The Odoo Rental app manages rental operations from quotation to return: confirming orders, scheduling pickups and returns, and invoicing customers.

The Rental Orders dashboard

Opening the Rental app shows the Rental Orders dashboard, where each card displays the customer name, rental price, order number and status. A card with no status means the quotation is confirmed but the product has not yet been picked up. The left sidebar filters rentals by status or invoice status.

Configure rental settings

Go to Rental > Configuration > Settings to set:

  • Default Delay Costs: extra charges for late returns.
  • Default Padding Time: buffer time between two rentals of the same product.
  • Rental Transfers: enables stock deliveries and receipts for rentals.

Manage rental products and pricing

Only products with Can be Rented enabled appear in Rental > Products. On a product’s Rental Prices tab, several pricing options can be added, such as daily, weekly or monthly rates.

Create a rental order

  1. Go to Rental > Orders and click New.
  2. Add the Customer and the rental period, then add products under Order Lines.
  3. Send the quotation by email, or confirm the order directly.

Customer signatures

If digital signatures are enabled in settings, a customer can sign the rental agreement through the customer portal after the order is confirmed, and the signed document can be downloaded as a PDF.

Pickup and return

Click Pickup and Validate when products go out, and Return and Validate when they come back. The order’s status updates automatically.
