Why fleets connect HiyaCar to Traknova
HiyaCar connects vehicle owners with renters and handles the booking and payment side well. What it does not do is give hosts live visibility of where their vehicles are during a rental or a reliable way to manage keyless access without fitting third-party hardware. Traknova provides the tracking and access layer that serious HiyaCar hosts and fleet operators need.
What you get
Live tracking during rentals
See exactly where your HiyaCar-listed vehicle is at any point during an active booking. HiyaCar does not provide real-time location to hosts. Traknova does.
Keyless access management
Traknova's keyless access solution lets guests collect vehicles without a physical key handover. Manage access windows aligned with your HiyaCar booking schedule.
Zone alerts
Set a geofence for each vehicle covering the area it should stay within during a rental. Receive an instant alert if a guest takes the car outside the zone.
Full trip history
Every rental is logged with GPS route, distance, duration and speed. Your own record of each trip, independent of HiyaCar's data.
Out-of-hours alerts
Receive an alert if any vehicle moves outside its booking window. Catch early pickups, late returns and unauthorised movement.
Theft protection
Live tracking during non-booking periods and instant movement alerts make it faster to respond if a vehicle is taken without a booking.
