Handing the keys of a €90,000 German saloon to a client is not the same business as renting a compact at an airport counter. The sums involved are larger, the client is far less forgiving, and one argument about a kerbed wheel or a withheld deposit runs into thousands. Software for a premium fleet therefore has to do more than take bookings. It has to make sure nothing is left to chance: every handover documented, every payment secured before the keys move, every owner paid a figure nobody has to work out by hand.
Corsiva OS was built by people who do this work. The Corsiva team rents high-value vehicles out of Chambéry across four locations in Savoie, and the software began as the tool they needed themselves. It shows in what the product insists on — evidence you can still produce months later, money that lands on time, deliveries and collections planned properly, and a brand on screen that is yours rather than ours. Here is what actually matters when a single mistake costs more than a week's rentals.
What the high end demands
On a valuable car, a mistake is expensive. The client wants a smooth, unbureaucratic experience; the operator needs a tight process behind it to cover the risk. Software written for luxury rental has to serve both at once — polish at the front, discipline behind it — rather than making you choose one and improvise the other.
- Bookings and fleet planning — availability for every vehicle in a single view, no double bookings, and rotations between locations you can plan at a glance.
- Several locations, one screen — run multiple branches or pickup points from one interface, so the whole operation sits in one place instead of being scattered across separate calendars.
Evidence: inspections and deposits on high-value cars
This is where the premium business is won or lost. A dispute over a luxury car is settled with proof, not recollection. Corsiva OS puts the vehicle inspection on a phone: timestamped photos, pre-existing damage logged, mileage and fuel recorded, the whole thing confirmed by the client's electronic signature at departure and again on return. Every rental leaves behind a file you can put in front of anyone.
On the money side, the deposit is taken as a card authorisation through Stripe: the amount is held, the client is not charged, and it is captured only if something genuinely warrants it. Combined with pre-payment, it removes the unpaid balances and late transfers that hurt most when the amounts are large. Our comparison page sets this approach against what other platforms do.
Getting paid, and invoicing that stands up
Rentals at this price leave no room for loose bookkeeping. Payments run through Stripe, and each one produces a clean, traceable document your accountant can work from without re-keying a thing.
- Automatic pre-payment — the rental is settled before the vehicle leaves, so nobody spends the following week chasing it.
- Automatic invoicing with continuous sequential numbering — every payment taken is recorded and kept on file with the rental it belongs to. Billing rules are national: in France, the NF525 standard sets out what is expected of invoicing software, and if you invoice elsewhere, check what your own tax authority requires and make any vendor tell you in writing what it covers in that country.
Concierge service is the part clients remember
At this level, the service is the product. Corsiva OS handles concierge work natively: delivery and collection at the client's hotel, at the airport or at their door, with a chauffeur option for the most demanding jobs. Those deliveries and collections are scheduled alongside the rental itself — no separate spreadsheet, no phone calls to keep two versions of the plan in step.
None of this is decoration. It is what turns a transaction into something a client repeats and passes on. Because the tool was designed by an operator who runs concierge rental for a living, the awkward moments — a driver arriving before the car is ready, a return address that changes on the morning itself — were worked out on the road, not in a spec document.
Paying owners without a spreadsheet
Plenty of premium operators rent out cars that belong to somebody else. The model works well, but splitting the revenue by hand turns into a monthly ordeal as soon as the fleet grows. Corsiva OS handles the owner payout automatically on whatever split you have agreed — 70/30, typically. As each rental is paid, the owner's share is calculated and recorded.
Owners receive statements they can read and check for themselves, which protects the one thing the model runs on — trust. You can take on more cars without adding back-office hours to match.
White label: your name on the screen
Nobody in this market wants to rent under someone else's logo. Corsiva OS runs in white label: your name, your colours, your identity, from the quote through the inspection and the signature to the invoice. The software steps back so that your business is the one the client deals with.
Everything is hosted in Europe and GDPR-compliant, which counts for a great deal when your clients are private individuals who guard their privacy. White label is an add-on at €29/month, and it comes with the Ultra plan.
Three plans, and what they cost
Pricing follows the size of your fleet and the level of service you sell. On a 1-year commitment (−16 %): Lite at €59/month to start, Business at €98/month for established operators, and Ultra at €199/month for demanding, multi-site fleets — all excluding VAT. Without commitment, the same three plans are €70, €117 and €237/month. Pricing is indicative.
Lite can be extended one add-on at a time: Stripe payments at €15/month, automatic emails at €5/month, and owner accounts, statements and automatic revenue sharing at €19/month. A public booking site connected to the OS costs €39/month plus €400 to set up. Business already covers payments, emails, concierge and the deposit; Ultra adds white label on top. The pricing page has the full breakdown and a builder that totals your own configuration.
The bottom line
Running a prestige fleet means giving the client a faultless experience while covering yourself completely, and you only get both when the software takes care of the second half quietly. Proof from inspections and card authorisations, payment taken up front, deliveries and collections planned alongside the rental, owners paid without a spreadsheet, and your own brand on every document: that is what it takes to rent at this level without holding your breath. The quickest way to judge it is to watch it handle a real week of your own bookings, on your own cars — ask our team for that on the contact page.
