Your trackers already know every vehicle's mileage, fuel and whereabouts. Connect them once and Rentbee keeps that information current on every vehicle, automatically — no walking the lot with a clipboard.
How it works
Create a dedicated, read-only user in Geotab, or ask AirIQ to enable API access for one. Instructions for each are below.
An administrator goes to Settings → Integrations, picks the provider and enters the login. Rentbee does the rest.
Setup guide
What Geotab provides
Sign in to MyGeotab as an administrator
Use an account that can add users to your MyGeotab database.
Add a user just for Rentbee
Create a new user (for example rentbee@yourcompany.com) and make it a service account, so it's clear the login is for an integration rather than a person.
Give it view-only access
Set its security clearance to View Only. Rentbee only reads from Geotab, so it never needs more. Under data access, choose the groups that hold the vehicles you rent out.
Note your database, username and password
Your database name is the one you sign in to MyGeotab with; it also appears in your MyGeotab web address. Leave the server to Rentbee unless Geotab has given you a specific one.
In Rentbee, go to Settings → Integrations, choose Geotab, and enter the database, username and password. Connected more than one MyGeotab database? Add each one the same way.
Setup guide
What AirIQ provides
Ask AirIQ to enable API access
Contact AirIQ support or your account manager and ask them to enable API access for the user Rentbee will sign in as. We recommend a dedicated user rather than a staff member's own login.
Choose which vehicles it can see
Rentbee reads every company and fleet that user can see in AirIQ. To leave some vehicles out, narrow the user's access in AirIQ.
Note the username and password
Once AirIQ confirms API access is on, you're ready to connect.
In Rentbee, go to Settings → Integrations, choose AirIQ, and enter the username and password. AirIQ doesn't report fuel level, so fuel stays a figure your staff enter at check-out and return.
After you connect
Rentbee matches each tracker to a vehicle in your fleet by VIN, then by licence plate. There's nothing to link by hand.
Odometer, fuel level and location update on their own throughout the day. Need a vehicle's figures right now? Tap Sync on its page.
The vehicle list shows which vehicles carry a tracker and whether each connection is healthy. A vehicle's page shows its latest location on a map, to the staff allowed to see where vehicles are.
Rentbee links a tracker to a vehicle when their VIN or licence plate match. Check that the vehicle's VIN or plate is the same in Rentbee and in Geotab or AirIQ, then tap Sync on Settings → Integrations. New vehicles are picked up at the next sync.
Amber means the last sync didn't finish; Rentbee tries again on its own. Red means Geotab or AirIQ refused the sign-in, usually because the password changed or the user was removed. Reconnect on Settings → Integrations with the current details.
No. Rentbee only reads your vehicles' figures. For Geotab, the view-only clearance enforces this on Geotab's side too.
No. The odometer only ever moves forward, and a fuel reading only replaces your staff's entry when the tracker read it more recently. Agreements keep their own check-out and return figures.
Administrators set up integrations on Settings → Integrations. Counter staff can sync a single vehicle from its page.
Geotab and AirIQ are supported today, with more providers on the way. Tell us which one you use and we'll let you know where it stands.
