The Fleetwire Mobile App

The Fleetwire Mobile App


The Fleetwire app puts your rental business on your phone. You can check in a car at the curb, send a payment link while you're on a call with a renter, and get an alert the moment a booking comes in.


The app is free and included on every Fleetwire plan. It works with your existing account, so everything you do in it shows up in your dashboard right away, and the other way around.



Get the app


Android: Get Fleetwire on Google Play. Search for Fleetwire – Car Rental Manager.


iPhone: the iPhone app is with Apple for review and will be on the App Store soon. Until then, you can use the iPhone version through Apple's TestFlight. Email hi@fleetwire.io with the email address of your Apple ID, and we'll send you an invite. In your dashboard, the Mobile page also has a Notify me button so we can tell you when it's live.


The iPhone app needs iOS 15.6 or later.


Sign in


Sign in with the same email and password you use for the Fleetwire dashboard. You don't need a new account.


  • Two-factor authentication: if it's on for your account, the app asks for your code. Tap Resend code if it doesn't arrive.
  • Face ID or fingerprint lock: turn it on under Settings > Account & Security so nobody can open the app on your phone without you.
  • Team members sign in with their own logins. Screens their role can't use show Not available for your role. A company admin can change their permissions from the dashboard. See Create Team Accounts in Fleetwire.



What you can do in the app


Today's work

  • See today's and tomorrow's pickups and returns, plus what's available.
  • Open the fleet calendar.
  • Catch trips that should have started or ended but haven't been checked in or out.


Bookings

  • Create a booking in a few taps, or edit, extend, or swap the vehicle on an existing one.
  • Add extras, line items, discounts, coupons, and notes.
  • See the booking's invoices and the emails sent to the renter.


Check-out and check-in

  • Follow a guided inspection: photos of the car, fuel level, and damage marked on a diagram.
  • Record the odometer by snapping a photo of the dashboard, or pull it live from a connected Tesla or Bouncie.


Payments

  • Charge the card on file.
  • Send a payment link by text, or show a QR code the renter scans to pay.
  • Record a cash or other payment.
  • Capture or release card holds, and issue refunds.


Rental agreements

  • Send an agreement to sign by email or text.
  • Let the renter sign in person by scanning a QR code on your phone.
  • Open signed agreements as PDFs.


Customers

  • Create a customer by scanning their driver's license.
  • See their bookings, payments, insurance, and notes.
  • Call, Text, or email them right from their profile.


Vehicles

  • Add a vehicle by scanning its VIN.
  • Update photos and pricing, block dates, and log maintenance and damage.


iPhone home-screen widget

On iPhone, add the Fleetwire widget to your home screen to see today's pickups, vehicles out, and today's revenue at a glance.



What you set up on a computer


Some one-time setup lives in the dashboard at tenant.fleetwire.io. Once it's done, the app uses it.


  • Rental agreement templates. Create your template in the dashboard under Documents first. Until a template exists, Create contract in the app has nothing to choose from. See Build Your Rental Agreement in Fleetwire.
  • Most account settings, such as checkout, payment providers, pricing structures, taxes, and your online store.
  • Changing your plan.


Holding a deposit with a payment link? In the dashboard, a payment request can charge the rental and hold the deposit in one link: turn on Hold security deposit (Stripe only). If you don't see that switch in the app, send the request from the dashboard instead. See How to Authorize and Capture Credit Card Holds.



Push notifications


The app can alert you when something needs your attention, including:


  • a new booking or booking request
  • a payment received or failed
  • a deposit or card hold about to expire
  • a signed agreement
  • a renter opening their invoice
  • a trip starting soon, a return coming up, or a return that's overdue
  • alerts from connected vehicles, such as Bouncie


To turn notifications on or off, open the app and go to Settings > Notifications. It takes you to your phone's notification settings for Fleetwire.


Email and text alerts are set separately in the dashboard. See Manage Notification Preferences in Fleetwire.



Updates, bugs, and ideas


  • Update the app from Google Play on Android, or TestFlight on iPhone, to get fixes and new features.
  • Found a bug or have an idea? The Mobile page in your dashboard has forms for both, or email support@fleetwire.io with "Mobile app" in the subject.
