Messaging

Every renter kept in the loop, without you typing a word

Fleetwire emails renters automatically at every booking event, and texts them the things that can't wait — like their ID and insurance verification links — from a dedicated Fleetwire toll-free number. Renters stay informed, and you stop copy-pasting the same messages all day.

An automatic pickup reminder email and an ID verification text sent to a renter
Why it matters

Half your day is answering "what time again?"

Manual reminders are easy to forget and easy to get wrong. Automated messaging handles the routine touchpoints on a schedule, so renters show up prepared and you get your time back for the work that actually needs you.

  • Right message, right moment. Confirmations, reminders, and returns fire automatically.
  • Email and SMS, built in. Automatic email for every event, plus booking-event texts from a Fleetwire toll-free number.
  • Fewer no-shows. A timely reminder turns a forgotten booking into an on-time pickup.
Automatic messages for each booking event, by email and text, each with an on or off switch

Messaging questions

What gets sent automatically today?

Email goes out automatically for booking events — confirmations, pickup and return reminders, and more. Time-sensitive SMS, like the Stripe Identity and Axle verification links, are also sent automatically so renters can act right away.

How does the SMS work — do I need a number?

No setup on your end. Fleetwire sends booking-event texts from a dedicated toll-free number, so renters get things like their verification links by SMS without you provisioning anything.

Can I build my own custom SMS sequences?

Full SMS automation — your own sequences, timing, and quiet hours — is on the roadmap and coming soon. Today, SMS covers the essential, time-sensitive booking-event messages.
