KeysBlu is rental-management software for car, equipment, boat, RV, trailer and other fleets.

Fleet records cover status, location, telematics, odometer and fuel, blocked periods, repair orders, maintenance and damage photos. Customers can sign rental agreements electronically, submit ID verification and receive return receipts. Payments run through KeyTransact, which the feature page describes as PCI DSS compliant, with tokenized card data and payouts to the operator’s bank. Integration options include a REST Booking API, embeddable booking widget, WordPress plugin and Webflow support. The developer page gives a limit of 600 requests per minute per API key.
