The Ride Platform’s November 5, 2026 announcement makes Wheelbase 2.0 available for auto operators now, while RV operators are expected to move over in early 2027. A business running both types of vehicle should keep those two timelines separate before planning staff training or a pricing-rule trial.
Read the rollout by fleet type
The company also expects a redesigned mobile app in the first quarter of 2027. That is a future app update, not a claim that Wheelbase has no mobile app today: its current website already advertises iOS and Android access. Confirm the version and vehicle category involved in any demonstration.
Choose a small pricing-preview question
Among the announced 2.0 changes are pricing rules with a live preview and discounts that can target booking dates or travel dates. Those are different questions for a rental operator. A booking made during a promotion may be for a trip well outside it.
Consider a fictional auto-rental promotion. An operator wants a discount for reservations made November 10–12, regardless of when the trip happens. Write that intention in plain language first. The dates describe a teaching exercise, not a Wheelbase offer, default setting or verified configuration.
Try dates that distinguish the two meanings
- Example A: booking on November 11 for travel on December 3. Under the fictional intention, the booking qualifies.
- Example B: booking on November 8 for travel on November 11. Under the same intention, the booking does not qualify.
- Example C: booking on November 11 for travel on November 12. Both dates fall inside the window, so this example alone cannot distinguish which date the rule uses.
Before an authorized trial, record the vehicle category, selected date basis, promotion window and expected outcome for each example. Ask the evaluator to compare the preview with those expectations. If the result differs, retain the displayed rule and actual result before changing anything; the mismatch alone does not identify the cause.
Keep the RV handover on its own line
For a fictional mixed fleet, give the auto pilot and RV preparation separate entries in the rollout plan. One can record a demonstrated result while the other records a supplier confirmation still needed. Do not copy an auto demonstration into the RV readiness column merely because both assets appear in the same business.
Ask the supplier which release the account has, which vehicles the proposed workflow covers and when the team should revisit any unavailable feature. This keeps a staff handover useful even if a planned date changes. Availability and a successful demonstration are different pieces of evidence.
The examples above are proposed evaluation cases. No Wheelbase account, pricing rule, reservation, rental payment or mobile app was tested for this article. They do not establish discount stacking, fees, time-zone boundaries or final checkout totals; those need their own confirmed configuration and checks.
