How to add more vehicles to your subscription
📝 Beta article — this article is part of our new help center. If a step doesn’t match what you see in Movcar, let us know — we’re refining the content daily.
Your Movcar plan has two independent dials: the tier (Starter, Premium, etc.) and the vehicle count (how many vehicles the tier covers). When your fleet grows, you usually just need more vehicles — not a different tier. This guide is for that.
📌 Not sure if you need more capacity? — Movcar refuses to save a new vehicle once you hit the subscription cap. The Add Vehicle form shows: “You’ve reached your subscription’s vehicle limit. Increase your subscription to add more vehicles.” That’s the trigger to come here.
Step 1 — Open Plan & Billing
Click your avatar → Billing & Payment. The page is titled Plan & Billing.
Step 2 — Adjust the vehicle count
Below the Payments toggle (Monthly / Yearly), find the section labelled something like Increase or decrease number of vehicles in subscription. It has a − count + stepper.
Bump the count up to the new number you need. The total monthly cost shown on each plan card updates from this number.
💡 Tip — Set the count to your real fleet size + buffer — if you know you’ll add 2 more vehicles in the next month, set the count to current + 2 now. Saves a second trip here.
Step 3 — Confirm the cadence (Monthly / Yearly)
Make sure the Payments toggle matches your current cadence (or whichever you want from now on). Yearly is typically cheaper per vehicle.
Step 4 — Click Select on your current plan
To apply the new vehicle count without changing tier, click Select on the plan card that currently has the green Active badge.
⚠ Don’t click Select on a different tier by accident — that would change your plan too. To add vehicles only, Select must be on the currently active plan.
Movcar submits the change to Stripe. Stripe prorates the additional cost: you’re charged immediately for the unused remainder of the current billing period, and from the next renewal onwards the new total applies.
Step 5 — Add the actual vehicles
Once the subscription change is confirmed (you’ll see a Successfully updated toast), go to My Fleet → Vehicles and add your new vehicles — see How to add a new vehicle. The block on the Add form is now lifted.
What you’ll see on your next invoice
- Mid-period prorated charge — a line item for the prorated extra-vehicle cost, dated to the change date.
- Next renewal — the new full price applies (your total vehicle count × your tier rate).
Past invoices stay as issued; only future invoices reflect the change.
Bulk-onboarding many vehicles at once
If you’re onboarding a whole new fleet (e.g. 20+ vehicles), do this in one trip:
- Bump the subscription vehicle count up to the new total.
- Click Select on the active plan.
- Use Import vehicles from Excel — see How to import vehicles from Excel. The import bypasses the per-vehicle Add flow and pushes them all in at once.

- How to import vehicles from Excel — bulk import.
- How to reduce vehicles from your subscription — when the fleet shrinks again.
