How Dromium works — top to bottom.

Dromium turns your website into an actual booking flow: clients choose dates, see real pricing, pay online through a trusted processor (Stripe), and your team runs everything from one dashboard.

You get access to a full platform to run your business from - your can enter your own bookings, gotten via phone or email, and they will appear in the same dashboard as online bookings. No fear of double booking, it is all automatic.

Works with your existing website Payments + deposits included

What you get

  • • A booking widget embedded on your site
  • • A dashboard for bookings, clients, cars and payments
  • • Pricing rules, extras, km/day, seasons, penalties
  • • Deposits/holds and payment collection via Stripe

Fast setup

Most teams go live in 1–3 days: we embed the widget, connect Stripe, and import your cars.

The onboarding in 3 steps

What hapens after you sign up? Here's how we get you set up, fast and smooth.

Step 1

We embed the widget on your site

You keep your website. We add the booking widget where it makes sense (home page, fleet pages, or a dedicated “Book” page). If you used an email form in the past, we recommend replacing that with the actual booking engine. We make sure that the widget design matches your site style. You have the final word on the styling before we go live.

No website redesign required. We handle the embed, or work with your webmaster-your choice.

Step 2

Platform access

You get access to the Dromium platform where you add employees, company data, previous bookings, etc. We are happy to help with initial setup and data migration. If you don't have a Stripe account (payment processing), we help you set that up too.

The platform is online at all times, and our support team is available to assist you with any issues.

Step 3

Data setup - company, cars, clients, pricing

You enter all your data like cars and clients, and then we proceed to build the pricing model together. We map your real-world model: base rates, length discounts, km(mi)/day, extras, seasons, location delivery, — and your deposit/hold policy. All of these can be configured per car, per group of cars, or per all cars, globally. We mimic anything that you offer 1:1.

A powerful one time setup, with flexibility and ease of use for quick adjustment.

What happens when a client books

After setup, the rest is simple: clients book on your website, payments run through Stripe, and your team manages everything from one dashboard—without card photos, bank transfers, or scattered messages.

  1. Client selects dates, times, car, pickup/dropoff locationenters their details — sees a clear total

    Your pricing model is applied automatically. Client sees what you allow them to see, and you control the narrative through Dromium settings.

  2. They pay — either a reservation fee, a deposit, or the full amount

    Payments are processed via Stripe on your connected account. You choose the policy: take a reservation fee, or take full payment up front. If you choose to allow reservation fee payment at booking time, you can also choose to collect the remaining balance later automatically, on a schedule you define.

    Optional: security deposit hold (authorization) for risk coverage. At the very end, after paying, clients are shown the security hold section.

  3. Confirmation is sent, and your dashboard updates instantly

    The client receives an email confirmation with booking details. Your team sees the booking immediately with payment/hold status attached—ready for handover, scheduling, and ops.

  4. Clients can self-edit (or you can turn it off)

    You control whether clients can edit their booking details from org settings. If self-edit is disabled, your team can still update bookings from the dashboard. The pricing rules for the client in self-edit mode are strict; they may not change the car type, but can change dates, times, locations, and extras. Their price can only go up, never down.

  5. Funds settle through Stripe to your bank account

    Stripe handles card processing and payouts according to your Stripe payout schedule. During onboarding you connect your bank account in Stripe, so settlements flow to you without manual chasing.

Processing fees, with real examples

Dromium pricing is $199/month + 2% on successful payments, plus Stripe processing fees at your Stripe rates. The examples below use common real-world numbers - but actual fees can vary by card, currency, and country.

Processing

Stripe fees (your Stripe rates)

Example: US business + US card (online) — from ~2.9% + $0.30

If a renter pays $1,000:

  • Dromium fee: 2% = $20.00
  • Stripe processing (typical “from”): ~2.9% + $0.30 = $29.30

“From” figures are common public reference points, not a quote. Stripe shows your exact pricing and per-charge breakdown.

Example: EU business + EU card (online) — from ~1.5% + €0.25

If a renter pays €1,000:

  • Dromium fee: 2% = €20.00
  • Stripe processing (typical “from”): ~1.5% + €0.25 = €15.25

Actual EU rates vary by country and card type. Stripe shows your exact rates during setup.

Example: US business + foreign card / currency conversion

International cards and currency conversion can add to processing costs. A safe way to describe it (without over-promising) is:

  • Dromium fee: 2% on the successful payment amount.
  • Stripe processing: typically starts around the common “from” figures for domestic online cards, and may increase for international and FX.

Stripe sets processing fees and shows the exact breakdown per charge in your Stripe dashboard.

Note: Examples are illustrative and not a quote. Stripe is the payment processor and sets processing fees. Dromium does not control Stripe’s pricing.
