This document describes how to delete a trip. It assumes you have set up Fleet Engine. See Set up Fleet Engine .
Trip deletion basics
Your system may use Fleet Engine to delete a trip in the following situations:
- To perform cleanup operations while testing Fleet Engine APIs.
- To immediately delete a Trip that is no longer required.
To delete a trip, send a request using either gRPC or REST.
Use the appropriate credentials for the service account of your project as described in Fleet Engine: Service account roles .

Handle errors
When deleting a trip, you might encounter a FAILED_PRECONDITION
error,
in which case the trip is active and assigned to a vehicle.
To proceed with the deletion, call UpdateTrip
and update the trip_status
to COMPLETE
/ CANCELED
.
