From Passion to 15-Car Fleet: How Axel Luxury is Scaling Smart with Autoflow
How Kyle Barrera turned his passion into a 15-car rental fleet in Chicago—and how Autoflow helped him scale Axel Luxury without the chaos.
Finding the Right Business Fit
In October 2024, Kyle Barrera set out to do what most aspiring entrepreneurs only dream about—launch a business doing something he actually loved.
“I always wanted to start a business,” Kyle shares. “But I tried multiple ventures in the past and always gave up because I didn’t have the passion for what I was doing.”
That changed when he discovered the exotic car rental space. Fueled by genuine excitement, Kyle joined the Exotic Fleet Formula program, where he learned how to build and scale a fleet. By December 2024, he was live on the market with his first vehicle: a Lamborghini Urus.
Rapid Growth & Operational Chaos
What began as a one-car launch quickly turned into something much bigger. Within just a few months, Kyle’s company, Axel Luxury, had grown to a 15-car fleet and successfully broke into the Chicago market—one of the most competitive rental spaces in the country.
“We’re having a ton of fun over here and we’re excited for what the future has in store!”
But with growth came new challenges. Managing bookings, contracts, and vehicle logistics became increasingly difficult.
“As we scaled, it became difficult to manage rental operations,” Kyle explains. “We decided to adopt Autoflow to help us stay organized and automate our bookings.”
Structure, Automation, and Scaling Smart
Autoflow quickly became essential to the way Axel Luxury runs day-to-day.
“Autoflow has been a great help,” Kyle says. “It’s made it easier to keep track of contracts, bookings, vehicle availability, and client data without getting overwhelmed.”
Autoflow was built specifically to support fast-growing exotic rental fleets—offering tools like real-time fleet dashboards, digital contracts, background checks, revenue tracking, and streamlined client communication.
“Autoflow helped us take control of our fleet instead of letting it control us.”
With systems in place, Kyle can now focus on continued growth and expansion. Axel Luxury is scaling smart, and they’re just getting started.
