Short answer: For chauffeur fleets under 50 vehicles, driver-app GPS inside your dispatch platform is the right tracking method: it shows vehicle position and status during a job, powers passenger tracking links and ETAs, and needs no hardware. Telematics devices are only necessary for contracts that require certified logs or driver-behaviour scoring. As of September 2026 Limozoft includes live job tracking and passenger tracking links at every tier, at a one-time $399–$1,299 build plus $10–$40/month.

Driver-app GPS or telematics hardware?

They answer different questions. The app answers 'where is this job right now and will it be late?'. Hardware answers 'what did this vehicle do all week, provably?'.

Driver-app GPS — no install cost, tied to the job, updates the passenger and the board. Stops when the app is closed.
Telematics hardware — always on, tamper-resistant logs, harsh-braking and idling data. Per-vehicle hardware and subscription cost.

What does good tracking give you operationally?

Tracking is only worth paying for if it changes a decision or removes a phone call.

Passenger tracking link, so 'where is my car?' stops reaching the office.
Late-running warning before the pickup time, not after it.
Proof of arrival time for disputed waiting-time charges.
Actual versus quoted duration, which fixes your rate card over time.

What are the privacy and driver-relations limits?

Track jobs, not people. Location collection should start when a driver accepts a job and stop when it is complete, drivers should be told in writing what is recorded, and retention should be limited to what you need for disputes and compliance. In the UK and EU this is not optional — it is the difference between lawful monitoring and a complaint.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track my chauffeurs without buying hardware?+

Yes. The chauffeur app reports position and job status while a job is active, which covers dispatch, passenger tracking and ETA warnings for most fleets under 50 vehicles.

Can passengers see where their chauffeur is?+

Yes, through a tracking link sent with the confirmation. It shows the assigned vehicle's progress once the chauffeur is on route.

Is tracking chauffeurs legal?+

Monitoring during working time is generally lawful when drivers are informed and the data is limited to a business purpose. Track jobs rather than people, document it in your driver agreement, and set a retention limit.
