sometimes have difficulty remembering where to find those reports you need.

RW Overview
RW has allowed us to get rid of manual processes in regards to Wizard flowing into our accounting program, which is great. It does still seem to have quite a few glitches which are why I didn't give it 5 stars. The data often gets backlogged and when working in RW and I need to contact support regularly to fix issues. Working with Louise has been great, she is very helpful but when she is gone it can be difficult to find the right person.

RentWorks Review
The customer support has been great every time that I have had to call in, however I have had to call in a lot. I feel I was not properly trained on the software from the beginning. A lot of things I have had to figure out on my own and I doubt if I am utilizing the software to the best of its abilities. I feel a trainer should spend a day with you in person. The webinars and over the phone training do not allow sufficient training. As well my accounting department has had one heck of a time trying to get the crossover to Sage set up. The program is great, user-friendly, once you figure it out!
