Log Sarathi DL checks at pickup, pass FASTag tolls straight onto the contract, forward challans to the actual driver, and raise a GST 18% tax invoice without juggling four tabs. Built in INR (₹) from day one.
CarCEO PRO is built around the operational reality of India — tax stack, regulations, payment rails and language all native, not bolted on.
Peak season in Manali, a tourist running out of FASTag balance on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, a challan that arrives three weeks after the car was returned — CarCEO PRO is shaped around these realities, not a generic US template translated to INR.
Capture the renter's driving licence number, expiry and class at pickup, attach a photo, and log the verification. Works alongside your manual Sarathi / Parivahan lookup so you always have proof of the DL state on the day of handover.
Record toll charges against the specific rental contract, with photo or statement attachment. When the bill lands from the bank, you already know which trip — and which renter — it belongs to.
You're the RTO-registered owner, so every e-challan and Virtual Court notice lands with you. CarCEO keeps a challan log per vehicle and per contract so you can forward it to the correct renter with dates, photo evidence and proof of driver.
Itemise base rent, extras, late fees and tolls, with GST at 18% applied and your GSTIN on every invoice. PDFs are numbered sequentially — clean for your CA and for any GSTR-1 reconciliation.
Renting out an Innova, Ertiga or any commercial-class vehicle? Flag the required DL class on the vehicle profile so the front desk is reminded at pickup — no more "we didn't realise the licence was LMV only".
Confirmations, pickup reminders, payment links and return alerts over WhatsApp — where your customers actually reply. SMS fallback uses DLT-registered templates so you stay on the right side of TRAI.
Set dynamic rates for Diwali, Christmas–New Year, summer hill-station runs and the Rajasthan winter circuit. Your Alto shouldn't rent for the same ₹ in Goa June as Goa December.
Hold a refundable deposit against the renter's card via Stripe, release on clean return, or deduct for damage / toll / challan with a clear itemised statement. Card-based today; UPI mandate support depends on your acquirer.
Tag each vehicle with its registration state and series (including BH-series for corporate fleets). Useful when one car moves between Delhi, Gurugram and Noida depots, or when you're running a pan-India corporate lease.
Indian self-drive demand is not one market. It's at least four: corporate weekday, weekend tourism, long-distance road-trip culture, and destination rentals. CarCEO PRO fits all of them.
Independent self-drive operators in India need GST registration, RTO-registered vehicles, valid permits (private or commercial, per vehicle class), and a verified driving licence check at the point of handover. CarCEO PRO is software — it doesn't file your GSTR, apply for your permit, or log into Parivahan on your behalf. What it does do: generate compliant contracts, log DL verification at pickup, keep a challan register per vehicle, itemise GST 18% on tax invoices, and keep your WhatsApp / DLT SMS communication on-record. Registrations and filings stay with you and your CA — the paper trail stops being a mess.

Indian rental SaaS typically bills ₹2,000–₹10,000 per month per user with extras stacked on top. CarCEO PRO keeps it to two plans. Starter is free forever (limited fleet) so you can run real contracts before you pay a paisa. Ultimate is $35/month — roughly ₹2,900 — with GST 18% tax invoicing included on both.
