What is fleet management for Uber and Bolt fleets?
Fleet management means planning and controlling cars, drivers, rides and costs in one place. If your cars drive on Uber and Bolt in Germany, it also means keeping on top of German passenger transport law.
Most Uber X and Bolt rides in Germany are done as Mietwagen service: a car rented as a whole with a driver, where the passenger decides purpose and destination, and which – unlike a taxi – may not wait at the kerb for customers (§ 49(4) PBefG). Running it needs an operating licence, the Konzession, granted for at most five years (§ 16(4) PBefG).
Day to day, many fleets run on scattered tools: Uber revenue in one spreadsheet, Bolt revenue in another, shifts in a WhatsApp group, TÜV and insurance dates in a calendar. Fleet management software brings it together – and this page explains it in German, Turkish and English.
