Want to increase revenue and improve the rental experience? **Trip Extras** in Fleetwire let you charge for add-ons like GPS, car seats, insurance, or fuel packages. You can make them optional, required, or even auto-triggered based on renter details—and assign them to specific vehicles or listings. Let’s set up Trip Extras to give your renters more options and boost your earnings! --- ## 🎯 Why Use Trip Extras? Trip Extras in Fleetwire help you: * **Increase Revenue**: Charge for value-added services like prepaid fuel or insurance. * **Enhance the Renter Experience**: Offer convenient add-ons like GPS or car seats at checkout. * **Automate Charges**: Use smart triggers to apply fees automatically (e.g., for young drivers). || **Note**: Trip Extras can be tailored to specific listings or applied across your entire fleet—perfect for customizing your rental offerings! --- ## 🛠 How to Add and Manage Trip Extras in Fleetwire Follow these steps to set up Trip Extras, configure their settings, and test them to ensure they enhance your rental process. ### Step 1: Understand Trip Extra Types Fleetwire offers four types of Trip Extras, each with a unique purpose. Here’s a breakdown: | **Type** | **Description** | **Example** | | ---- | | **Optional** | Renters can choose to add at checkout. | $25 Prepaid Fuel, $10 GPS rental | | **Required** | Automatically added to all applicable reservations—no opt-out for renters. | $9.95 Trip Protection Fee | | **Hidden** | Not shown to renters; used manually in the back office for internal charges. | $250 Damage Fee | | **Recommended** | Highlighted as a top pick at checkout to encourage renters to select it. | $15 Car Seat (highlighted) | #### Smart Extras: Automatic Triggers Fleetwire also offers **Smart Extras** that auto-apply based on renter details: * **Young Driver Fee**: Added if the renter is under your fleet’s minimum age (e.g., under 25). * **Secondary Driver Fee**: Applied if a secondary driver is added during checkout. These extras are mandatory and can’t be skipped by the renter. | **Pro Tip**: Use Recommended Extras to upsell popular add-ons like car seats—highlighting them can increase uptake! --- ### Step 2: Add a Trip Extra Create a new Trip Extra and customize its settings to fit your rental business. 1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to [Settings > Trip Extras](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/trip-extras) or [Listings](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/listings/) and select a vehicle to add an extra. 2. Click **➕ Extra** to create a new Trip Extra. 3. Choose the type: * **Convenience Extra** (Optional or Recommended). * **Required Extra**. * **Add Young Driver** (Smart Extra). * **Add Secondary Driver** (Smart Extra). 4. Configure the settings: * **Name**: Name the extra (e.g., “Prepaid Fuel”). * **Price**: Set the cost (e.g., $25 per trip or $5 per day). * **Discountable**: Toggle whether it can be discounted (e.g., with a promo code). * **Listings**: Select which vehicles or listings it applies to (e.g., all Teslas or a specific Model X). * **Visibility** (under Settings): * Toggle **Hidden Extra** to hide from customers (e.g., for back-office use like damage fees). * Toggle **Recommended** to highlight at checkout (e.g., for car seats). 5. Click **Save**—your Trip Extra is now active! | **Quick Tip**: Start with an Optional Extra like “GPS Rental” to test how renters respond before adding more complex setups! --- ### Step 3: Edit or Remove Trip Extras Update or delete Trip Extras as needed to keep your offerings current. 1. Go to [Settings > Trip Extras](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/trip-extras). 2. View your list of extras—each will show how many listings it’s assigned to (e.g., “Applied to 5 listings”). 3. To update: * Click **Edit** to change the price, type, or assigned listings (e.g., change “Prepaid Fuel” from $25 to $30). 4. To delete: * Click **Delete** to remove the extra—it will no longer apply to future reservations. 5. Save any changes to update your settings. | **Pro Tip**: Regularly review your Trip Extras to ensure pricing and relevance—remove outdated extras to keep checkout clean and simple! --- ### Step 4: Test Your Trip Extras Ensure your Trip Extras are applied correctly during the rental process. 1. Create a test reservation on your online store (e.g., `testcompany.fleetwire.io`). * Select a listing with an **Optional** or **Recommended** Extra (e.g., a Tesla Model X with a $10 GPS option). * At checkout, confirm the Extra is displayed (e.g., “Add GPS for $10?”) and highlighted if Recommended. 2. Test a **Required** Extra: * Choose a listing with a Required Extra (e.g., $9.95 Trip Protection Fee) and confirm it’s automatically added to the total. 3. Test a **Smart Extra**: * Enter a renter age under your minimum (e.g., 23 if the minimum is 25) to trigger the Young Driver Fee. * Add a secondary driver at checkout to trigger the Secondary Driver Fee. 4. Test a **Hidden** Extra: * In the back office ( [Back Office](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/dashboard)), manually apply a Hidden Extra (e.g., $250 Damage Fee) to an order and confirm it’s not visible to the renter. 5. Check the order in [Orders](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/orders/) to verify all Extras are applied correctly in the total. | **Quick Tip**: Test today with different scenarios (e.g., young driver, secondary driver) to ensure Smart Extras trigger as expected! --- ## 🌟 Trip Extras Added, Rentals Enhanced!
