Car Rental

Know exactly when every car left and came back.

Rental operations run on movements, and most depots still record them by hand. Parka's ANPR time-stamps every departure and return automatically, whitelists the whole fleet, and feeds clean movement data straight into your rental software.

What we help you solve

Fleet movements, depot space, and clean data.

Automatic movement log

Every plate, in and out, time-stamped with photo evidence — no gate clipboard, no missed returns.

Whole-fleet whitelist

Your fleet moves freely through every gate; everything else follows visitor rules. Updated by API, not by hand.

Depot space control

Live occupancy for returns, ready lines, and overflow — see the depot's true state at any moment.

The depot guide

ANPR for rental depots and airport rental centres.

The return is the record

Late returns, disputed drop-off times, and 'where is that car' searches all trace to one gap: nobody wrote down the movement. ANPR closes it — the moment a vehicle crosses the gate, the plate, direction, and time are recorded with a photograph, automatically, around the clock.

That log settles customer disputes in seconds, feeds utilisation reporting, and catches vehicles that came back but never got checked in.

A whitelist that manages itself

The fleet changes weekly; a manual gate list is stale by Tuesday. Parka takes fleet updates by API — additions, disposals, transfers — so your vehicles always move freely while staff cars, transporters, and visitors each follow their own rules.

Off-airport depots gain a quiet extra benefit: enforcement against random public parking that eats return capacity.

Data your rental system can use

Movement events stream into your fleet or rental software by API: real gate-verified timestamps against every registration. Utilisation, turnaround time, and idle-on-lot hours stop being estimates.

Parka is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-first, with the same platform serving UK and Irish operations — including rental centres inside airport estates already running Parka.

Common questions

How does ANPR track rental vehicle returns?

Cameras at the depot gates read every plate in both directions and time-stamp the movement with a photo. Returns are logged the second they happen — even out of hours — so check-in queues and disputes stop depending on memory.

Can the whole fleet be whitelisted automatically?

Yes. The fleet list syncs by API from your rental or fleet system, so new vehicles are recognised from day one and disposals drop off automatically. No manual gate lists.

Does it integrate with rental management software?

Movement events are available over the API in real time, keyed by registration — ready to reconcile against contracts, telematics, and turnaround workflows in your existing system.

What about non-rental vehicles using the depot?

Anything not on the whitelist follows the visitor rules you set — time limits, charges, or flags with photographic evidence — protecting return lanes and ready lines from random parking.
