For bike rental operators
Grow your bike rental with technology that works
Tilia is built specifically for bike rental businesses. Manage your fleet, sell online, set pricing, and expand to multiple locations.
What software do bike rental businesses need to run their operation?
Bike rental businesses need software that tracks fleet inventory and condition across locations, takes online bookings without double-booking equipment, adjusts pricing to demand and season, and consolidates reporting when a single operator runs more than one site. Tilia is built specifically for this, rather than adapted from generic rental or booking tools.
Bike rental is a fleet business first: revenue depends on keeping bikes in circulation, matched to demand, with minimal downtime for maintenance or lost tracking. Tilia gives operators fleet management at scale, tracking every bike's status and utilization, paired with an online booking interface built to convert browsers into paid reservations rather than just displaying availability. Dynamic pricing adjusts rates automatically by season, demand, and remaining inventory, which matters more for a seasonal business than for most retail. Operators running several rental points, from beach kiosks to town-centre shops, manage them from one system with shared inventory and centralized reporting instead of reconciling spreadsheets per location. Tilia currently processes more than 2.5 million bike bookings a year across the recreation businesses that run on the platform in 15+ countries, the kind of booking volume purpose-built rental software needs to handle without falling over during peak season.

Tilia is built by the Van der Linde Group, a recreation and leisure operator based on Texel, the Netherlands. That operator background, not just software experience, has shaped the platform since Tilia was founded in 2020.

Bike rental software: frequently asked questions
What is bike rental software?
Bike rental software is a system for managing a bike fleet, taking bookings, and processing payments in one platform. It tracks which bikes are available, rented, or in maintenance, and handles pricing, reservations, and checkout without spreadsheets or separate tools.
How does Tilia handle bike fleet availability?
Tilia tracks every bike by serial number and QR code, updating status in real time as bikes are checked out, returned, or flagged for maintenance. E-bikes sync GPS location through the Bosch eBike Connect integration, so availability reflects what's actually on the road.
Can bike rental businesses use dynamic pricing?
Yes. Tilia's pricing engine adjusts rates automatically across multiple dimensions, including season, demand, and remaining inventory, so rates change without staff manually updating a price sheet.
Does Tilia support multi-location bike rental operations?
Yes. Tilia is built for operators running several rental points, with shared inventory, centralized reporting, and QR-code checkout and returns that work the same way across every location.
How do customers pay for bike rentals through Tilia?
Guests can book and pay online through a self-service webshop with real-time availability, or pay in person via the built-in POS. Payments run through Mollie, Adyen, or Pay.nl, including iDEAL, card, and contactless.
