Bike rental software: the 10 best tools compared (2026)

Online booking, deposit, contract, POS, workshop: we compared 10 software tools used by bike rental businesses in France and across Europe, with their public prices.

In short

In 2026, the 10 bike rental software tools best suited to French and European rental businesses are Lokki, Booqable, Twice Commerce, Louez.io, Rodeeo, Bike Rental Manager, Wilmar, Rentsoft, LoKisi and Odoo. Lokki is the only one that brings rental, POS and bike workshop together in a single tool in French.

At Lokki, we have been equipping rental businesses since 2019: seaside bike shops, e-bike rental operators in the mountains, workshops that rent out part of their fleet in summer. More than 2,500 rental businesses use our software today.

Here, we compare our tool with the software our customers used before us or that our prospects are testing alongside it. Lokki is at the top of the list because it is our software. For the other nine, we only use what each vendor publishes on its own website; the links are at the bottom of the page.

How to choose your bike rental management software

• Deposit: held on the card through pre-authorisation, without charging the customer.
• Contract and check-in/check-out report: generated and signed online, with photos at departure and return.
• POS and workshop: if you also sell and repair, sales, rentals and repairs all go through the same till.
• In French: software, support and contracts adapted to French law.
