Bike & e-bike hire
Bike & e-bike hire software
Take bookings online before riders arrive, hand a bike over in under a minute, and hold a bond without a single paper form.
Bike hire lives on turnaround. Glovebox takes the booking and payment online before the rider walks in, records a size on every bike so they pick the right frame, and runs a licence-free, fuel-free handover that takes seconds at the counter.

The weekend counter
A ten-minute hire stuck behind car paperwork
A busy Saturday counter cannot stop to photocopy a licence and read an odometer for a bike. The paper waiver is on a clipboard, the day is sketched in a diary, and the card machine has no idea whether that frame is already out.
What the pickup captures
A bike handover shows only the fields a bike needs
Condition photos, a bond and a signature. No plate, no odometer, no fuel gauge, and no licence step in the way of a ten-minute transaction. Licence capture is there to switch on if your policy needs it, off by default.
Out the door in under a minute.
Pickup handover
2 stepsEverything a bike handover needs, on a phone at the counter.
No licence step, no fuel gauge, no odometer, no plate: a bike hire has none of them.
Covered without the cash
Hold a bond on a bike without a paper form
The bond is authorised on the customer's card at pickup and released automatically on return, or captured only if there is damage. No cash tin, no held ID, no clipboard.
You are covered, and the counter keeps moving.

What you will not need
Kayak hire aside, few hires are simpler. A bike never asks for a fuel reading, an odometer, a plate or, by default, a licence. You will not see those fields, because a bike does not have them.
Your bike-hire website, included
Every plan comes with a themed, mobile-first website that reads your bikes, sizes and live availability. Here is how a bike-hire homepage looks on the Coastal theme.

Frequently asked questions
Is Glovebox suitable for bike and e-bike hire?
Yes. Pick bike hire at signup and the whole product adapts to it, so your counter staff only ever see the fields a bike actually needs.
Do I have to collect a driver licence for bike hire?
No. Licence capture is off by default for bike hire, which keeps a busy counter moving, and you can switch it on in settings if your policy needs it.
Can I record bike sizes and show them online?
Yes. Every bike carries a size that appears on your public listings, so riders pick the right frame before they arrive rather than swapping at the counter.
Can I still take a bond on a hired bike?
Yes. The bond is authorised on the customer's card at pickup and released automatically on return, so you are covered without holding anyone's cash.
Can I move my existing bookings over?
Yes. We help you import your current bookings and fleet when you start, so you are not re-keying a season of data by hand.
Do I need a new website?
No, but you get one included. A themed, mobile-first site with booking built in comes with every plan, or you can embed the widget on the site you already have.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee and no per-booking cut, and the trial runs 90 days with no credit card to start.
