What managed operations replace

Vulog sells software; the field and rider operations stay yours. Levy Managed absorbs rider support, payment operations, disputes, refunds, and collections at 20% of GMV against a $250/mo minimum. These figures price that labour, not a competitor quote — Vulog does not publish one.

When to Choose Each Platform

Choose Levy Fleets if you...

  • You operate a micro-mobility fleet (e-scooters, e-bikes, golf carts) rather than cars
  • You want transparent pricing without an enterprise sales process
  • You have fewer than 100 vehicles and cannot justify Vulog's enterprise minimums
  • You need fast onboarding in days, not a months-long implementation
  • You prefer a managed service that handles rider support and payment disputes
  • You are a US-based hospitality or campus operator
  • Need parking photo verification and AI damage detection — car-focused OEM platform lacks these
  • Need US tax compliance (W-9, 1099-K) and automated Stripe dispute defense
  • Want loyalty rewards, referral programs, and per-ride insurance — enterprise OEM model doesn't include these

Choose Vulog if you...

  • You are an automotive OEM launching a branded mobility service (e.g., Volkswagen, Kia)
  • You need AI-powered dynamic pricing and predictive fleet optimization at enterprise scale
  • You operate a large carsharing fleet (500+ cars) and need OEM keyless vehicle integration
  • You want to offer carsharing, subscription, corporate fleet, and micro-mobility from one platform
  • You are a city transit authority planning a multi-modal mobility-as-a-service deployment

Managed plan includes rider support and payment operations

Questions from operators considering the switch

Does Vulog publish pricing?
No. Vulog sells enterprise agreements to automotive OEMs and large fleet operators — Volkswagen, Kia, and Stellantis among them — and pricing comes through a sales process. Levy publishes its rates and has no minimum fleet size, which is usually the deciding factor for operators below OEM scale.
Is Vulog overkill for my fleet?
If you are running under a few hundred vehicles and are not an OEM, probably yes. Vulog’s AiMA platform is built for global carsharing programs with deep OEM keyless integration. That depth is real and Levy does not match it on OEM vehicle integration. Levy connects cars through the Smartcar API across 40+ brands, which covers most non-OEM operators.
Does Levy have AI-powered pricing and optimization?
Yes. The bounty engine prices vehicle work dynamically — state-of-charge tiers, a zone demand index, a demand-forecast surge multiplier capped at 2.5×, and distance bonuses. The fleet-intelligence suite covers demand forecasting, forecast-accuracy tracking, opportunity zones, and supply constraints. Vulog’s Smart Pricing and Smart Ops modules are more mature for large carsharing specifically.
Can Levy run carsharing as well as micromobility?
Levy runs cars in production via Smartcar integration across 40+ brands, alongside scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, golf carts, and LSVs — all on one account rather than separate modules. For a pure large-scale carsharing program with OEM keyless requirements, Vulog is the more specialized choice.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Levy exports rides, riders, vehicles, and financial records on demand — your data is yours. Worth asking any enterprise vendor the same question before signing a multi-year agreement, and worth getting the answer in the contract rather than in an email.
How quickly can Levy launch versus an enterprise deployment?
Levy typically launches in two to three weeks for a fleet with connected hardware. Enterprise carsharing deployments are usually measured in months because of OEM integration, procurement, and legal review. If speed matters more than OEM depth, that gap is the real story.
