TREVO Track (GPS Tracker)
Here’s What You Need to Know About Using Airtag as Car GPS Trackers
Can an Apple Airtag serve as a reliable GPS tracker for your car?
The answer is no. Airtags are designed for short-range item tracking and lack the accuracy and real-time functionality required for vehicle tracking.
To ensure your car is fully protected, it’s essential to equip it with a satellite GPS tracker. In the rare event you need to locate your car, a dedicated GPS device offers the accuracy and dependability that Airtag can’t provide.
Here are some GPS tracker options to consider:
Portable GPS Tracker: Easy to install and flexible, a portable tracker offers reliable tracking without permanent wiring.
Wired GPS Tracker: For consistent power and stability, a wired GPS tracker provides robust, continuous tracking.
TREVO Track Subscription: For TREVO Hosts, our subscription-based GPS service delivers seamless tracking and peace of mind on every trip.
Secure your car with a GPS tracker that meets your needs, so you’re prepared for any situation.
Unlike sharing houses, cars move, and we want to know where it is when Guests need our help, we have TREVO Track where Hosts can opt-in for high-accuracy location tracking. It will be as if your car has never left.
Update 30 August 2022: It is compulsory for all listed vehicles on TREVO to be equipped with a GPS device from 1 October 2022. Hosts can opt for their own device OR opt for a TREVO Track device.
How can I increase the protection of my car when hosting on TREVO?
