Car Rental Security Deposit Software

Manage rental payments and security deposits in one workflow.

Street Rental is car rental security deposit software that keeps booking payment and a separate security-deposit workflow connected to the reservation lifecycle.

Separate, but connected

A deposit hold is not rental revenue.

Street Rental records rental payment and security-deposit status separately while keeping both visible with the reservation. Configured workflows can cover authorization, release, partial capture, full capture, exception review, and completion after return.

Payment and deposit are different events

Street Rental keeps their purpose and status clear from booking through return and settlement.

  1. 1

    Collect rental payment

    Process the amount due for the booking through the operator's configured payment workflow.

  2. 2

    Authorize the deposit

    Place the configured security-deposit authorization or hold at the appropriate point in the rental flow.

  3. 3

    Review after return

    Release, partially capture, fully capture, or review the deposit according to return conditions and authorized operator action.

Payment processing for independent rental operators

Street Rental uses Stripe Connect payment architecture so the operator's configured payment account can process rental transactions. Availability, settlement timing, and banking behavior depend on Stripe, the payment method, the card issuer, and the operator's configuration.

  • Payment and deposit status by reservation
  • Configurable deposit requirements
  • Operator-controlled settlement actions
  • Return and exception workflows

FAQ

Car rental security deposit software questions

What is a car rental security deposit?

A car rental security deposit is an authorization or temporary hold used to support the operator's rental terms. It is separate from the charge for the rental itself.

Can Street Rental separate the rental payment from the deposit?

Yes. Street Rental tracks the booking payment and security-deposit authorization as separate financial events connected to the same reservation.

Can operators configure deposit amounts?

Yes. Operators can configure deposit amounts for eligible rental inventory and workflows, subject to their payment setup and rental terms.

When is the deposit collected or authorized?

The deposit is authorized at the configured point in the rental workflow. For supported traditional check-in flows, the authorization occurs during check-in rather than as a second rental payment.

What happens to the deposit after return?

After return, the configured workflow can release the hold, capture an authorized amount, or route the deposit for exception review before the rental is completed.

How long does a bank take to release a hold?

Street Rental can initiate the configured release, but the time for available funds to reappear is controlled by the card issuer or bank and can vary. Operators should not promise an exact release time.

Does Street Rental process payments for rental operators?

Street Rental connects rental payment workflows to the operator's configured Stripe connected account. Processing availability and terms depend on the operator's Stripe setup and supported payment methods.
