Testimonial - Van Gent Car Rental

19 June 2025

Gerben Van Houwelingen, COO at Van Gent Car Rental, talks about their positive experiences with ProPlanner and the 'pick up and drop off' module.

"Still very happy with our switch in 2023"

Gerben explains: "We switched to ProPlanner in March 2023. The package we were using before didn't offer the stability our business needs. Since this is the engine of our business, we wanted a reliable solution. After some research, together with Diks, another car rental company in the Netherlands, we chose ProPlanner. A decision we're still very happy with!"

The overall collaboration with ProPlanner is going very well. From the very beginning, we've always had excellent communication, and we value that very much. It's clear what the options are and which customized solutions are possible. It's also clear what's not possible, and that's important to know. Finally, we're also very satisfied with the helpdesk. If you need anything, you're helped immediately, and the communication is always very pleasant.

The pick-up and drop-off module is efficient, clear, and simple, yet comprehensive. I would definitely recommend it to other car rental companies.

Satisfied user of the pick-up and drop-off module

We've offered a pickup and delivery service since our inception, for over 40 years now. This sets us apart from other rental companies, and our customers appreciate it.

We've been using ProPlanner's drop-off and pick-up module for a year and a half now, which was brand new at the time. Before that, I simply scheduled drop-off and pick-up by heart.

The pickup and delivery module makes this much easier. We simply check a box when a car needs to be delivered or picked up, and this information is included in the schedule and reporting. This way, we can see exactly which cars were delivered or picked up on which date. For us, this clear overview is one of the main advantages.

Efficiency is also a major factor, especially if you have multiple locations. I've been doing this work for a long time, so I can see at a glance which vehicles need to be dropped off or picked up. But if I'm not there, another employee can easily take over without my intervention. We recently opened a second location, and we've found that this module is indispensable in our business.

The pick-up and drop-off module is efficient, clear, and simple, yet comprehensive. I would definitely recommend it to other car rental companies.
