After a few days, you notice that the fuel consumption  is more than what you expected. When you question the driver, he says that it is because of some  unexpected traffic jams.

Is the driver telling the truth or is he misusing the car to do his personal work? By using GPS tracking you can find out where your car is at any given time and where it has been.

Emergency alerts can be sent by email or text alerts.
