Insurance, vignette, technical inspection: the deadlines an agency must not miss
A simple system to never rent a car with expired insurance, vignette or technical inspection — and why it matters for your agency.
Why expired papers are a real risk
A car rented with expired insurance or inspection can mean a fine at a checkpoint, a blocked car and, worst of all, no cover after an accident. With a fleet, deadlines arrive every week.
The documents to track per car
- Insurance policy and its end date.
- Annual vehicle tax (vignette).
- Technical inspection (visite technique) date.
- Registration card (carte grise) and any authorisation papers.
- Periodic maintenance: oil change, tyres, brakes.
Build a warning system
Note every end date and set reminders 30 and 7 days before. Check the list before each booking: a car whose papers expire during the rental should not leave.
Let the software warn you
Rentiffy shows insurance, vignette and inspection deadlines on each car and on the dashboard, with warnings before they expire, so you can renew in time.
