Choosing the right vehicle management system is essential for Turo hosts. Both Sbrigati and One Step GPS provide vehicle tracking, but they differ fundamentally in their features, installation, and security, making Sbrigati a more comprehensive solution for Turo hosts.
Plug-and-Play vs. Hardwired Solutions
One Step GPS offers a plug-and-play solution, while Sbrigati employs a more secure, hardwired installation:
- Sbrigati: Hardwired directly to the vehicle’s system, providing tamper-resistant GPS tracking, remote lock/unlock, and remote immobilization. Once installed, it becomes part of the vehicle and resists removal attempts, maintaining continuous operation.
- One Step GPS: An OBD-based plug-in device, easy to install but also easy for a guest to remove. This makes it vulnerable to tampering and completely ineffective if detached from the vehicle.
The secure installation of Sbrigati ensures that vehicle data remains accessible and under control, even with challenging guests.
Functionality: Beyond GPS Tracking
Sbrigati provides far more than just GPS tracking:
- Remote Lock/Unlock and Immobilizer: Sbrigati allows hosts to lock/unlock vehicles remotely and disable the engine if necessary, enhancing security. One Step GPS lacks these functions entirely.
- Fuel Level and Odometer Data: Both systems read fuel level and odometer data, but only Sbrigati integrates this data into a centralized dashboard for easy fleet management.
- Automated Guest Access: With Sbrigati’s Turo Auto-Sync and scheduled SMS links, guests receive automatic access without host intervention, streamlining operations and guest experience.
Reliability and Security
Sbrigati’s hardwired system provides a secure, dependable option:
- Tamper-Resistant Design: Sbrigati’s installation is concealed and protected within the vehicle, preventing tampering. By contrast, the One Step GPS device, as a visible plug-in, is easily removed by guests.
- Backup Battery: Sbrigati’s built-in backup battery maintains tracking and controls even if the main vehicle battery is disconnected. One Step GPS does not offer this backup option.
- Encrypted Commands with CloudFlare Uptime: Sbrigati is backed by CloudFlare, ensuring fast, secure command execution and minimal downtime, unlike One Step GPS, which lacks this infrastructure reliability.
