The fireworks have faded, the backyard grills have cooled down, and for many fleet operators, rental companies, and delivery businesses, one of the busiest weekends of the summer is officially behind them. But once the holiday rush ends, another important task begins: Reviewing how your fleet performed. For businesses that rely on vehicles every day, […]

Accidents are an unavoidable part of managing a fleet. Whether it’s a rental car involved in a parking lot collision, an Amazon DSP delivery van with a damaged mirror, or a service vehicle involved in a rear-end accident, what happens in the minutes and hours afterward can have a major impact on costs, downtime, insurance […]

When a customer returns a rental vehicle, a delivery van, or a shared-use fleet vehicle, they expect the inspection process to be fair. Most customers understand that if they cause damage, they may be responsible for paying for it. What they do not expect is to feel surprised, confused, or unsure about how that decision […]

Vehicle turnaround time is one of the most important, and often overlooked, drivers of fleet efficiency.

However, one important decision many businesses face is who should complete those inspections. Should inspections be handled by employees, or should customers complete them themselves? The answer depends on your operation, your workflow, and your […]

Fleet operators and rental agencies have always faced the same challenge. When damage appears on a vehicle, determining when it happened and who is responsible can quickly become complicated.
