  1. In the menu, click Vehicles.

  2. Click the + button at the top right of the Vehicles table.

  3. Enter the details.

  4. Click Create vehicle.


Important: Make sure you select the correct vehicle type. After saving the vehicle, you cannot change the type yourself. If you need to change the type, send an email to your Vimcar representative.

Note: If you want to track your new vehicle on the map (Fleet Geo only), make sure you enter the dongle ID and activate the geo features. Your new vehicle will only appear on the map if it has a Vimcar tracking device installed, has the geo features activated, and has made at least one trip.

Vehicle type

Pool vehicles are used by multiple employees. Company cars are assigned to a single employee.

Some features are only available for a specific vehicle type.

Nickname (optional)

A name of your choice. This may make it easier to identify the vehicle.

Brand and Model

The make and model of the vehicle. If the make and model are not available, contact your Vimcar representative.

Registration number

The license plate number of the vehicle.

Hardware-ID (Fleet Geo only)

The number of your Vimcar device. The hardware ID is located on the back of the device as an IMEI and is also enclosed with your Vimcar package.

without dongle (Fleet Geo only)

Check this option to create the vehicle without entering a dongle ID.

For example, you may want to create the vehicle and add the dongle ID later, or use Vimcar Fleet features for vehicles that do not have a dongle.

Release vehicle for booking (Fleet Admin only)

Check this option to allow drivers to reserve the vehicle for a specific time period.

See Book a vehicle for more information.

Activate Geo features (Fleet Geo only)

Check this option to allow tracking of the vehicle on the map. See Activate tracking for a vehicle for more information.
