Getting started with FleetGrow
FleetGrow keeps every vehicle, trip, service record and dollar in one place. This guide takes you from an empty account to a working fleet in about ten minutes.
Before you start
All you need is a FleetGrow account — no credit card, free to start. FleetGrow works for rental operators (Turo, local rentals) and for any business running its own fleet of 1–20 vehicles.
Tip: Have your registration and insurance expiry dates handy — FleetGrow reminds you 30 days before each one lapses. The actual document files (title, insurance, registration, inspection) attach separately, after the car exists.
Add your first vehicle
- 1Open Fleet and add a carGo to Fleet in the sidebar and click Add car.
- 2Enter the VIN, or fill in manuallyFleetGrow fills in the make, model, year, trim and 12 more specs from NHTSA. You can also enter everything by hand.
- 3Set renewal reminders and add a photoIn the Renewals section, set the plate/registration and insurance expiry dates. A photo is optional — cars without one show a placeholder.
- 4SaveThe vehicle appears in your fleet grid with its own profile: trips, maintenance history, finance and documents in one view.

Log your first trip
Trips are how FleetGrow tracks utilization and income. Open Trips, click Add trip, pick the vehicle, dates and earnings — done. The trip lands on the calendar and the income shows up in Finance automatically.
Note: Overlapping trips for the same vehicle are flagged so you never double-book a car.
See where your money goes
Every trip, service record and expense you log feeds the Financesection: earned vs. spent per vehicle, monthly P&L and a year-end tax report you can export. No spreadsheet required.
