Robotaxi and Cybercab management companies, compared, with sources.

The short answer

Nobody manages a privately owned Cybercab yet: none is in service, and Tesla has published no terms for owners to join its network. Fleet operators such as Avis, Moove and Transdev manage robotaxis for Waymo today. The companies offering to run an owner’s Cybercab, DockDuty included, are pre-launch.

How we compared

Checked: October 4, 2026. We opened every source in the tables that day and re-check monthly, because sites in this category change often.

Every company gets the same seven columns: the model it describes (depot, flat fee, SPV or revenue share), whether the owner keeps title, whether pricing is published, whether it takes a deposit and on what terms, whether it names a legal entity, its operating status on the date checked, and the source we opened. Cells quote or summarize what the company’s own site, or the cited public source, says. We add no adjectives, scores or ratings, and rows are alphabetical within each group.

n/a means a column does not apply: the group 1 companies operate an AV company’s fleet, and the sources cited for them describe no service for individual owners. Group 2 is pre-launch by definition: no privately owned Cybercab is in service, so no company can be managing one yet.

DockDuty is listed, and DockDuty is not neutral. We sell the depot stalls this page compares, so weigh our view accordingly; our row uses the same columns as everyone else’s. Nothing here is investment advice.

This is not a complete list. Depot developers and charging companies that serve fleets in general, rather than individual owners, are in our robotaxi depot company directory. To add or correct a row, email support@dockduty.com with a link to the source.

1. Companies managing robotaxis today

These fleet operators do the physical work (charging, cleaning, maintenance, depots) for Waymo’s robotaxis. Their customer is the AV company or the ride network, not an individual owner. Who runs depots for whom, in more depth, is on what a robotaxi depot operator is.

Announced, not confirmed live when we checked: Hertz’s Oro Mobility will provide charging, maintenance, repairs, cleaning and depot staffing for Uber’s robotaxi program of Lucid vehicles with Nuro technology. On April 30, 2026, Hertz said those services were expected to launch in the San Francisco Bay Area later in 2026 (Hertz, checked Oct 4, 2026).

Running a taxi, livery or rideshare fleet yourself? What robotaxis change for an existing fleet owner, and what you can do before Tesla opens ordering, is in robotaxis for taxi fleet owners.

2. Pre-launch companies offering to run privately owned Cybercabs and other robotaxis

Each of these says it will manage a robotaxi that an individual, or the owner’s company, owns. The status column is what each says about itself; read each site for its full terms.

Not in this table: shared-ownership projects where you would hold shares rather than a car, such as Cybercab Collective (its site says “Prelaunch · No investments accepted at the moment”); companies that describe buying and running their own vehicles rather than other people’s, such as DFW CyberFleet; and companies that sell territory licenses to would-be service operators. Checked Oct 4, 2026.

Questions to ask any fleet manager

Whichever direction you lean, put these to every operator you talk to, including us. The answers should be fast and specific. Hesitation on any of them is information.

• Who holds the title? If the answer is anything other than “you do, or your own company does,” you’re looking at an investment product, not fleet management.
• What insurance is in place, and whose is it? Your commercial AV policy on the car, plus the operator’s coverage while it’s in their care. At DockDuty, garage-keeper and general liability coverage is to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle; ask any operator for the same commitment in writing.
• What are the exit terms? Minimum contract length, termination fees, notice period, and how fast you get your final earnings. (Ours: month-to-month, 30 days’ notice, no termination fees. How and when trip earnings reach owners depends on terms Tesla hasn’t published, so we don’t promise a payout date.)
• What happens in a slow month? Have them walk you through an actual lean-month statement. Do you still owe the full fee? Does their take shrink with yours?
• Can I see the software before I sign? If they’re managing your asset, you should see the dashboard you’ll live in (live map, telemetry, earnings, statements) before any money moves.
• What do you charge for charging? Electricity at fleet scale is a real cost. Is it passed through at depot rate, marked up, or buried in a per-mile fee?

What is robotaxi fleet management?

Robotaxi fleet management is the day-to-day work of keeping a driverless car earning: charging it, cleaning and inspecting it between rides, staging it near demand, coordinating maintenance, responding when it gets stuck or damaged, and reconciling what it earned. The ride network dispatches trips; fleet management handles everything around the ride. Software can track that work, but someone still has to do the physical part.

Cybercab fleet management is the same job for Tesla’s purpose-built robotaxi, with two twists: the car has no steering wheel, so a stranded one has to be fetched, and the cars seen so far charge only on DC fast chargers, so somebody has to connect one. The job-by-job version, with what stays the owner’s, is what DockDuty’s Cybercab fleet management covers.

What are the fleet management options for a privately owned Cybercab?

None is live yet: no privately owned Cybercab is in service, and Tesla has published no terms for owners to join its network. If Tesla does open it, a model its 2025 proxy describes in conditional terms, Tesla would presumably dispatch the rides, with the physical work falling to the owner, a flat-fee operator, or a third-party depot paid a retainer plus a share of fares.

The Cybercabs carrying riders today are Tesla’s own, carrying public riders in its Austin robotaxi fleet since September 4, 2026, and Tesla runs them. Which one an owner should pick turns on fleet size and distance from the service area; the four options below, including the SPV route where you own shares instead of a car, put numbers on it. The deeper version of the question, including what a real third-party depot needs, is who manages a privately owned Cybercab: manufacturer, owner or contracted depot. DockDuty is building the third-party depot option, so weigh our view accordingly.

There are four realistic answers, and they are genuinely different products. The fourth, a revenue-share depot, puts a physical Cybercab depot behind your car for a share of what it earns. This section walks through each one, including the math.

Option 1: Manage it yourself

The default plan, and for some owners the right one. Your Cybercab parks at your house, you find DC charging for it yourself (the cars seen so far cannot charge on a home Wall Connector), and it runs on Tesla’s network when it’s out. There’s no platform fee, so on paper the economics are the best of any option.

The cost is paid in hours instead of dollars. A day of DIY fleet management looks something like this: check overnight charging actually completed and the car makes its morning dispatch window; wipe down the interior between ride blocks (riders rate cars they don’t drive, and dirty cars get fewer dispatches); stage the car back into its service area after it drifts; verify firmware and sensor health before releasing it; photograph and document any damage the moment it appears, because insurance claims live or die on timestamps; and reconcile trip income against per-mile expenses at the end of the month. We covered this “operational tax” in more depth in our fleet ownership primer.

DIY works if you own one car, live inside your service area, and honestly enjoy the ops. It stops working around vehicle two: the driveway becomes a staging lot, the charger becomes a bottleneck, and your evenings belong to the fleet.

Option 2: Flat-fee operators

The second model: a company charges you a fixed monthly rate to manage the car: published figures in table 2 run from an expected $1,500 plus $0.35/mi to $2,375 flat (checked Oct 4, 2026). You pay the same amount whether the car earns $4,000 that month or $400.

Run the numbers on a hypothetical operator charging $1,200/month plus $0.10 per mile. A cab driving 3,000 miles in a month owes $1,500 in management fees before insurance or financing. In a strong month grossing $3,500, that leaves $2,000, fine. In a lean month grossing $1,400 (a slow season, a service-area change, a week in the shop) you owe the operator more than the car earned. You absorbed the entire bad month; the operator’s revenue didn’t move.

That’s the incentive problem with flat fees, and it’s worth naming plainly: a flat fee with no per-mile part pays the operator the same in a good month or a bad one. To be fair, flat fees have a real upside case too: if your car reliably grosses very high numbers (roughly north of $6,300/month against the fee structure above), a fixed fee becomes the cheaper deal than a percentage. Just be skeptical of any projection that starts there. Nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings data yet, including us.

Option 3: SPV and equity structures

The third model isn’t really fleet management at all. In an SPV (special purpose vehicle) or equity structure, you invest money into an entity, and the entity owns and operates a fleet. You hold shares. You don’t hold a title, you can’t pull “your” car out, and your return depends on the entity’s overall performance and its management’s decisions, not on a specific vehicle you chose and financed.

That’s not a criticism; it’s a category difference. An SPV is a private investment product, with the diligence burden that implies: audited financials, securities filings, fee stacks, lock-up and redemption terms. If what you want is passive exposure to the robotaxi economy without owning anything, this is the honest way to get it. If what you want is your Cybercab earning for you: an asset you can see on a map, command from a dashboard, and sell whenever you choose, an SPV doesn’t give you that, at any price.

Option 4: Revenue-share depots

The fourth model: the car lives at a physical depot, a purpose-built facility for autonomous fleets: that handles parking, charging, cleaning, dispatch, and incident response, and charges a monthly retainer plus a percentage of what your car actually earns. Title stays in your name. Exit is on notice, not on a contract term. The business that runs one is a robotaxi depot company for private owners, which is a different thing from fleet-management software.

This is the model we’re building, what DockDuty handles day to day is the full list. So here are our real numbers rather than a hypothetical, on the Priority schedule new owners pay today: a monthly retainer of $550 per stall for 1–2 cabs (scaling down to $475 at 7+), plus a platform fee of 15% of ride revenue (14% at 5–6 cabs, 13% at 7+). The founding schedule, which the first 50 stalls locked in before that book sold out on September 5, 2026, was lower ($450 down to $350, 15% down to 11%) and is closed. Take the same two months from the flat-fee example, at Priority rates:

• Strong month, $3,500 gross: $550 retainer + $525 platform fee = $1,075. You keep $2,425 before insurance and financing, and the depot earned more because your car did.
• Lean month, $1,400 gross: $550 retainer + $210 platform fee = $760. You keep $640. Not a great month, but you’re still positive, because the depot’s take shrank with your revenue. The depot eats the lean month with you. Under the flat-fee example above, that identical month put you $100 underwater.

That alignment is the entire argument for revenue share. When the operator’s income is a percentage of yours, chasing your utilization (faster turnarounds, cleaner cars, smarter charging windows) is how the operator gets paid. The trade-off is symmetrical and worth stating: in monster months, you’ll pay a revenue-share depot more than you’d have paid a flat fee. You’re buying downside protection and aligned incentives with a slice of the upside.

The four options, side by side

If you want the version of this decision framed around who ends up holding the keys rather than which pricing model you pick, that is what a third-party Cybercab depot is.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the best Cybercab fleet management company?

We do not name one, and the record to judge one does not exist yet: no privately owned Cybercab is in service, so no company has managed one. The fleet operators in group 1 manage Waymo robotaxis today. The companies in group 2, DockDuty included, are pre-launch. Compare them on the columns above and put the questions on this page to each of them.

Is any company managing a privately owned Cybercab today?

No. The Cybercabs carrying riders today are Tesla’s own, carrying public riders in its Austin robotaxi fleet since September 4, 2026, and Tesla runs them. Tesla has published no terms for owners to join its network.

How much does Cybercab fleet management cost?

Few companies publish a number. As published when we checked on October 4, 2026: Autonomix, an expected $1,500 a month plus $0.35 a mile, with final pricing set when signing opens; My Autonomous Transportation Co., $2,375 per vehicle per month at launch with no per-mile charge; Oceano Mobility, an illustrative $399 a month plus 6% that it says is not a final offer; Remount, a modeled operations fee of 12% of net revenue after Tesla’s cut, plus a setup fee and 0.5% of equity a year; DockDuty, a $1,000 one-time onboarding fee per vehicle with the $450 deposit credited against it, then $475–$550 a month per stall plus 13–15% of ride revenue on the Priority schedule. What each fee covers differs, so compare what is included, not only the totals.
