Platform
The whole rental desk, in one place.
The Talara platform is the core of Talara: six parts that run a luxury car rental from the first call to the final statement, on the same cars, deals and rentals. Every business gets all six, on the web and on the showroom iPad.
In short
What is in the Talara platform?
The Talara platform is Vehicles, CRM, Forms & contracts, Payments, Reports & pay and Partner Program: the fleet, the deals, the signed agreement, the deposit and settlement, the P&L and rep pay, and partner-owned cars. They share one set of records, so nothing is typed twice.

What are the six parts of the platform?
Everything the rental desk needs, nothing it doesn't. Each part has its own page.
CRM
Every call and walk-in becomes a deal with an owner: quotes from the cars free on the dates, license and insurance scans, the deposit and Book.
Car rental CRM ›Forms & contracts
Your own rental agreement, laid out like your paper one, signed once in person or by link, with a PDF for every form.
Rental agreements and e-signatures ›Payments
Deposits, charges with their own tax, each payment approved, and every rental settled from the deposit with refunds, credits and waives.
Deposits and settlement ›Reports & pay
A P&L by month and by car, fleet, sales and partner reports with Excel exports, and rep pay with commission, salary and adjustments.
P&L and commission reports ›Partner Program
Rent cars that belong to owners, pay them in pay runs on your schedule, and give them a portal that never shows your renters or prices.
Partner-owned cars ›How do the parts work together?
Each rental moves through the platform in eight steps: Lead, Quote, Book, Agreement, Pickup, Release, Return and Close. The CRM turns a call into a quote from the cars free on the dates, Book secures the deposit, Forms & contracts gets your agreement signed, Vehicles records the check-out and check-in on the car's damage diagram, and Payments settles the rental from the deposit. Reports & pay and the Partner Program then read the same completed rentals for the P&L, rep pay and owners' pay. See how a rental runs in Talara.

FAQ
The platform, answered.
Is the platform priced apart from the modules?
Yes. Talara is priced per business: one monthly platform fee for the rental desk, plus a monthly fee for each module you turn on.
Can I use the platform without an iPad?
Yes. Everything works on the web, on any screen; the showroom iPad adds the camera and on-screen signatures for Pickup and Return.
Can I start with my own fleet and paperwork?
Yes. Vehicles are imported from a spreadsheet and your agreement's wording is loaded for you, so the platform starts with your own cars and documents.
