If your vehicle is sitting in your driveway when you are not using it, here is an alternative for you to earn from it – simply host your vehicle on Rofi and rent to hirers. Other hosts on Rofi have enjoyed a steady stream of customers while having the peace of mind from Rofi’s rental insurance.

Other than that, Rofi provides wide ranges of tools and support such as dynamic calendar and on-platform vehicle features, to help those taking this seriously to maximise their vehicles’ potential. But now, the new Flexi Time feature opens up new growth potential for competitive Rofi hosts.

Vehicle owners now have the opportunity to rent out their vehicles on Rofi with the highly anticipated Flexi Time feature. This not only allows them to settle a long term rental but also to rent their vehicles out more conveniently in short term to minimise idle time.

Flexi Time: Better supporting vehicle owners

To enable vehicle owners to make more out of Rofi, and based on a thorough analysis of current demand, we are introducing Flexi Time to unlock the potentials for vehicle owners. Since the launch, Rofi has offered vehicle owners the ability to set a fixed (per day) rental price covering a 100-kilometre limit per day. Rofi then uses this price to calculate booking total for hirers.

However, with Flexi Time, vehicle owners can now set their rental prices hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. This allows vehicle hosts to have more competitive pricing.

Consider this: when your vehicle lowers per day prices as a hirer increases the booking period, you could get stabilities from longer rental and benefit from a total of higher earnings. For a hirer that’s looking for a rental car for a whole month, your vehicle will be more competitive than others who fix their per day prices.

How is Flexi Time beneficial for vehicle owners and car rental?

Vehicles with the Flexi Time feature enabled tend to receive more bookings per month, and therefore more earnings. This is primarily because Rofi hosts tend to provide a more discounted price when hirers rent their vehicles for longer term. As Flexi Time allows more dynamic calculation factoring varying pricing provided by hosts, hirers are able to enjoy the discount benefit more. And who does not like discounts in car rentals?

Additionally, enabling Flexi Time allows hosts to price their vehicles hourly, and therefore providing hirers the convenience of booking their preferred vehicle instantly through the Rofi App.

How does it look in action? For example, certain hirers might only want to rent a car to attend a wedding, which they can drop off within six hours, while others, such as foreign tourists, could be interested in renting a Suzuki Wagon R in Colombo for three weeks to take on an island wide road trip with their families. Besides, there could be corporate requirements to rent a van every month, which Flexi Time can accommodate seamlessly.

Thus, Rofi allows hosts to better cater to various kinds of car rental requirements with the Flexi Time feature, providing opportunities to maximise their earnings and meet diverse customer needs.

How to enable Flexi Time

Enabling Flexi Time for your vehicle is a straightforward process. Simply contact your Rofi agent to update your vehicle’s settings and the Flexi Time feature. Make sure you have your new pricing details handy!

Before you do so, you may want to research what your competitors are doing with the vehicles. Ask yourself while researching – How much do they list their vehicles? How much discounts do they give for longer terms? What’s their requirements for a booking to be long term?
