Installations for company and lease fleets

Carro Automotive handles installations for company and lease fleets: GPS trackers, dashcams and CarPlay in company and lease cars. For fleet managers and leasing companies, vehicles are scheduled in blocks at the workshop at Stavorenweg 4 in Gouda, the Netherlands. Most installations take 1–3 hours, with a 2-year warranty on product and installation.

Challenges

Challenges

  1. 01

    Keeping downtime to a minimum

    A company car in the workshop is a car off the road. Installations are therefore scheduled in blocks, so part of the fleet stays available at all times. Most installations take 1–3 hours.

  2. 02

    One approach for all makes

    Fleets rarely consist of a single make or model. What is technically possible is checked for each vehicle in advance. You know in advance which features are possible in each car, and by which route.

  3. 03

    Records for every vehicle

    For fleet administration, and when a lease car is returned, you need to know what is fitted in which car. After handover you receive a per-vehicle overview of what was installed.

  4. 04

    Driver privacy

    A tracker in a car driven by an employee records personal data. That calls for clear agreements with drivers before the tracker goes live. The knowledge base article on GPS tracking and the GDPR lists the points to consider.

01

Installations for company fleets: what is possible

Carro Automotive fits three types of systems in fleet vehicles. A GPS tracker shows the live location, trip history and alerts for every vehicle in a single app. A dashcam records what happens in front of and behind the car, including while it is parked.

With Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, drivers navigate and make calls hands-free through the car's own screen. On many Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda and Audi models this is a software activation on the original screen. Other cars get a module or a new screen.

  • GPS tracker: hidden and wired to the vehicle battery
  • Dashcam: 4K options, front and rear, with parking mode
  • CarPlay: software activation, a module behind the original screen, or a new screen
  • Wiring concealed out of sight; the original system stays intact

02

How a fleet project works

It starts with an intake: how many vehicles, which makes and models, and what needs to be fitted. Based on that, you receive a proposal with planning and pricing. Volume pricing is available on request.

Vehicles come to the workshop at Stavorenweg 4 in Gouda in blocks, 7 days a week by appointment. For larger numbers, the work can also take place on your premises by arrangement.

Every system is tested at handover. You receive a per-vehicle overview of what was installed, and a 2-year warranty applies to product and installation.

03

Lease cars: the original stays intact

With lease cars, what matters is that the car is returned in good condition. Wiring is concealed and the original system stays intact. A CarPlay module can be removed later without leaving any trace.

A CarPlay software activation can be reversed to the original state. Check with the leasing company in advance which modifications are allowed.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How are multiple vehicles scheduled?

In blocks, so part of the fleet stays available at all times. The proposal states what will be fitted in each vehicle and when. The workshop is open 7 days a week by appointment, so weekends can be used too.

Can Carro Automotive install at our own premises?

For larger numbers, this is possible by arrangement. As standard, installations take place at the workshop at Stavorenweg 4 in Gouda, 7 days a week by appointment. State your preference in the quote request.

Am I allowed to track the location of company cars?

Yes, under certain conditions. Once a vehicle can be linked to an employee, location data counts as personal data and the GDPR applies. You inform drivers in advance and record the purpose of tracking. The knowledge base article on GPS tracking and the GDPR explains what to look out for.

Is volume pricing available for multiple vehicles?

Yes, volume pricing is available on request. The price depends on the number of vehicles, the makes and models, and the systems you choose. Request a quote for a proposal with planning and pricing.

What warranty applies?

A 2-year warranty on product and installation. The per-vehicle overview shows what was fitted in which car. If something stops working, contact Carro Automotive.
