This article provides instructions on how to apply Wheelbase insurance coverage to your vehicles.
Individual Vehicle Activation: You must navigate to each vehicle's profile individually to click + Apply Now in order to apply/enable insurance for your vehicle. A vehicle is not protected by Wheelbase insurance until it has been specifically submitted and marked as "Approved."
This video demonstrates how to apply insurance to each of your vehicles:
From your dashboard, select the Vehicles tab. Choose the specific vehicle you want to enable for coverage.
There are two ways to access the insurance application within the vehicle profile:
- Click the + Apply Now button directly on the vehicle's main page.
- Alternatively, navigate to the Insurance & Roadside tab.
Complete the Application
- Click the + Apply Now button.
- Enter the vehicle's VIN, the state of registration, and the current mileage.
- Note: Vehicles with a salvage title are not eligible for the system's insurance at this time.
- Review and accept the terms and conditions.
- Click Apply for insurance.
Verification
Once submitted, the insurance status will initially show as "Under review". This process is typically fast; refresh the page after a few moments to confirm the status has changed to "Approved".
Managing Guest Coverage
Once the vehicle is approved, you can configure how insurance is presented to your renters. As described in the global settings process above, you will choose whether guests are allowed to decline the Wheelbase insurance and provide their own for your verification as described above.
