🛡️ Automatically Verify Insurance with Axle in Fleetwire!

Want to ensure your renters have valid insurance without the hassle of manual checks? Fleetwire integrates with Axle—a universal API for insurance data—to verify renter insurance in real-time during the reservation process. No uploads, no back-and-forth—just a seamless, secure booking flow. Let’s set up Axle to keep your rental business protected and efficient!

🎯 Why Verify Insurance with Axle?

Using Axle’s integration in Fleetwire helps you:

Reduce Risk: Confirm renters have valid insurance coverage before they drive your vehicles.
Save Time: Automate verification—no need for manual uploads or phone calls.
Enhance Trust: Pair with Stripe Identity Verification for a high-trust booking process.

Note: Fleetwire’s partnership with Axle allows real-time insurance checks, ensuring your fleet is protected and your renters are covered.

🛠 How to Set Up Axle Insurance Verification

Follow these steps to enable Axle in Fleetwire, configure notifications, and ensure a smooth verification process for your renters.

Step 1: Enable Axle Integration

Connect Fleetwire with Axle to start verifying insurance automatically.

In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Connections > Axle.
Click Enable Axle to activate the integration.
Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Axle account—Fleetwire will guide you through the setup.

Pro Tip: Ensure your Axle account is fully set up with sufficient credits to perform verification checks.

Step 2: Configure Verification Settings

Customize how Axle prompts renters and notifies you during the booking process.

In the Axle settings, toggle on Show as Action Item to prompt renters to verify their insurance during booking confirmation.
Set up notifications:
- Notify via SMS: Receive a text message when insurance is verified.
- Notify via Email: Get an email alert when verification is complete.
Enable Auto-Reload to automatically top off your Axle credits when your balance is low:
- Choose your Threshold (e.g., 10 credits) and Reload Amount (e.g., 50 credits).
- Add a primary payment method if you haven’t already (required for auto-reload).
Click Save to apply your settings.

Note: Each Axle verification check deducts from your credit balance. You can also add credits manually if you prefer not to use auto-reload.

Step 3: Test the Verification Process

Ensure Axle works seamlessly in your booking flow.

Create a test reservation in Orders or via your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io).
During the booking confirmation, verify that the renter is prompted to input their insurance details via Axle.
Complete the verification using a test insurance policy (e.g., via Axle’s test mode if available).
Check your email and SMS for verification notifications and confirm the renter’s insurance details are added to the order in Fleetwire.

Quick Tip: Test with a fake renter profile to avoid real charges while ensuring the process works smoothly!
