4.3%

of downloads still active

At least 4K of 92.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    An update broke the plugin’s functionality for me. However, I must highlight that the support, specifically Marco, is excellent. He is very experienced, understood the issue quickly, and provided a clear and effective solution. This topic was modified 7 months, 1 week ago by stelakoulas.

    One of our clients has been using this plugin for over a year now with a Car Rental and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, the implementation process was smooth and straightforward thanks to the clear, well-structured documentation. It made setup easy, even when dealing with more complex configurations, you can get your head around. What truly sets this plugin apart is the good support team. Whenever we had questions—especially around integrating with an external payment gateway—they were quick to respond, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Their assistance played a crucial role in ensuring everything worked seamlessly within our environment and recently fixing an issue with an update in the payment gateway integration. The plugin has proven to be stable, flexible, and consistently updated, which gives us peace of mind for long-term use. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable solution with excellent support behind it. This has definitely been a good solution for our customer in his growing business.

    I’ve used VIKWP and VIKrent car for Joomla on various sites. It gets the job done and remains my go to software for Car rental. There are some very minimal drawbacks but support is always there to provide a solution to the best of their ability. Support also ensures you understand how it works. Though feature implementation is scarce, I would highly recommend this if you have a car rental service! It’s a very solid software the has nearly all features a car rental would use!

    Can look a bit complicated at first time you set it up but actually is very simple once you learn it. Many useful functions and very professional made. The translations functionality is top. The support is great too, very fast response. Thanks for this wonderful plugin.

    Tanto el plugin como el soporte es justo lo que necesitaba para una página web destinada al alquiler de coches. Es un plugin altamente personalizable y si tienes un poco de conocimiento en código CSS puedes llegar a estilos que te diferencien de la competencia. Además, cometí algunos errores en la configuración que su equipo supo abordar y solucionar en menos de un día.

    Good, but make sure you know it’s limitations before you invest a lot of time into it.I’ve tested VikRentCar plugin for my motorbike rental website, and while it’s a decent solution overall, there are a few significant issues that hold it back, and ultimately the reason why we cannot use it. Positives:• The plugin is well-suited for a motorbike rental business as it doesn’t require extensive form building. It simplifies the process and automates much of the administrative work, like sending out automated emails.• I appreciate the ability to customize email templates, which allows for a personalized touch when communicating with customers. This feature adds professionalism and flexibility.• One of the standout features is the ability to set variable pricing based on the rental duration. For example, renting a Honda for one day might cost $20 per day, but renting for a month could reduce the daily price to $10. This is incredibly helpful for businesses with dynamic pricing models.• Support was responsive, and suggested some possible solutions and alternatives. Negatives:• Bulk Price Uploading: While variable pricing is great, uploading these prices manually is very tedious. I have all the pricing data in a spreadsheet provided by my client, but I have to enter them manually into the plugin. A feature to bulk upload prices using a CSV file would save significant time and effort.• Multiple Bike Bookings: There is no option for customers to book multiple bikes in a single transaction. This is a significant drawback, especially for businesses catering to group bookings.(This is the main reason why we decided not to use this plugin. We had spent hours adding products and variable pricing, only to realize that the is no cart option to book multiple motorbikes.)• Customization Limitations: While the plugin works, there are restrictions on customizing the search form. For instance, fields like pickup and drop-off times and the location map are unnecessary for my business but cannot be easily removed or disabled. I’m using the Divi page builder, which doesn’t have a dedicated VikRentCar module. There is one for Elementor, which might offer more flexibility for customizing form input fields, but I can’t confirm this as I don’t use Elementor.• Vague Options in the Dashboard: Some of the options in the plugin’s dashboard are somewhat vague. It would be very helpful if there were clickable tooltips beside each option that explain what they do in a small pop-out. Ideally, the tooltip could also include a link to more detailed documentation. This is something I appreciate about Divi, as their page builder includes helpful tooltips for most options.• Homepage Search Form Issue: The search form doesn’t work correctly when placed on the homepage (root directory), requiring a workaround involving page redirection and additional troubleshooting. This issue is a major problem for user interaction design, as it forces users to navigate to a separate page to book a vehicle. This can potentially result in higher bounce rates and fewer leads or revenue for the business.• Auto-Confirmation of Bookings: In the free version, and possibly the pro version, bookings are auto-confirmed as soon as they are made. As far as I can see, there’s no way for the website administrator to set bookings to “pending” for review and later confirm or deny them based on product stock. This is a significant limitation for rental businesses that require manual approval.— Overall, the VikRentCar plugin is a good starting point for a motorbike rental business, especially with its variable pricing functionality and email automation. However, it needs better flexibility, the ability to book multiple vehicles, improved explanations for dashboard options, a bulk upload feature, a manual booking confirmation system, and more robust support to become a top-tier solution. I’ll be keeping an eye on future updates to see if these issues are addressed.
