Managing your drivers in Relay

How to create drivers, assign a policy limit their payment options.

You can manage your drivers in Relay from the Drivers page. From here, you can add or remove drivers, assign payment policies, and track usage.


Adding a driver

To add a new driver, click the New Driver button in the top-right of the Drivers page. A slide-out form will appear where you can enter their basic information, assign a policy, and choose whether to send an app invite.

You’ll be able to fill in the following fields:

  • First Name and Last Name

  • Phone Number and Email

  • Driver policy – controls what types of payments the driver can make

  • Relay Expense card – assign a payment card if your policy allows it

  • Invite driver to the Relay App – checked by default; sends a download link by text when the driver is saved

You may send an invite later by clicking the three-dot menu next to the driver and selecting Send App Download Text.

Once you've completed all necessary fields, Click on Save to create the driver.


Adding a driver to a policy

Driver policies define how much, how often, and on what a driver can spend. When adding or editing a driver, you’ll be prompted to select a policy from the dropdown menu.

Some policies may also include prompted data requirements that drivers must enter before making a purchase. These can include:

  • Odometer reading

  • Truck #

  • Driver PIN

  • Any custom input set by your team

If your policy uses a MATCH requirement (e.g. exact PIN), you’ll be prompted to enter the expected value during setup. Drivers must enter the exact same value when completing a transaction.


Editing a driver

To update a driver’s information:

  1. Locate the driver on the Drivers page

  2. Click the three-dot menu at the end of their row

  3. Select Edit

From here, you can:

  • Update the driver’s name, or email

    • Note - You cannot edit a driver's phone number once they have been added. To update a driver's phone number you will need to delete and re-add them.

  • Reassign or update their driver policy

  • Enable or disable Relay Expense card access

You can also view a history of changes made to each driver (e.g. who edited their info or enabled their policy)


Disable, remove or reactivate a driver

Use the three-dot menu on the Drivers page to manage a driver’s access:

  • Disable driver’s policy - temporarily blocks the driver from making purchases

  • Enable policy - restores spending access for a previously disabled driver

  • Remove driver - permanently deletes the driver from your organization

Disabling a driver does not delete them from your account. They’ll retain their profile and history but won’t be able to spend.
