Rental protection & live GPS tracking
What's covered under Rental Cover and GWS commercial coverage, and how live GPS tracking works via Smartcar.
Overview
Every trip is backed by rental protection through Rental Cover, plus additional commercial-grade coverage through GWS Insurance sitting behind every vehicle in your fleet. Live GPS tracking is included through Smartcar, showing you exactly where a vehicle is in real time.
None of this requires activation on a per-trip basis, it's part of your subscription across the board.

Best practices
- Make GPS tracking part of your standard process for higher-risk trips, a new guest, a long-distance trip, or a high-value vehicle.
- Understand your coverage details ahead of time, not in the middle of a claim.
Things to keep in mind
- Coverage and GPS tracking are included in your subscription, there's no per-trip charge or separate opt-in.
- GPS accuracy and update frequency depend on the connected vehicle's own hardware and Smartcar compatibility.
What's automated
- Every booking is automatically backed by rental protection and commercial-grade coverage, with nothing to toggle on per trip.
