A delayed flight should update the pickup without a queue of personal texts.
Put a RoomLnk link in the confirmation, on the rental desk, or in the handover pack. The customer joins in the browser. Knowing a booking detail does not release the car.
Customers ask if an 8pm collection is still possible, where the after-hours desk is, and what the car includes. Those messages get lost across branch phones.
RoomLnk keeps them on that reservation. Licence, payment, and the rental agreement stay on the formal process.

This booking
The confirmation opens the reservation room
The customer says the flight is delayed and asks about 8pm. The branch checks hours and the car, then sends the after-hours instruction if it is allowed.
Identity, licence, deposit, and the agreement still happen before the keys are released.
