Consistent rental activity is a core requirement of this insurance.
- What to watch for: If a vehicle has no rental activity for 30 consecutive days, it is considered a significant lapse.
- Important Note: Vehicles that are unable to be rented out or are inoperable—including those undergoing repairs—must be removed from the policy.
- Why it matters: Because this insurance is for active rental fleets, a lack of rental activity may lead to the policy being canceled.
2. Set Up Your GPS Tracker
Approved Trackers help monitor essential safety data like mileage, location, and speed.

Policy Reviews
We regularly check in on policy activity to make sure everything is aligned with the insurance guidelines. If a review shows that a vehicle hasn't been rented recently, is missing its GPS device, or has exceeded the 250-mile off-rental limit, the policy will be subject to cancellation.
Frequently Asked Questions
When exactly does Period X coverage apply? Period X provides coverage specifically for the periods when your vehicle is not on a rental. Once a vehicle is on an active rental contract, Period X coverage does not apply, as the rental platform's or the renter's insurance typically takes over.
How do I know if my tracker is working? You can verify this by logging into the portal and navigating to the Vehicles tab. Under the Devices column, you will see the status of your tracker:
- Active: Your device is communicating correctly and is compliant.
- Not Active / None: Your device is not compliant. Please ensure it is linked and powered on to avoid policy issues.
Where can I see my off-rental mileage? In the portal, go to the Vehicles tab and select your specific vehicle. There, you will find your Mileage History, which breaks down your total miles into two categories:
- On a Rental: Miles driven while under a rental contract (not covered by Period X).
- Off a Rental: Miles driven while the vehicle is not on a rental (covered by Period X). Monitoring this regularly helps ensure you stay under the 250-mile monthly limit for maintenance and repairs.
What if my vehicle is in the shop for repairs? While the 250-mile allowance covers the drive to a shop, any vehicle that becomes inoperable or unable to be rented for an extended period must be removed from the policy. Period X insurance is exclusively for vehicles available for immediate rent.
