Fleet technology for shuttle operators

Your fleet, ready for
any booking platform.

List your vehicles once. Umbrella Shuttles gives your fleet a real API — availability, zone pricing, and reservations — so any external booking tool can plug straight in. No infrastructure to build, no platform to host.

Built for operators, not consumers

Your vehicles. Their booking tool. One API.

Already have a corporate booking platform but no way to list your own fleet? Register once, add every vehicle with zone-based pricing and live availability, and let bookings flow in through our API. Each reservation stays pending until you approve it with a confirmation reference — so nothing is booked without your sign-off.
