Sunlock

Your partner for self-service rental

Self-service rental from one source

Your rental. Open, even when nobody is on site.

Sunlock brings together booking software, smart locks and the right way to secure your rental object – built from real experience in rental operations.

The problem

Rental businesses need flexibility – not a permanently staffed counter.

01Staff are expensive and hard to find.
02Guests expect long, flexible opening hours.
03Small sites barely pay off under classic operation.
04Guests expect intuitive, digital steps.

Sunlock can support your team or run the entire handover with minimal staff or none at all.

The system

The self-service operating system
