- Each driver will receive a modification e-mail for each reservation, indicating the new characteristics (including the new vehicle). Remember to write and SAVE the email and SMS template of the type “change of vehicle to leave the fleet” (SETTINGS > CAR SHARING > NOTIFICATION TEMPLATES).

Cancel reservations: the following actions take place automatically:

Rolling law
Know exactly where you stand with your contractual (lease) or internal (ownership) rolling law.
The rolling law can be contractual for your lease or “estimated” for vehicles that you own.
In both cases, it is important to know where you stand with regard to the renewal of your vehicles and the costs that may result.
According to the elements entered (start date, mileage, duration), the application gives you the state of your rolling law (LDR) and the projection of what it will be at the end of your contract or your estimated date of exit from the fleet (ownership):
: high underutilization (<70%) or high overutilization (> 130%)
: under-utilization (70 to 90%) or over-utilization (111 to 130%)
: conforming use (from 91 to 110%)
In this example, the vehicle is rented:
1. It is underutilized compared to the planned LDR (22%)
2. Duration is consistent (7 months out of the 36 contracted)
3. And the mileage is consistent (3,822 vs. 90,000 km planned)
4. In the HISTORY section, the contracts and any amendments to the leasing agreement are visible here.
