Saturday, 2:17 a.m. A customer rented a car "for a weekend in town". The contract says the car stays in the country. You find out it crossed the border on Monday, when it comes back with 900 extra kilometres.

Or you find out right away.

What geofencing is and why every rental company needs it

Geofencing is a virtual fence on a map. You set the zones each branch's cars may drive in. When a vehicle leaves them, the system alerts you instantly.

Camasys goes beyond the zone alert. Instant alerts also cover:

impacts and accidents,
towing,
device tampering,
unauthorised movement, such as a car leaving the branch car park at night.

The numbers

After switching on geofence alerts, Avis Slovakia saw 100 % fewer unauthorised trips. Customers didn't suddenly become saints. They simply knew the system would see it.

Where geofencing saves the most money

No-travel-abroad rules. You see the breach in real time, not on the repair invoice.
Nights at the branch. A car moves at 3 a.m.? You know before it's gone.
Customer disputes. You have time-stamped location data, not one word against another.
Insurance claims. An impact alert lets you act before the damage grows.

How to start without a big investment

Set up a zone for one branch.
Turn on alerts for night movement and border crossings.
After a month, count the alerts and what they helped you solve.

Bottom line: Geofencing isn't about watching your customers. It's about knowing more about your cars than about the weekend weather. Want to see it on your own fleet? Book a Camasys demo.
