Overview

Vehicle Categorization in Moovs is a powerful tool for optimizing fleet management. By grouping vehicles into categories, operators can simplify dispatching, streamline customer portal interactions, and manage their fleets more efficiently.

This guide covers the General Use of Vehicle Categories—from creating and customizing categories to managing customer portal settings and assigning vehicles.

Creating a Vehicle Category

  1. Navigate to Vehicles → Categories tab.

  2. Click Create Category.

  3. Provide:

    • Name (e.g., "Premium SUVs" or "Economy Sedans")

    • Capacity & details (add photos for easy identification)

Adding Policies

  • Apply Cancellation and Insurance Policies from your account settings.

  • Select the desired policy from the dropdown menus.

Defining Vehicle Features

On the Features tab, check the boxes for the amenities and policies relevant to the category. Examples include:

  • General: luggage space, refrigerator, wheelchair accessibility

  • Multimedia: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, game console

  • Policies: pet-friendly, smoking allowed

This ensures customers and operators have full visibility into the vehicle’s amenities.

Configuring Customer Portal Settings

Control how the category appears to customers:

  • Display Category on Customer Portal: toggle ON to make it visible for booking.

  • Enable Base Rate Automation on Customer Portal: allows customers to see pricing directly without requesting a quote.

  • Availability Options:

    • Block quote requests when vehicles are unavailable

    • Block reservations when vehicles are unavailable

Adding Vehicles to a Category

  1. Open the Vehicles tab.

  2. Click Add Vehicle.

  3. Select vehicles from the list and confirm.

Finalizing and Saving

Click Save to activate the new category. Vehicles and settings are now organized for quick use in dispatching and bookings.
