The local-first HQ Rental alternative
HQ Rental is a solid mid-market platform for European fleets. If you rent in Thailand or Vietnam, compare it with Ownima side by side — payments, commission, contracts, and setup.
0% commission · Free forever · No card required
HQ Rental is a capable mid-market rental platform built mainly around European workflows and card payments. Ownima is built for Southeast Asia first: PromptPay, MoMo, LINE Pay and TrueMoney are built in, contracts are bilingual, there’s 0% commission, and the core plan is free forever.
Where HQ Rental leaves Thailand & Vietnam operators stuck
Card-first, Western-market payments
HQ Rental centres on card processors common in Europe. Walk-in customers paying with PromptPay, MoMo or cash need workarounds.
Friction at the counter for local customers
Paid subscription from day one
Mid-market subscription pricing applies from the start, before your first booking earns anything.
You pay before you earn
English/European-first contracts
A customer signing an English-only agreement they can’t read is a legal grey area.
Disputes are harder to win
Heavier onboarding
Configuration and onboarding aimed at larger fleets before you can take a booking.
Days of lead time instead of minutes
