Wheely launches single-payment Family Accounts scheme for members

Chauffeur platform Wheely has launched a new Family Accounts scheme that allows eligible customers to extend their Wheely membership privileges to the people closest to them and share one single payment method to book journeys.

Members can invite up to six people to join their account, giving them access to membership benefits while journeys are paid for centrally. Account owners can view journey history and spend, manage access and keep track of activity directly through their Wheely app.

Family Accounts can be used across families and partners, as well as household staff and family offices. For family offices in particular, a nominated admin or account holder, such as a chief of staff or head of family office, can manage the account centrally, with visibility over journeys and spend, including receipts and expenses, while enabling those across the family office to book Wheely journeys independently.

Family Accounts easily pairs with Wheely’s dedicated Kids class, which includes Mercedes-Benz V-Class and EQV vehicles with certified child seats and space for wheelchairs, aimed at parents, carers or nannies.

While Wheely members have previously been able to arrange and pay for journeys for others through Book for Another, shared payment cards or Wheely for Business, Family Accounts brings access, payments and journey visibility together, giving the account owner oversight without the need to share payment details or coordinate individual bookings.
