Vehicle Utilization Calculator
Cars, working days and real rides against target. See instantly how much capacity is unused.
Result
Solid — in target range.
A Mietwagen without a passenger still costs money. Leasing, insurance, tax keep running. Utilization is the most important number. It shows what percent of possible rides you actually did. This number decides if your fixed costs are covered. This calculator shows in seconds if your fleet is healthy.
How the calculator works
You type in: number of cars. Working days per month (usually 26). Target rides per car per day. In the city that's 10 to 14, outside 6 to 9. And your real rides from Uber, Bolt and direct customers last month. The calculator works out the theoretical maximum. Then it divides your real rides by that number. That's your utilization. A traffic light shows: critical, low, solid or too high.
What Fahrly does for you
The number alone is just the start. It gets interesting when you can see: which car is weak when. Which driver has which shifts. Fahrly's Business Intelligence module (the number overview) shows this automatically. Per car, per driver, per weekday. The Dispatch module (the ride assignment) can route requests to weak cars when utilization is low. A number becomes a tool.
Utilization is the most important number in your fleet. Make it visible.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
›What's a good utilization?
70 to 85 percent is solid. Below 55 percent, your fleet is too big or demand is too weak. With the high fixed costs of a Mietwagen, you lose money. Above 85 percent, you have no buffer for illness, workshop or accident. Then you turn down orders and lose customers.
›Why is low utilization so dangerous?
The fixed costs stay the same. A car with 180 instead of 260 rides still pays the full leasing rate, insurance and tax. The contribution per ride drops. Margin tips fast. At 40 percent utilization, almost no car is still in the black.
›How do I raise utilization?
Two ways. First: more demand. Through direct customers on your own website. Corporate customers via CRM. More Uber time in off-peak. Second: fewer cars. Sell the weakest. Then the rest runs better. Both need real numbers.
