Automatic return
The odometer is captured automatically, fuel/charge level is documented (automatically on CAN-capable vehicles). Fewer reading errors, faster billing.
Handover / returnCar rental
Rent it out, hand it over, take it back — documented automatically.
GPS telematics built for the rental business: the rental agreement lives on the vehicle, returns are detected automatically at the station, mileage and fuel are settled on verified data, and theft protection includes jamming detection — GDPR-compliant, servers in Germany.

More than tracking
Tracker reception alone is not the product
The difference is the rental-specific workflow: a rental agreement is tied to a vehicle, the handover is captured as a snapshot, the return is detected automatically and compared to the handover. Raw data becomes a clean, ready-to-bill process — on the same platform where you already see your vehicles.
Value for rental businesses
What telematics does for car rental
Eight areas where the per-vehicle investment pays off directly — from return to recovery.
Maintenance planning
Service intervals, warnings and mileage limits are monitored — due by date or odometer, with timely reminders per vehicle.
km & dateFleet retirement & sale
Vehicles are replaced in time before a defined mileage is exceeded — preserve residual value instead of giving away kilometres.
MileageTheft & misappropriation
Locate and recover the vehicle live in case of suspicion — with alerts for power loss, shock and jamming.
Live trackingArea monitoring
Alerts when leaving permitted countries or areas and when entering defined risk zones — configured per rental agreement.
GeofenceClaims handling
Sensor and event data help pinpoint the time of an accident and possible damage — with a damage report, photos and parties involved.
EvidenceFleet organisation
Location, condition and availability of all vehicles at a central glance — including rental status: free, rented, overdue, in maintenance.
OverviewCustomer service
Respond faster to an accident, breakdown or lost vehicle — location and vehicle status are available instantly.
ResponseThe rental workflow
From reservation to return report
Every step feeds the next — no double entry, no paperwork chaos. Optionally connected to your existing rental software via API or CSV.
Rental agreement & reservation
Assign the agreement to a vehicle, set the planned pickup and return time, define the mileage allowance and permitted countries.
Handover snapshot
Capture odometer, fuel/charge level and location at handover — including photos and an equipment checklist.
Automatic return detection
When the vehicle enters the station, the return is detected automatically (station geofence) and a return snapshot is prepared.
Comparison & check suggestions
Return versus handover: extra kilometres and missing fuel are proposed as check items, late returns are flagged.
Countries & rental areas
Store permitted countries and custom rental areas — a violation triggers an immediate alert by email and push.
Return report & export
A clear PDF/email return report with a handover-return comparison — plus API/CSV connection to your rental software.
Security & alerts
Detect tampering before the vehicle disappears
With Teltonika trackers, active interference attempts are detected too. Every alert reaches you in real time — by email and push notification.
Network jamming detection
Detects GSM jammers that thieves use to suppress tracking. Set with high priority in the device configuration.
High priorityGNSS jamming detection
Detects GPS jammers that drown out the satellite signal. Anomalies are reported instead of failing silently.
High priorityPower loss / unplug
If the tracker is disconnected from the vehicle power, the system raises an immediate alert.
Crash & shock alert
Impacts and shocks while parked are detected — useful as evidence for damage and accidents.
Towing detection
Movement without ignition on indicates towing — that too triggers an alert.
Geofence & risk zones
If the vehicle leaves the permitted area or enters a risk zone, an alert is raised immediately.
Which alerts a vehicle supports depends on the tracker model. Teltonika devices recommended for rental include network and GNSS jamming detection — enabled per model in the portal.
Operations & data protection
Cleanly organised, cleanly documented
Roles & permissions
Separate views for management, station and the claims department.
API or CSV integration
Connect to existing rental software — agreements and returns without double entry.

Every change and every access is logged and traceable.
