FlowRent vs BookingYoYo
A Modern Alternative to BookingYoYo
BookingYoYo charges your customers a fee on every booking. FlowRent uses flat monthly pricing, supports any equipment type, and gives you digital contracts and white-label branding.
Why rental shops are moving on
BookingYoYo offers a free bike rental booking widget with a £1 per-booking fee charged to your customers. It covers the basics — fleet management, online booking, maintenance tracking. But it's bike-only, English-only, and shows signs of age: placeholder content, broken markup, and features that haven't been updated since 2022. FlowRent is a modern, actively developed platform with digital contracts, multi-language support, and no fees passed to your customers.

Why shops switch to FlowRent
Modern software that doesn't charge your customers extra.
No fees on your customers
BookingYoYo adds a £1 fee to every booking, paid by your customer. That adds friction at checkout and makes low-value rentals less appealing. FlowRent charges you a flat monthly fee — your customers pay nothing extra.
Actively maintained and modern
BookingYoYo's features page hasn't been updated since 2022. FlowRent is actively developed with regular updates, a modern tech stack, and responsive support.
Beyond bikes
Scooters, kayaks, sports gear, beach equipment — FlowRent supports any rental category with multi-language customer interfaces. BookingYoYo is English-only and bike-only.
