If you buy RUC (Road User Charges) for your vehicles, you may be able to claim a refund from NZTA (NZ Transport Agency) due to your vehicle’s off-road travel. Fleetpin makes it easy to submit these applications.

Adding RUC Licences
There are two ways to add new RUC Licences:
Tracking View > Select asset > Scroll down and select + RUC Licence
2. Go to Admin > Assets > Select asset > RUC
Here you can add a new RUC licence, edit a current one, and see older RUC licences.
We have also included a handy button ‘Purchase RUC licence’ which will take you straight to the NZTA website to purchase RUC, it’s a quick and easy process!
RUC Off-Road Report
If you have vehicles in your fleet that frequently travel in known off-road areas, you can use Fleetpin's RUC Off-Road Report to help you gather the evidence you need to lodge a rebate with NZTA (learn more about the rebate here).
Off-Road areas will be detected with LINZ data, but if you need to manually add or correct off-road areas you can easily set up geofences.
The activity recorded requires verification. Inaccurate data can occur as a result of GPS drift (e.g. when a vehicle drives through a tunnel and loses connection with the satellite), or if the LINZ data is not yet up-to-date with new roads.
Once verified, you are ready to use this report to manually fill out and submit your application to apply for your RUC rebate. Unless… you have RUCOR Advanced.
RUCOR Advanced - $2.00+GST per asset per month
The RUCOR Advanced add-on allows you to automatically fill your rebate applications; select and review eligible RUC licences, generate the PDF application, and submit it. Eliminate the need to manually fill out and post paper submissions for all of your RUC licences and let this add-on do all the work for you.
How it works
The RUCOR Advanced add-on automatically populates all fields in the NZTA RUCOR form from your Fleetpin off-road data and your business details. If you have more than 10 RUC licences to claim, the add-on will automatically add additional RUCOR pages. Finally, just review and digitally sign the form, and we’ll send it directly to NZTA along with a copy for your records.
Make sure your RUC Application Settings are filled out and up-to-date - this information will be used to auto-fill the claim form and save you time if you have multiple pages or submissions.

Start Your RUCOR Claim
To start you claim, simply use the check boxes to select which licence you wish to claim and then click Start RUCOR Claim
If you have not verified all of the selected licences you will receive a reminder that there are selected licences that have not been verified and that To help avoid rejected claims, we recommend verifying off-road activity before submitting a RUCOR to NZTA.
If you click Start RUCOR Claim this will proceed to the claiming process without having verified all of the licences.
Enable RUCOR Advanced within the Add-On Suite, learn how here.
