Sync Xero Accounting with VEVS Car Rental Software
Bring your rental bookings and your Xero ledgers closer together. The VEVS–Xero connection moves reservation, contact, invoice and payment details from the booking platform into the cloud accounting workspace your finance team already relies on, so day-to-day operations and month-end figures stay in agreement.

Xero Automated hand-off
Bridge the gap between the rental desk and the books
Manual double-entry is where time and accuracy are lost. With a VEVS–Xero integration, the customer, charge and payment information created during a rental can be passed to Xero on a schedule you control. You decide whether that is a one-time export, a nightly sync or a two-way exchange, and how each rental line maps to your accounts, tax rates and tracking categories.
A cloud accounting home for rental income, payments and advisors
Xero is browser-based accounting software that small rental operators and their bookkeepers use to track contacts, raise invoices, reconcile bank transactions, handle tax and produce reports. Its open API, OAuth 2.0 login and developer tooling let software such as VEVS Car Rental Software exchange financial records with an organisation's Xero ledger without manual re-keying.
Open REST API
Xero's REST API lets approved applications read and write contacts, invoices, payments and credit notes inside an organisation.
Contact Records
Renters added during booking can be linked to existing Xero contacts or created as new ones, keeping customer data in one place.
Sales Invoices
Each completed rental can be turned into a Xero sales invoice, with rental charges and extras listed as individual line items.
Payment Allocation
Payments and deposits collected through the rental flow can be allocated to the matching Xero invoice or contact.
Credit Notes & Overpayments
Refunds and adjustments can be written back to Xero as credit notes or overpayments, depending on how the account is set up.
Account & Tax Mapping
Rental income, deposits, extras and taxes map to the Xero accounts, items and tax rates the books already use.
Bank Reconciliation
Once figures reach Xero, the organisation's bank feed reconciliation keeps working as normal on top of the imported rental data.
Tracking & Multi-Currency
The connection respects the tracking categories, projects and base currency configured in the organisation's Xero settings.
A booking platform that speaks the language of the ledger
Xero publishes a documented REST API, official SDKs, a demo company and OAuth 2.0 authorisation for partners building accounting connections. VEVS uses these tools to move rental data into the books, so invoices and payments created during a rental do not have to wait for manual reconciliation.
How the Xero connection fits into a rental booking
Rental data is created once and reused, not re-typed. VEVS can wire Xero into the reservation flow so the financial footprint of every booking is captured automatically.
A renter picks a vehicle
The customer chooses dates and a vehicle and submits their details through the VEVS booking engine.
VEVS assembles the figures
The platform gathers the renter, booking reference, rental charges, extras, taxes and any payment already taken.
The details travel to Xero
The integration aligns each figure with the right Xero contact, account, item and tax rate in the organisation.
Invoices and payments are posted
Depending on the rules configured for the business, Xero receives new invoices, payments, deposits or credit notes.
The two systems stay in sync
Every accounting entry keeps a link back to its reservation, cutting the re-keying and the month-end detective work.
The Xero link handles more than a single invoice
What a rental business can push to Xero depends on its subscription, account structure and the workflow VEVS builds. Contacts, itemised invoices, payments, credit notes, taxes and multi-organisation reporting can all be part of the picture.
Renter & Contact Matching
Keep the customer list shared between the booking system and Xero.
- Link a booking to an existing Xero contact
- Create a contact for a first-time renter
- Preserve billing and contact details
- Handle both business and individual renters
Itemised Invoices
Turn a rental into a proper accounting document rather than one rounded number.
- Rental days and extras as separate lines
- Tax and fees applied per the organisation
- Deposits and balances kept apart
- A reference tying the invoice to the booking
Payments & Credit Notes
Reflect what actually happened financially on the rental.
- Payments allocated to the right invoice or contact
- Deposit handling and release
- Credit notes raised for refunds
- A clear view of anything still owed
Structure & Reporting
Fit the sync to the way the business is organised and reported on.
- Revenue coded to the correct accounts
- Tracking categories or projects used
- Separate Xero organisations per entity
- Clean data for reconciliation and tax
What can be automated depends on the client's Xero plan, the API access enabled, the chart of accounts, the tax setup and the sync workflow VEVS agrees for the project.
Tracing one booking from the counter to the ledger
Every integration is built to spec, but most follow the same arc: a reservation is confirmed, its money is broken down, and the matching records appear in Xero ready for the books.
Rental confirmed in VEVS
Customer, vehicle, dates and agreed price are locked in.
Charges broken down
Rental lines, taxes and payments are matched to Xero accounts, items and tax rates.
Records written to Xero
The invoice is created or updated and the payment applied to the correct contact.
Figures ready for the books
The records drop into Xero's normal reconciliation, reporting and tax process.
Your accounting stays where it is, your rental data comes to it
There is no need to abandon a working bookkeeping setup to run VEVS. A tailored integration sends rental information into the books the business already keeps, rather than asking the finance side to change its habits.
Show us how rental money should land in your books
A good integration mirrors the bookkeeping, so we start there. VEVS reviews how income, deposits, extras, tax, refunds and balances are handled, then agrees how each reservation should appear in Xero.
- Which Xero organisation and chart of accounts you run
- One-way export or two-way sync
- How frequently the sync should run
- Which contacts, invoices and payments are in scope
- How rental lines, taxes and extras map to accounts, items and rates
- How deposits, balances and credit notes should post
- Whether tracking categories or projects are used
- Whether several Xero organisations or branches are involved
VEVS links other accounting and finance systems too
Xero is one of the accounting platforms VEVS can connect. If the business runs different accounting software, an ERP, a bookkeeping tool or another finance system, our team can examine its API and documentation and judge whether a custom link is feasible.
The goal is simple: your software should adapt to the way your business operates.
