GPS Tracking for Car Rental Companies and Dealerships
GPS tracking for car rental companies and dealerships is today an indispensable tool for managing a vehicle fleet safely, efficiently and profitably. Whether a small dealership with a few demonstration vehicles or a large rental fleet – a GPS tracking system protects your vehicles, optimises your processes and saves time and money from day one.
Why GPS Tracking for Rental Companies and Dealerships?
Rental companies and dealerships face particular challenges: vehicles are often with customers for extended periods, parked unattended on outdoor lots or used for test drives. Without seamless tracking, it is difficult to know where a vehicle is, how it is being used and whether it is still within the designated area.
The GPS tracking system from Jumbo Ortung provides complete transparency – with a position update every 2 seconds, across Europe and around the clock.
Concealed Installation – Immediate Monitoring
The tracking device is installed out of sight in the vehicle and powered directly via the on-board electrical system. It is invisible to customers and unauthorised persons, providing maximum protection. If powering the device via the vehicle is not possible – for example with parked construction machinery or trailers – an alternative device with its own power supply is available.

Real-Time Tracking and Route Recording
All vehicles are visible live on a single map. Position is updated every 2 seconds and all routes are stored in full. This enables precise tracking of every test drive, every rental period and every vehicle movement.
Geofencing and Theft Protection
An individual radius or zone can be defined for each vehicle. If the vehicle leaves this area, you receive an instant notification by SMS and email. This is particularly valuable for test drives within defined areas and for protecting vehicles against theft on company premises or public car parks.
