Levy Fleets vs TSD Rental
TSD is the enterprise standard for insurance replacement and dealer loaner programmes. Levy is the option for operators who want published pricing and vehicles that earn when the counter is closed.
TL;DR: TSD is the enterprise standard for insurance replacement and dealer loaner management — Cox's own Clutch partnered with it rather than competing — and its direct carrier billing is something Levy does not replicate. But it sells contract-based enterprise deals to established operators. Levy offers published pricing, no contract, unattended collection, and revenue from idle inventory.

Insurance replacement is a different business, and TSD is better at it
If a meaningful share of your rental days are insurance replacement, this comparison is largely settled. Direct billing to carriers, adjuster workflows, and the reporting insurers expect are specialised capabilities built over decades, and Levy does not attempt them. What Levy adds to that kind of operation is narrower and specific: the vehicles sitting idle between replacement assignments, and the collections that have to happen outside office hours because a customer’s car was towed at 7pm. Those are addressable without touching the carrier-billing side at all.

Questions from operators considering the switch
Does Levy handle insurance replacement rentals?
Not at TSD’s depth, and it would be misleading to suggest otherwise. Direct billing to carriers, adjuster-facing workflows, and insurer reporting are specialised and TSD has built them over decades. Levy supports account-based billing and rental agreements, but a replacement-heavy operation should treat TSD’s carrier integration as a genuine advantage.
What can Levy add to a TSD operation?
Two things specifically. First, unattended collection: a customer whose vehicle went into the shop at 7pm can collect a replacement without waiting for the counter to open. Second, revenue from idle inventory — replacement fleets are sized for peak claim volume and sit under-utilized between assignments, and connected access lets those vehicles be rented to the public in the gaps.
Why is pricing not published?
TSD sells enterprise contracts to established operators, and that model normally involves scoped implementation, integration work, and negotiated terms. It is a legitimate way to sell complex software. It also means you cannot compare costs without entering a sales process, which is a real friction point if you are evaluating several options.
Is TSD the same as Clutch Technologies?
No, but they are connected. Clutch Technologies is Cox Automotive’s subscription and mobility software, and it partnered with TSD rather than building competing loaner management — which is a fair indication of TSD’s standing in that specific category. TSD itself is owned by Reynolds & Reynolds.
We are a small dealer group. Is TSD right for us?
TSD explicitly serves established operators rather than startups, so a small group may find the contract and implementation overhead disproportionate. That is the gap Levy fits: published pricing, no contract, and no implementation project to run a loaner fleet with connected access.
About TSD Rental
TSD is one of the oldest names in car rental technology and is widely described as the leading provider of loaner management software — Cox Automotive’s own Clutch Technologies partnered with TSD rather than building a competitor. Now owned by Reynolds & Reynolds, the dealership software giant, it offers a full rental management suite with unusually deep integrations for insurance replacement rentals, dealer loaner programmes, and franchise operations. It sells to established operators on contract terms rather than to startups, and that positioning is deliberate. Levy competes on transparency, unattended handover, and the ability to earn revenue from an idle loaner fleet.

TSD Rental Pricing
TSD does not publish pricing. Deals are quoted per operator on contract terms, typically annual or multi-year, and the company serves established rental operations, dealer groups, and insurance replacement specialists rather than small or new fleets. Buyers should expect a sales-led evaluation, implementation scoping, and contract negotiation rather than a self-serve sign-up.
