The vehicle status shows what stage a vehicle is in. A vehicle can be in any of the following statuses:
- In preparation: preparing a vehicle for loan
- Staged: the vehicle is ready to loan
- Hard hold or Maintenance: the vehicle needs repair and is not available to loan
- Shuttle: the vehicle is being used for shuttle purposes
- Rented: the vehicle is out on a contract with a customer
- Returned: the vehicle has arrived back from a contract
- Disposed: the vehicle is no longer part of the fleet
Vehicle status can only be changed for vehicles NOT in a rented status. Once a contract is finished, the vehicle status will move from rented to returned.
