Take payments and hold deposits with Stripe
Connect your Stripe account once and every booking collects payment, places a refundable deposit hold, and pays out to your bank — reconciled on a single ledger, PCI handled by Stripe.
Included on every plan · Connect in minutes · No card data on Fleetwire
One processor for payment and protection
Stripe runs the rental charge and the security-deposit authorization on the same account, so the money you collect and the hold you place reconcile against one balance. No second processor, no manual matching, no card numbers touching Fleetwire's servers.
- 40+ payment methods. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local methods at checkout.
- Deposit holds built in. Authorize a refundable deposit alongside the trip payment.
- Payouts to your bank. Funds settle to your own Stripe account on your schedule.
Live in three steps
Fleetwire uses Stripe Connect — you keep full ownership of your Stripe account and data.
Connect Stripe
Link an existing Stripe account or create one in the flow. Fleetwire never sees your login.
Set payments & deposits
Choose when to charge, and set a deposit amount per vehicle or class.
Take bookings
Every reservation now collects payment and places its hold automatically.
What the Stripe connection covers
From the first checkout to the final payout, the whole money trail lives in Fleetwire and reconciles in Stripe.
Pay up front, in the renter's preferred method
The renter pays on your white-labeled checkout with any method Stripe supports. The charge and the deposit authorization happen in one step, so there's no second form and no waiting on a manual invoice.
Deposit holds, captured only if you need them
The refundable hold sits on the renter's card for the trip. Capture against it for damage or fees, or let it release automatically at return. Longer trips re-authorize on their own so protection never lapses.
Every transaction reconciled in Stripe
Payments, refunds, captures, and payouts all carry the Fleetwire order reference, so your Stripe dashboard matches your booking list line for line. Export for accounting whenever you need it.
Stripe questions
Whose Stripe account is it?
Yours. Fleetwire connects to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect — payouts go to your bank, and you keep full access to the Stripe dashboard. Fleetwire never stores your card data or login.
What does Stripe charge?
Stripe's standard processing fees apply on payments (typically a small percentage plus a flat fee per transaction). Fleetwire doesn't add a markup on top of Stripe's rates.
Can I take deposits without charging up front?
Yes. You can place a deposit authorization without collecting the full rental payment immediately, depending on how you configure each vehicle's payment timing.
Do I need a separate processor for deposits?
No. Payments and deposit holds both run through the same connected Stripe account, so everything reconciles on one ledger.
