Pool vehicle

Pool vehicles are usually used by multiple employees. In most companies, it is not permitted to use a pool vehicle for private trips.

In Fleet Geo, by default pool vehicles are tracked on the live map and fleet managers can view a history of the routes driven. However, it is possible to allow drivers to deactivate tracking for private trips, if these are permitted.

In Fleet Admin, employees can book pool vehicles for specific time periods.

Company car

A company car is used exclusively by a single employee, and may be used for private trips as well as business trips. Stricter data privacy protection rules apply for company cars.

In Fleet Geo, company cars can only be tracked with the driver’s explicit permission.

In Fleet Admin, employees cannot book company cars.
