How does a Hertz car rentals manage his cars? Here is the example.
Pain point: Car Rentals companies need a way to properly manage their fleets maintenance, management and locations for vehicle recovery operations. These are managed by manual processes in the past.

Achievement: Hertz Car Rentals has been able to reduce their insurance premiums, manage vehicle maintenance, and recover lost or stolen vehicles that has helped them save great operation costs every year.
Managing a car rental fleet efficiently is no small task. From vehicle maintenance to location tracking and recovery operations, manual processes in the past often caused delays, inefficiencies, and unnecessary costs.
Car rental companies like Hertz face multiple operational challenges:
Difficulty in monitoring vehicle locations in real-time.
Inefficient management of scheduled maintenance and service checks.
Risk of lost or stolen vehicles impacting both revenue and insurance premiums.
Without a reliable tracking system, these issues often lead to operational losses and customer dissatisfaction.
To address these challenges, Hertz deployed the TLW2-12BL hardwired GPS tracker paired with a wired relay. This device supports 4G LTE-M connectivity with fallback to 2G, ensuring continuous real-time tracking, even in areas with limited network coverage.
Key features that made the solution effective:
Real-time location monitoring – enabling quick recovery of misplaced or stolen vehicles.
Driver and ignition relay integration – ensures authorized use and prevents unauthorized operations.
Vehicle maintenance tracking – provides insights into service intervals and reduces downtime.
Since implementing TLW2-12BL, Hertz has realized significant operational improvements:
Reduced insurance premiums due to enhanced monitoring and security of vehicles.
Efficient fleet maintenance through automated reminders and usage tracking.
Quick vehicle recovery – minimizing losses from theft or unauthorized usage.
Lower operational costs – saving considerable amounts annually by reducing downtime and optimizing fleet utilization.
The integration of robust GPS tracking technology with relay functionality allows Hertz to manage its fleet efficiently, providing both financial and operational benefits while improving customer satisfaction.
