About this course
This course shows how Daftra is used to run a car rental company or centre, through a short overview video, a detailed recorded session and a summary of it. You will see the fleet, bookings, contracts, invoices and accounts brought together in one place.
The lessons cover:
- Activating the apps you need from "Manage Apps", including sales, inventory, rentals and units management, rental contracts, employees and customers.
- Managing renters and drivers, and sending pick-up, return and instalment reminders.
- Adding car types and their pricing rules, then adding the cars in each type and tracking their expenses.
- Booking orders: the agreed mileage and the extra-kilometre rate, the fuel level on return, early termination terms, fines, seasonal prices and long-term contracts.
- Online booking through the Daftra online store, and the rentals, sales, purchases and "General Accounts" reports.
You can start with the summary for a quick picture, then return to the detailed session to follow each step.

FAQ
What language are the videos in? Are translations available?
The videos are in Arabic. Every lesson has an English transcript and English captions.
Should I start with the detailed session or the summary?
The summary (about 11 minutes) gives a quick picture of the system. The detailed session (about 54 minutes) walks through activation, setup, booking orders and reports step by step.
Do booking order details such as the rental amount and advance payment create journal entries?
No. As the detailed session explains, these details are for reference: they appear when you print the booking order or the rental, but they have no financial effect and create no entries until an actual invoice is issued.
Can customers book a car themselves?
Yes. The course shows online booking through the Daftra online store, where a customer picks a specific car at times that suit them; the booking then appears among the booking orders to follow up and confirm.
