What's new
Country, currency, distance units, and timezone now read from one shared layer that propagates everywhere - operator screens, the renter Fleet Link, emails, and exports.
EUR fleets finally see € instead of $, everywhere. It's the groundwork for selling into every market Autoflow reaches.
Dashboard, Analytics, Fleet, Customers, Settings, and Bookings were rebuilt under the hood for speed, reliability, cleaner UI, and more dependable webhooks. Most operators just noticed faster everything.
A foundational rewrite, not a coat of paint - the groundwork the next year of features stands on, hardened by seven straight founder-led QA sessions before it shipped.
Insurance Pre-Verification (Axle) joined the Verification Suite. Confirm a renter's insurance automatically at checkout, with an auditable record on every booking - instead of chasing PDFs, emails, and phone-call screenshots.
The third and final check in the stack: identity, background, and now insurance, all in one in-platform flow.
The verification stack came together as one product. ID Verification (Stripe Identity) and Background Checks (Checkr) are unified into the Confirm Booking flow - run them on a renter with a single click. Insurance Pre-Verification (Axle) completed the trio the following month.
Every booking now starts with a checked driver. Dispute rates drop, and the story you tell your insurer gets a lot stronger. Set it as your default and it pays for itself the first time it catches a bad actor.
Verification used to be pay-per-check across three separate vendors. Now it's one unified credit pool with monthly subscription tiers - Starter, Growth, Pro, and Scale - plus on-demand top-up packs when you need extras.
One subscription, one credit balance. Subscription credits reset monthly; top-up credits never expire, so you can stockpile a safety net for the bookings you didn't see coming.
Drop in a VIN and Autoflow pulls make, model, year, type, speed, and power - then writes a polished 600+ character description automatically. What used to take 5-10 minutes per car now takes under a minute.
Onboarding a 10-car fleet? That's an hour back. About 10x faster, end to end.
The booking flow was rebuilt as independent stages: Confirm, Payment, Check-Out, Start, Extend, and Return. Take payment now or at check-out. Sign the contract before or after. Whatever order matches how your fleet actually runs.
The old flow forced one sequence. This one bends around you.
The pricing model collapsed to one number: $20 per vehicle per month. Annual billing at -15%. Enterprise pricing kicks in at 25+ vehicles. No tier maze, no surprise add-ons - you always know exactly what you owe.
New signups now walk through setup as a single guided path. The steps that used to scatter across docs and DMs are one linear flow with contextual help - so a new operator reaches their first booking faster, with less hand-holding.
Every release now surfaces inside the app the moment it lands, so you never miss a new capability. It's how you'll hear about most of what's on this page without leaving your dashboard.
Step 4 of Add Vehicle now captures the business side of a car: owner contact, finance, registration, and the revenue split percentages. Vehicle Analytics can slice the numbers by Total, Owner, Company, or 3rd Party - and export a shareable per-car report for investors.
This is the seed of the Investor Suite coming later in the year.
Tax is now configured per vehicle (Step 2 of Add Vehicle), with a per-booking override. No global tax tab - multi-state and cross-border operators handle each car on its own terms.
Subscription credits reset each month, but top-up credits carry forever - a safety net for the bookings you didn't see coming. Stockpile them and they'll be waiting.
Every rental contract now carries a full audit trail and metadata - who signed, when, and what changed. Cleaner compliance, and a far stronger position the day you need to defend a dispute.
Renters verify their identity with a government ID and a live selfie through Stripe Identity, right inside the booking. The result caches on the customer record, so a verified renter stays verified on every future booking - the identity pillar of what became the Verification Suite.
Security deposits became an authorization instead of a charge. You send the request; the renter authorizes a hold on their own card through Stripe, so no money actually moves until you capture it.
At return, release the whole hold, capture only the deductions, or capture in full and bill the overage. You pay zero processing fees on money you give back.
Invite your team into one shared workspace with role-based access - Owner, Manager, and Staff - so nobody shares a password again. Permissions are enforced at the API, not just hidden in the UI, and an activity log records who did what.
Connect Google Calendar and every booking syncs automatically - vehicle, renter, pickup and return times, and status on each event. Your fleet's real schedule lands in the calendar you already check each morning, and logged off-platform bookings sync too, so the picture is complete.
Add extra authorized drivers to a booking. Each one becomes a customer record with its own verification history - so everyone who actually touches the car is documented, not just the person who booked it.
Record rentals that happened outside Autoflow - DM bookings, cash deals, and history from before you switched. They land on the calendar and in your revenue and customer records alongside platform bookings, so your numbers and your schedule are whole.
Flag a bad renter once and every operator on Autoflow gets warned before they hand over keys. Most fleet software blacklists are per-account; Autoflow's is network-wide - matched primarily by driver's license number, with the reason and date attached.
It's a warning, not a hard block: the call stays yours. Your worst rental becomes the whole network's protection. Industry first.
Run a background check on a renter (Checkr) without leaving Autoflow - criminal history and SSN trace in seconds. The first screening check on the platform, later unified into the Verification Suite.
