Keechain vs Fleetwire: a Fleetwire alternative for Tesla hosts.
Both read Turo trips from your emails and give you a booking site. Keechain also hands out the Tesla key, charges Supercharging to the card automatically and locks the car when a payment fails.

What Fleetwire is
Fleetwire gives rental hosts a branded storefront, checkout, agreements and payments through Stripe or Square, with Turo bookings synced from forwarded emails to block its calendars.
Where Fleetwire is the better fit
- A mature storefront with a WordPress plugin and embeddable products.
- Insurance verification through Axle, and Square as well as Stripe.
- Coupons and discounts on Standard and up.
Where Keechain is the better fit
- The key. Each Turo guest or direct renter gets a Tesla phone key or app invite on schedule, removed when the trip ends. Fleetwire does not list phone keys.
- Charging billed for you. Sessions go on the driver’s card automatically with your markup, and declines are retried. Fleetwire’s help describes invoicing each charge by hand.
- A lock for unpaid balances. PIN to Drive once parked, on the Fleet plan.
- No vehicle caps per plan. Paid plans are priced per car.
What it costs, for 10 cars
Fleetwire lists $34 a month for up to 5 vehicles and $89 for up to 15, so 10 cars fall on the $89 plan ($69 a month billed yearly).
On Keechain, 10 cars are free, with phone keys, Turo sync, bookings and telemetry. With Supercharging re-billing and tolls (Pro) 10 cars are $14 a month; with the non-payment lock and alerts (Fleet) $37; with extensions, add-ons and renter texts (Rentals) $60.
