Which Cars Are Available

We’re fairly certain that any rental car company will already have a system to tell them which vehicles are available, when a customer picks up a car, when they drop it off, and where they plan on dropping it off. However, how common is it for errors to be made? Human error is, unfortunately, more common than business owners would like to believe. So, when a customer comes to pick up their rental car and the clerk comes to find that a car isn’t available, that’s not only an extremely unhappy customer, but potentially a negative review. GPS tracking devices allow business owners to determine which cars are available, which are being rented, and where they are — which brings us to our next point.

Where They Are

Yes, when customers reserve a rental car, they have the option to either drop it off at the same location, or a different location. But what happens when customers don’t bring back the car when their reservation has ended? The vehicle they are driving could be anywhere. Without GPS tracking, it will be significantly more difficult to locate the vehicle. This benefit also brings us to our next point.

Prevent Theft

The last thing a rental company owner wants to hear is that one of their vehicles is missing. The authorities will, of course, get involved, but they also have limited resources available in order to find the vehicle and the driver. Apart from damaged rental vehicles, this is one of the more costly expenses that a rental company must be prepared for. With GPS tracking solutions from Skypatrol, business owners will know in real time where the vehicle is located and even it’s condition.

Which Cars Are the Most Popular

In order to provide customers with the best service possible, rental company owners need to provide the best product possible — in this case, the vehicles themselves. With a GPS tracking system, owners can monitor data relating to which vehicles are selected most without having to dig through paperwork and reports. This will allow the company to order vehicles that their customers want, allowing for fewer vehicles to sit in the lot unused.
