Why Drivers Rely On Us
Trusted by thousands of Taxi Drivers across the UK
RentalBux finally gave me peace of mind.
Even after trying several tools, I was struggling with my portfolio of three rentals. MTD just added to that struggle. But then, I was introduced and all my worries disappeared. MTD submissions in minutes, track each property separately, allocate profit sharing. Wow!
Built for landlords, used by landlords.
As a landlord managing 12 units across two ownership structures and some self-employment income, I needed something that handled everything. RentalBux was the only software that did that.
Time saved.
Switching to RentalBux was one of the best decisions I made. Especially the joint-ownership module. Our family property had three owners with different shares, and RentalBux handled it quite efficiently.
