Demos

Try it before installing

You can see the whole rental system working — both what your customers book through and what you manage it with — without downloading anything or creating an account.

Looking for the old WP Car Rental theme demos? They were retired along with the theme. The demos below run the stack that replaced it.
Two environments

Front end and dashboard

A rental site has two halves, and they are worth judging separately. The first demo is the half your customers see. The second is the half you live in.

01

Live booking demo

What your customers see

A working rental site built with Hello Elementor, the free version of Elementor and RentoKing. Search by pickup and return location and dates, compare the rental classes that come back with live prices, add insurance and extras, and go through the checkout.

02

Admin in your browser

What you manage it with

A complete WordPress installation booted in a browser tab, with RentoKing already active. Nothing is installed on your machine and nothing you do there persists, so it is a safe place to break things.

What to look at

Worth five minutes each

Rental software is easy to demo badly, because the hard parts only show up once dates and locations are involved. These are the places where the differences between systems actually appear.

Availability across dates

Search a range, then an overlapping one. A rental class that is fully booked drops out rather than accepting a reservation it cannot honour.

One-way rentals

Pick up at one location and return at another. Distance pricing between the two applies automatically where it has been configured for that pair.

Seasonal pricing

Move the dates into a different period and watch the daily rate change. Price plans override the base rates for any range you define.

Duration and early-bird discounts

Extend the rental, or push it further into the future. Longer bookings and earlier bookings can each carry their own discount.

Extras and insurance

Add a child seat or an insurance tier at the second step. Add-ons can be priced per day or per booking, and can carry their own stock limits.

The checkout itself

Complete a booking as a guest. No customer account is required, and the confirmation carries a secure link back to the reservation.

Fleet and locations, in the admin

In the dashboard demo, open a rental class and a location. Both are ordinary WordPress editing screens, not a separate application bolted on the side.

Bookings and pricing, in the admin

The booking list, the calendar view, and price groups shown as a Gantt chart. This is where most of the day-to-day work actually happens.

Honest notes

What the demos do not show

Both environments are shared and reset periodically, so the data you see is whatever the previous visitor left behind. The prices, locations and rental classes in the demo are illustrative — they are not a pricing recommendation.

The browser dashboard runs WordPress inside your own browser rather than on a server. It is genuinely the real admin, but it starts cold every time and will feel slower than the same software on real hosting. Payments are not connected in either demo, so the checkout completes without money moving.

Some screens belong to the Pro version and appear but are inactive. Everything listed above is in the free version.

After the demo

Running it on your own site

The free version installs from the WordPress plugin directory like any other plugin. It creates its own booking page on activation, so there is a working booking flow before you have configured anything at all.

If you are coming from the Car Rental System plugin, your existing fleet, locations, pricing, customers and bookings can be imported rather than re-entered by hand. The migration guide walks through the whole process.
