Vik Rent Items is an extension designed for building a complete hiring system of any kind of item. Rentals of multiple or single items are allowed, with or without quantities.
Designed with a powerful and flexible rates management system that perfectly suits all the needs for Bikes, Tools, Heavy Machinery, Camping Equipment, Inflatables, Sports and Fitness Equipments, Party Supplies, Luxury Clothing, Handbags or Accessories and others hiring services.
It is also possible to have the Items Delivered to a specific address. By enabling the feature Delivery Service (even on just a few Items), the users will be able to enter their address and the system will calculate the distance between the base address of your company (in Km or Miles) and depending on the distance, a different delivery cost will be applied.

Functionality
Has most of the features you would want for a functioning rental website, and several that you will probably not need.
Ease of use
The front end navigation could be better and the admin side is not very intuitive, but pretty easy to use once you understand the logic.
Support
Support is timely. I had only minor support issues that were cleared up pretty quickly. There was a bit of language barrier.
Documentation
It exists, but it could be better. The developer should distill common issues into a more extensive FAQ.
Value for money
Excellent value for €99. (Why does this need to be longer than 64 characters!)
I used this to: A photography equipment rental website. (Why does this need to be longer than 64 characters!)
Functionality
It is missing simple things like "click here to agree to rental terms ". Many other things, but I do not have room to list them here.
Ease of use
Very hard to configure and understand as nothing is labeled in a way for you to intuitively understand why it is there to begin with.
Support
There is no direct way of contacting support. You have to post to a forum to then wait to see if support gets back to you.
Documentation
documentation is just a broad overview and doesn't provide any useful information to help configure/fix anything
Value for money
for $130...it is a waste of money and I feel I got ripped off. You also only get 6 months of support...which that alone is absurd .
I used this to: I wanted to start a equipment rental company and this seemed like it would work....but it is lacking in every way possible and not worth the money or effort spent trying to get it to work properly.

Great Product

Missing feature



Posted on 09 October 2014
I was really hoping this componant would be able to replace our current system (CheckFront). However, there does not seem to be any way to edit bookings. If someone books an item, and then they want to add something to it later, or they call in and want to add something, the admin has no way of editing order details.
I have been setting up a community hall hire site and have been very pleased that as I learn to use the software each of my questions has been promptly answered. My site is building up nicely and I can tell that the Vik software is well bedded in and good thought has been put to how it all works. I haven't found any problems yet. There's a lot of features added over the years. Nice one!
I'm using this component for car parking at the airport (renting car parking places).

Before this component i have try some anther components and 2 stand alone software, they supposed to be specialized in renting car parking places.

No one was so flexible and easy to configure like "vik rent items".

I needed a small costume change for my needs, all i hade to do was asking the support team.

Thy make that change in no time and thy didn't even charge mem for that :-)



Hilly recommended..



For schure i will use vik components in the future.
This component is fabulous and the authors are available all the time for to give assistance. they are worthy of a web agency.

I can only recommend the closed eyes.

Thanks

Manuel
I purchased Vik Rent Items in hopes I could use it for my rental business since I have tried many other components. After downloading and trying to figure things out, I simply emailed them for help....within in minutes I received an email back with what to do. After getting everything configured with their help, I would highly recommend this extension to anyone that is renting something.
