Business name, a clear statement of service, a large readable phone number, and ideally a website or simple search term — in that order of visual priority. Many wraps over-prioritize logo and design at the expense of the information that actually drives action.
Vehicle wraps are often designed primarily as branding — making the vehicle look professional and consistent with other marketing materials — which is a reasonable goal, but branding and lead generation aren't the same objective, and a wrap optimized purely for branding can underperform on generating actual contact.
The information hierarchy that drives calls: what you do should be immediately clear (not just a clever name that requires explanation), the phone number should be the most prominent piece of text on the vehicle — larger than the logo, in most cases — and a website or simple instruction ("search [Business Name] for reviews") gives an alternative path for people who'd rather look you up than call immediately.
This doesn't mean the wrap can't look professional or be well-designed — it means the design should serve the goal of generating contact, not just look good. A wrap that looks impressive but whose phone number can't be read from a passing car is, from a lead-generation standpoint, underperforming regardless of how it looks parked.

Yes — the same principle (is the most important information readable at the distance and speed it'll actually be viewed) applies to any signage.
Vehicle and physical signage evaluation is part of the broader customer-facing asset evaluation, alongside digital assets like website and Google profile.
