TARS

TARS is the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) system used to manage vehicle rentals. It is used to record and exchange data related to the rental of cars, buses, and motorcycles.
Connect the TARS integration to automatically synchronize bookings with Rental Booster.
 

How to connect TARS

1. Open the Integrations section
2. Find the TARS integration card and click Connect
3. In the Connect to TARS window, fill in the following fields:
  • Login — the username for your company's TARS account
  • Password — the password for your TARS account
  • Agreement ID — your company's agreement number in the TARS system
  • Email for verification code — the email address where TARS sends verification codes
  • Email password — the password for the specified email account
If two-factor authentication is enabled for your TARS account, TARS sends a one-time verification code (OTP) to the email address associated with the account whenever you sign in.
To allow Rental Booster to authenticate automatically, enter the email address that receives these verification codes, along with its password.
If the verification codes are sent to a different email address, configure automatic email forwarding so that these messages are forwarded to the email account used for the integration.
Once this is configured, Rental Booster will automatically retrieve the verification codes and use them to sign in to TARS.
4. Click Connect
If all information is correct, Rental Booster will establish the connection and bookings from TARS will begin syncing automatically.

2. In the main menu, open the Company section

Working with TARS bookings

After the integration is connected, booking updates are automatically synchronized from Rental Booster to TARS.

2. Click the (More actions) button
3. Select the required action, for example Close in TARS
After the request is successfully processed, the booking will be closed in TARS.

Main statuses
