Buyer questions
What is TSD Rental?
TSD Rental is the rental platform from TSD, a company based in North Andover, Massachusetts. Its site describes software for car rental companies, dealerships and car-share operators: reservations, digital agreements, damage photos, rate management, and connected-car tracking. TSD REZ is its reservation product, and it says the two connect. Read on 3 November 2026.
How much does TSD Rental cost?
TSD does not publish a price. Its software page, read on 3 November 2026, lists no plans or fees and offers only “Request a quote” and “Schedule a demo”. Carz publishes its price: a flat AUD $7 per rented car per month, and $0 for a car that is not on rent.
Does TSD Rental work in Australia?
TSD lists Australia among the countries it serves. What its page does not say is how it handles Australian payment methods: it names no card processors and does not mention Square or PayTo, the rails many Australian operators use for recurring weekly rent. If that matters to you, ask TSD for the answer in writing.
Is TSD Rental built for weekly or subscription rental?
TSD says it supports car share, delivery and collection, and subscription models, with hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal rates. Its page does not describe recurring weekly collection or recovery of missed payments. Carz is built for it: weekly auto-charge, retries and pay-links.
When is TSD the better choice?
When you run several locations, take bookings through travel sites and GDSs, or run a dealership with loaner cars. It also has telematics, toll recovery and accounting connectors, and lists five languages. A single-country weekly operator uses less of that.
Where do I sign in to TSD Rental?
That is TSD’s own customer sign-in, not Carz. The LOGIN button on TSD’s software page, read on 3 November 2026, goes to tsdrms.net. TSD also has a TSD Rental app for iPhone and Android.
Growing, and want fixed, fair pricing?
Carz is a flat AUD $7 per rented car, and nothing for a car off the road. See it running on your own fleet.
