GPS module guide

GPS modules that work well with Rentolino.

Rentolino hosts the tracking connection for you. Your rental object only needs a compatible GPS module and its unique device ID or IMEI.

What you needA compatible GPS tracker

Choose a hardware tracker with a supported tracking protocol, a stable power source, and a mobile data connection.

What you provideDevice ID, SIM, and installation details

Save the tracker ID in Rentolino. Rentolino handles the hosted tracking connection behind the scenes.

Requirements

What a GPS module should support

Unique device ID / IMEI

Every tracker must have a stable unique ID. This is the value saved on the rental object in Rentolino.

Supported tracking protocol

Choose a well-known model family such as Teltonika, GT06, Queclink, Meitrack, or Ruptela so the device can be connected reliably.

Data SIM card

Hardware trackers need a SIM with mobile data. Disable the PIN and make sure the SIM works in the country where the rental object is used.

Reliable power

For vehicles, prefer a wired tracker with backup battery. For trailers, boats, or equipment, use a battery tracker with enough runtime.

Clean installation

Install the tracker where it has power and GPS reception, but is protected from water, vibration, and accidental removal.

Simple handover

Keep the IMEI, SIM number, and model name together. That makes support and replacement much easier later.
