The Role

You'll be the operational backbone of our rental process, the person who makes sure every driver gets onboarded smoothly, every agreement is signed and filed, every payment is tracked, and every customer question gets answered quickly and professionally. You'll work hand-in-hand with our Fleet Coordinator to keep vehicles moving and drivers on the road. This is a high-trust role with a lot of ownership; the right person will eventually help us build and document the systems that run the business.

Schedule vehicle pickups and walk new drivers through the agreement

Rental agreements & documentation Prepare, send, and track rental agreements via e-signature

Ensure every signed agreement, ID, and supporting document is filed correctly

Manage renewals, extensions, and termination paperwork

Billing & payments Set up and monitor recurring (weekly) rental payments and deposits

Customer service

Be the first point of contact for drivers across phone, text, email, and chat

Answer questions, resolve issues, and escalate appropriately

Maintain a friendly, professional, solutions-first tone at all times

Request and manage reviews from satisfied drivers

Fleet coordination support

Coordinate vehicle pickups, returns, and swaps with the Fleet Coordinator Log and route maintenance requests; help schedule service

Track vehicle availability so we never promise a car we can't deliver

Compliance & admin Track vehicle registration, state inspection, and insurance dates

Manage toll tags, and process traffic/parking violations passed to drivers

Handle insurance admin (adding/removing drivers, claim paperwork intake)

Keep our Notion workspace and CRM accurate and up to date

Maintain and improve standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Reporting Send weekly reports on active rentals, fleet utilization, payments collected, and outstanding balances

What We're Looking For

2+ years as a virtual assistant, in operations, or in customer service (car rental, automotive, or logistics a strong plus)

Excellent written and spoken English, you'll be customer-facing

Highly organized and detail-oriented; you don't let things slip through the cracks

Comfortable with tools like Notion, GoHighLevel (or similar CRM), Google Workspace, e-signature platforms, and payment processors

Self-starter who can work independently and own outcomes

Reliable internet, a quiet workspace, and availability during Central Time business hours

Nice to Have

Experience with billing/collections or subscription/recurring payments

Familiarity with the rideshare/delivery ecosystem (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, etc.)

Experience documenting or building SOPs and workflows

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Every new driver is onboarded within 24 hours of approval

• Zero missing or unsigned agreements on file

• Payment collection rate consistently above target, with late accounts flagged early

• Customer inquiries answered within our response-time standard
