  • How do I change 'vehicle' to something else?
  • Can I use Glovebox for trailers or boats?

Settings → What you rent.

Glovebox is built for vehicle hire but not only for cars. Setting what you rent adjusts the wording across the admin and your booking site so it reads the way your customers talk.

Do it before you go live

The wording reaches your customers, so changing it later means your site says one thing this week and another next. It is a two-minute job on day one.

  • Set your timezone, currency and units The settings everything else is expressed in. Worth getting right on day one, because they change how every date, price and distance in Glovebox reads.
  • Add your first vehicle Adding a vehicle takes a minute once you have a vehicle group and a location to put it in. This walks through the required fields and the two that trip people up: the group (which you must create first) and the home location.
