🎯 Why Add Listings in Fleetwire?


Adding listings to Fleetwire helps you:


  • Showcase Your Fleet: Display your vehicles to attract customers on your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io).
  • Manage Inventory: Keep track of vehicle availability, pricing, and details in one place.
  • Streamline Operations: Import or automate listing updates to save time.
  • Increase Bookings: Make your fleet accessible for both in-store and online reservations.


Note: Choose the method that best fits your needs—manual entry for small fleets, imports for car-sharing users, spreadsheets for bulk updates, or API for advanced automation.


🛠 How to Add Listings to Fleetwire


Follow these steps to add listings using one of four methods: manual entry, car-share import, spreadsheet upload, or API integration.


Step 1: Add a Listing Manually


Manually enter vehicle details through a user-friendly interface—perfect for small fleets or one-off additions.


  1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Listings from the left menu bar.
  2. Click + LISTING in the top right corner of the listings page.


Here’s what the listings page looks like in your dashboard.



  1. Fill in the required fields (only six fields needed!):
  • Vehicle specifications (e.g., make, model, year)
  • Availability
  • Pricing
  • Additional details (e.g., description, photos)
  1. Click SAVE to add the listing.


Here’s what the manual entry form looks like.



Pro Tip: Manual entry is the most popular method for adding listings, giving you full control over each vehicle’s details.


Step 2: Import Listings from a Car-Sharing Platform


Seamlessly import existing listings from a car-sharing platform like Turo.


  1. On the Listings page, find the import options in the right menu.
  2. Select IMPORT FROM TURO.
  3. If not connected, a popup will prompt you to sign in to your Turo account.
  4. Choose the listings you want to import.
  5. Click IMPORT to bring over photos, descriptions, details, base price, bookings, and availability.


Here’s what the car-share import interface looks like.



Note: Depending on the number of Turo listings, the import may take a minute or two. Be patient to ensure all data is transferred correctly.


Quick Tip: Importing from Turo saves time by syncing your existing listings, including bookings and availability, directly into Fleetwire.


Step 3: Upload Listings via Spreadsheet


Bulk-add listings by uploading a spreadsheet—ideal for large fleets or mass updates.


  1. Prepare your fleet data in a compatible format (e.g., CSV or Excel) with columns for vehicle details, pricing, and availability.
  2. Go to Listings and select the Upload Spreadsheet option.
  3. Upload your .csv file and follow the prompts to map your data to Fleetwire fields.
  4. Click Upload to add the listings.


Pro Tip: Use spreadsheet uploads when adding multiple vehicles at once, ensuring your data is well-organized to avoid errors.


Step 4: Add Listings via API Integration


Automate listing management with Fleetwire’s API—best for businesses with advanced technical needs.


  1. Ensure you’re on the Premium plan (API access is exclusive to Premium).
  2. View this article about api documentation here: Introduction to the Fleetwire API
  3. Use the API to integrate your fleet management system with Fleetwire, automating the addition and updating of listings.


Note: API access is only available on the Premium plan. Upgrade your plan in Billing Settings if needed.


Quick Tip: API integration ensures real-time synchronization, keeping your listings up-to-date with minimal manual effort.


Step 5: Test Your Listings


Verify that your listings are added correctly and ready for customers.


  1. Visit Listings to review your newly added vehicles.
  2. Check your online store (e.g., testcompany.fleetwire.io) to ensure the listings are visible and bookable.
  3. Test a booking to confirm pricing, availability, and details are displayed correctly.


Warning: If listings don’t appear or contain errors, double-check your import data, spreadsheet format, or API setup. Incorrect data can lead to booking issues.
