To **manage a fleet with documents and insurance**, the system has to track more than vehicles. Driver licences, insurance policies, and registration documents all have expiry dates, and each one can stop a vehicle from operating.

## Why document expiry is the real fleet risk

Vehicles break down predictably. Documents expire silently.

- An insurance policy lapsing without anyone noticing
- A driver operating with an expired licence
- Registration documents found to be out of date at the worst moment
- Renewal dates tracked in a personal calendar

## What a complete fleet system covers

| Area                        | What it tracks                                              |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Vehicles**                | Plate, mileage, consumption per litre, photos, observations |
| **Drivers**                 | Assignment and licence validity                             |
| **Documents and insurance** | Type, holder, vehicle, and expiry date                      |
| **Maintenance**             | Scheduled and completed work                                |
| **Trips**                   | Journeys and their associated costs                         |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Register each vehicle in **Jestor** — new or used — with its consumption per litre, so fuel cost can be estimated per distance.
2. Add a photo at intake, so the vehicle's condition on arrival is on record.
3. Record mileage and any observations that need to travel with the vehicle.
4. Register documents and insurance with their expiry dates.
5. Add a dashboard panel listing upcoming document expiries alongside recent maintenance and trips.

## Why choose Jestor for fleet operations?

**Jestor** keeps the vehicle photo on the record, which turns a subjective question — whether a vehicle is being looked after — into something comparable against the condition it arrived in.

Documents and insurance can be filtered by type, by title, or by expiry date, so a question like "which licences expire this quarter" is a filter rather than a report.

## Frequently Asked Questions
