Top Benefits of a GPS Unit Include
1. Real-Time Vehicle Location
GPS makes it easy to stay on top of where your vehicle is at all times, making it ideal for:
- Busy families
- Commercial vehicles
- Shared vehicles
- Employees who take company vehicles home
- Anyone who wants added peace of mind while on vacation, etc.
2. Theft Recovery
If your vehicle is stolen, GPS tracking dramatically increases the chance of fast recovery. Edmonton sees its share of vehicle theft, and having accurate location data can make all the difference. GPS makes it harder for criminals to hide and easier for police to track, both in real-time and, should the vehicle become abandoned.
3. Trip History and Driving Reports
Want to increase your fuel efficiency and safety? GPS can help!
Drivers can review:
- Speed patterns
- Routes taken
- Driving time
- Harsh braking events
This helps improve driving habits and supports safer long-term behaviour.
Insurance-Related Benefits in Alberta
In Alberta, GPS systems don’t guarantee a discount from every insurer, but they can support insurance-related needs in real and meaningful ways:
1. Better Claim Support
If you’re ever involved in a collision, GPS data can help show:
- When the vehicle was moving
- How fast it was going
- Where the incident happened
- Evidence of sudden braking
This information can support your version of events and help resolve claims more quickly and accurately.
2. Lower Risk for Some Drivers
Some Alberta insurers may consider GPS tracking a positive risk factor, especially when paired with safe driving data. While discounts vary by provider, having a telematics-style system shows a strong commitment to responsible driving. Don’t forget to ask your provider when it’s time to renew.
3. Helps Reduce Fraud
GPS logs help protect honest drivers by reducing the risk of false claims. When you can clearly show your route, behaviour, and vehicle location, there’s less room for disputes. This can be great for parents, workers, and anyone worried about fraudulent use.
