First-year cost
Annual subscription plus one-time fees, before add-ons and excluding VAT, each vendor in its own currency (no conversion, since exchange rates move):
| Fleet | HQ Rental Software, year 1 | Corsiva OS Business, year 1 (12 × €98) | Corsiva OS Ultra, year 1 (12 × €199) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 vehicles | Basic: $1,320 + $550 = $1,870 | €1,176 | €2,388 |
| 11 to 25 vehicles | Standard: $1,925 + $950 = $2,875 | €1,176 | €2,388 |
| 26 to 50 vehicles | Professional: $2,750 + $1,500 = $4,250 | €1,176 | €2,388 |
| More than 50 vehicles | Enterprise: calculator + $1,500 | €1,176 | €2,388 |
From year two, HQ drops back to the subscription alone ($1,320, $1,925 or $2,750 a year); Corsiva OS Business stays at €1,176 a year whatever the fleet. With several branches, budget $50 a month per extra branch at HQ, or the Ultra plan at Corsiva OS. The scope differs: HQ includes the channel manager from Basic, Corsiva OS includes owner management (the Fleet desk) and the card-hold deposit from Business. Our guide to car rental software pricing goes further.
What Corsiva OS does differently
- No vehicle cap: going from 10 to 60 vehicles changes neither the plan nor the price.
- No onboarding fee: migration is free; only the optional booking website has a setup cost.
- Owner-managed fleets built in: owner accounts, statements, automatic revenue sharing and a referral partner portal. See our guide to car rental fleet management.
- Card-hold deposits: the amount is blocked via Stripe, never charged, released on return, with no terminal. Our security deposit guide explains how it works.
- A rental operator on the other end: the software is built and used by a rental company, and an advisor answers the phone 7 days a week, 9am to 6pm Paris time, in English or French.
When HQ Rental Software is the better fit
HQ is more complete on several fronts. It is the logical choice if:
- you distribute your fleet on Expedia, Kayak or Turo: HQ's channel manager syncs availability, Corsiva OS has no equivalent yet;
- you need telematics, insurance or toll management: HQ integrates Geotab, Invers and Zubie among others;
- you build your own tools: webhooks from Standard, API access from Professional;
- your customers speak many languages: multilingual support is included from Standard;
- you run long-term leasing, or rent motorbikes, boats or equipment;
- you want software proven at scale: HQ shows more than 230 reviews on Capterra, public social proof that Corsiva OS, a younger product, does not have yet.
Switching from HQ Rental Software to Corsiva OS
Migrating your data is free when you subscribe, and your advisor handles it. You start with a free month on the full Business plan, with no vehicle limit, then pick your plan. Check the end date of your current contract before you switch.

On 5 October 2026, HQ lists $120 a month for 10 vehicles (Basic), $175 for 25 (Standard), $250 for 50 (Professional) and a calculator beyond that (Enterprise), plus a one-time onboarding fee of $550, $950 or $1,500.
How does its pricing model differ from Corsiva OS?
Each HQ plan is capped by vehicle count and includes one branch, then $50 a month per extra branch. Corsiva OS charges a flat fee in euros with unlimited vehicles: €59, €98 or €199 a month excl. VAT on a one-year commitment, €70, €117 or €237 without; multi-site is included in Ultra.
Does Corsiva OS have a channel manager like HQ?
No. HQ syncs availability with your website, Expedia, Kayak and Turo. Corsiva OS does not connect to OTAs at this stage: it focuses on direct bookings, with a website under your brand linked to the software.
Are there onboarding fees with Corsiva OS?
Data migration is free. Only the booking website, if you take that add-on, carries a €400 setup fee excl. VAT, on top of €39 a month.
Which one fits a premium fleet or owner-managed cars?
If your business relies on OTAs, telematics or many integrations, HQ is better equipped. If you manage vehicles on behalf of owners and want a fixed price whatever the fleet size, Corsiva OS is built for that case.
