WhatsApp message templates for bike rental services

Bike rental services need six templates, five utility and one marketing. The utility set covers booking confirmations, pickup instructions, return reminders, late return and damage charge updates, and unlock or access details, while the marketing message promotes a long-term or monthly rental.

Rental turnover depends on bikes going out and coming back on time, and every manual follow-up costs a staff hour. WhatsApp automates the reminders that keep the fleet moving.

Booking confirmed

Utility

Send it when: A rider has booked a bike or scooter

Hi {{1}}, your booking for the {{2}} from {{3}} to {{4}} is confirmed. Please bring your licence and ID for the handover at {{5}}.

Pickup instructions

Utility

Send it when: The customer is collecting the vehicle

Hi {{1}}, your {{2}} is ready at {{3}}. Please arrive by {{4}} with your licence and the deposit of {{5}}, and we will walk you through the controls.

Return reminder

Utility

Send it when: The rental period is ending

Hi {{1}}, your rental of the {{2}} is due back on {{3}} by {{4}}. If you would like to extend, reply before then and we will check availability.

Late return and charge notice

Utility

Send it when: A rental is overdue and a charge applies

Hi {{1}}, your {{2}} is now overdue and the late charge stands at {{3}}. Please return it as soon as possible or reply so we can arrange an extension.

How the category changes what you pay

  • Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
  • Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
  • Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
