CoDriver works within what each person’s RentWorks Plus role allows, so a counter agent and an owner each get answers for their own job. Anything that changes a record waits for their approval.
Follow four jobs from request to approval
These four also appear in the video below. Ask for anything else in RentWorks Plus and CoDriver works the same way.
Finds the cars that are late
Ask which rentals are overdue. CoDriver checks every open agreement past its due-back time and lists each one with how late it is and whether anyone has reached the renter.
Texts the renters nobody has reached
It drafts the message and waits for your OK. Then it texts the renter and notes the text on the booking, so the next person on shift knows. CoDriver skips renters who opted out of texts.
Compares check-in with check-out
Ask about a car that came back with damage. CoDriver puts the check-out and check-in inspections side by side, with photos and times, and points out any damage that is new at return.
Opens the claim with the photos
When you approve, it opens the claim from the inspection with the vehicle, the damage and the photos, and drafts the damage notice to the renter.
Runs the report you'd run
Ask for a comparison in plain words. CoDriver runs the report and answers with the headline number, then shows the detail as a chart or a table.
Sends it to your inbox on a schedule
Ask for the report every month, or for a morning brief every weekday, and CoDriver schedules the email once you approve.
Sees which classes are selling out
Ask about the weekend. CoDriver checks availability by class for those dates and shows how many cars each class has left.
Previews the new rate first
It shows the new rate next to the old one. After you approve, it applies the change, and the rate history labels it AI Recommendation.
Watch CoDriver at work
Five example jobs on real RentWorks Plus screens, in 48 seconds.
Nothing changes until you approve
CoDriver can look things up on its own. When a request would change something, such as booking a reservation, adding a note to a rental, clocking you in or opening a claim, CoDriver lists each action on an approval card first. You approve them one at a time or all at once, or you decline.
CoDriver acts as the signed-in RentWorks Plus user, so it sees and does only what your role allows. A counter agent and an owner get different answers, as they do everywhere else in RentWorks Plus.
CoDriver saves its changes as the signed-in user, so they show in the record’s History tab and in the audit log, the same as changes your team makes. Each answer also lists the tools CoDriver used, so you can check how it got there.
One AI connector, on your dashboard or in the assistant you already use
CoDriver is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard AI assistants use to work with business systems. Use it from the assistant on your RentWorks Plus dashboard, or ask CoDriver from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok if your team already works there.
From any of them, CoDriver answers from the same live RentWorks Plus data, asks for the same approvals and stays within your user role. Support depends on the assistant and its plan. RentWorks Plus stays the system of record, and your AI provider's terms apply to that conversation.

What is an AI connector?

Where do I find CoDriver?
In RentWorks Plus, click Ask AI on your dashboard or pick one of the suggested questions for the page you’re on. You can also ask CoDriver from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok.
What can CoDriver do?
It works across RentWorks Plus. At the counter, it quotes and books reservations, checks rentals out and checks them in. It takes payments, sends payment links and emails company invoices. It adds vehicles, opens repair orders, and handles damage claims, notices and tolls. It changes rates and promo codes, and manages customers, companies and loyalty. It runs and schedules reports, builds forms from a photo and sends agreements for e-signature. It also adds users and answers how-to questions. Every change waits for your approval.
Can CoDriver make changes without my approval?
No. Anything that changes a record, such as booking a reservation, adding a note to a rental or opening a claim, appears on an approval card first and runs only when you approve.
What can CoDriver see?
Only what your RentWorks Plus user role allows. A counter agent and an owner see different things, as they do in the rest of RentWorks Plus.
Can I use CoDriver from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. CoDriver also works from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and other assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with the same permissions and approvals. Support depends on the assistant and its plan, and your AI provider's terms apply to that conversation.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
No. You type a request the way you would say it, for example "Which rentals are overdue? Text anyone we haven't contacted yet." CoDriver finds the rentals, drafts the text and sends it once you approve.
Can I speak to CoDriver instead of typing?
Yes. Click the microphone in the message box to dictate your request.
Can I attach a photo or a PDF?
Yes. You can attach an image or a PDF to a message, for example a photo of a paper form you want rebuilt as a form template.
Will CoDriver text renters who opted out?
No. CoDriver skips renters who opted out of texts or email.
Can CoDriver make mistakes?
Yes, like any AI assistant. Each answer lists the tools it used so you can check how it got there, and no change happens until you approve it.
Does CoDriver replace my team?
No. It takes the lookups and the follow-up off their desks. Your team still decides what to approve and still runs the counter.
