Why Närsläp chose Rentalbuddy for self-service trailer rental at ICA Höganäs

Närsläp in Höganäs rents out trailers with no staff on site, and in 2024 it moved its self-service trailer rental to Rentalbuddy from another booking system.

What decided it for Närsläp

“We decided to move from our old booking system to Rentalbuddy as they are highly focused on self service rentals. The features that they develop have helped us get more control over the booking process without the need of being there.” – Team Närsläp

The move was part of Närsläp’s plan to rent out trailers at more places. Why they chose Rentalbuddy:

1. User-Friendly Interface: Rentalbuddy offers an intuitive booking platform that simplifies the reservation process, making it easy for customers to rent equipment online. 

2. Scalable Solution: Recognizing the need for a system that grows with their business, Närsläp chose Rentalbuddy for its scalability, ensuring that the platform can accommodate future expansions.

3. Advanced Security Features: Rentalbuddy gives every booking its own code for the Igloohome padlock on the trailer’s hitch lock, so only the customer who booked can open it, around the booked time.

4. Operational Efficiency: Rentalbuddy’s comprehensive management tools allow for streamlined operations, including inventory management and remote customer support.

Närsläp’s trailers stand at ICA Kvantum and at Tapet & Färglagret in Höganäs. A mesh trailer costs 149 SEK for up to 4 hours and 289 SEK for 24 hours, and a moving trailer 499 SEK for 24 hours (narslap.se, October 2026). To access this service, you merely need to visit narslap.se. Book on their webpage, and the button in the order confirmation opens your unlock page, where the code for the trailer’s padlock appears shortly before the start. It represents an effortless and practical approach to ensuring your subsequent transportation needs are smoothly met.

How to start an unmanned trailer rental station?

Starting an unmanned station for trailer rentals is a perfect way to generate additional income.

1. Location and trailers: Primarily, you need a suitable location to set up the trailers. You can start with as little as one trailer, but we generally recommend three to five trailers and two different models.

2. Hitch lock for trailers: Aside from the trailers and location you also need a hitch lock for trailers that fits Igloohome’s padlocks.

3. Beyond that, relatively little is required from you as the owner, since Rentalbuddy’s booking platform has many features that make it easy for you.

How does an unmanned trailer rental station work?

• Customers can either pre-book the desired trailer via your company webpage or rent it on the spot by scanning a QR code on the trailer.

• The booking and payment are made directly via the web browser, meaning that the customer does not need to download any app – a feature appreciated for its convenience.

• Once the payment is completed, the customer automatically receives information via email.

• As the return time approaches, the customer receives a reminder with instructions for the return.

• As the station owner, you receive information about bookings and can see which trailers are booked, rented out, and returned.
