Removing your fleet
How to remove an asset from your fleet in Loopit
Once an asset has been associated with a booking in Loopit, it cannot be deleted from your account. This is because historical booking and financial records rely on that asset data to remain accurate and auditable.
If you no longer wish for an asset to be available for future bookings, you can archive the asset or disable it from your active fleet.
Archiving an Asset vs Disabling Booking
Feature / Behaviour
Archive Asset
Disable Booking
Purpose
Permanently remove a sold or retired asset from the active fleet.
Temporarily prevent bookings for an asset that remains part of the fleet.
How to Access
From the Actions › Archive option in the asset menu.
Toggle Booking Enabled ↔ Off in the asset page.
Fleet Visibility
No longer visible in active or inactive fleet lists. Appears only under Archived status.
Still visible in the fleet but marked as Unavailable for booking.
Bookings Constraint
Cannot be archived if it has a requested, confirmed, or active booking — an error will appear if attempted.
Can be disabled at any time (even with past bookings).
Data Retention
All historical data (bookings, utilisation, billing) remains accessible for reference.
All data remains intact; only new bookings are prevented.
Editability
Asset becomes read-only; no further updates allowed.
Asset details can still be updated.
Reporting Impact
Excluded from Fleet Utilisation, Performance, and other active fleet reports — data is included up to the archived date.
Included in reports but marked as Not Available for new bookings.
Export
Archived assets can still be exported if they appear in a filtered dataset.
Fully exportable as part of the active fleet dataset.
Billing (Loopit)
If archived mid-month, still counts toward that month’s billing.
Asset will count towards billing if it was enabled at any point during the billing month.
Reactivation
Cannot be reactivated directly; must be duplicated or reinstated as a new asset record.
Can be re-enabled instantly by toggling booking back On.
Example Use Case
Asset sold or permanently removed from operations.
Asset undergoing maintenance or temporarily off-road.

Why can't I delete an asset?
Loopit maintains asset data for any asset that has ever been used in a booking to ensure the accuracy of historical reporting, invoicing, and audit trails. Deleting these assets would compromise data integrity.
Need an asset permanently removed from your account?
If you have assets that were added in error and have never been used in a booking, we may be able to delete them for you. Please send a list of the relevant VINs or Rego numbers to your Customer Success Manager or support team. We’ll review and, where possible, arrange deletion through our engineering team.
