Adding & Removing Vehicle Owners (Consignment)

Last updated on Jul 08, 2026

The consignment system lets you manage vehicles owned by third parties. Add vehicle owners to track who owns what and calculate payout splits.

How to Add an Owner

  1. Go to the vehicle's detail page
  2. Navigate to the Consignment or Ownership section
  3. Click Add Owner
  4. Select a contact from your CRM (or create a new contact)
  5. Set the owner's commission split (percentage they earn from rentals)
  6. Save

How Consignment Splits Work

When a consignment vehicle is rented, the revenue is split between you and the owner based on the configured percentage. For example:

  • Owner gets 70%, you keep 30%
  • On a $1,000 rental: owner earns $700, you earn $300

These splits are tracked automatically and appear in owner payout reports.

Removing an Owner

  1. Go to the vehicle's consignment section
  2. Click Remove next to the owner
  3. Confirm

Removing an owner does not affect past rental records or payout history — only future rentals.
