Rhino Fleet Tracking alternatives compared
Rajat Gupta runs FleetOpsClub and writes its software reviews, comparisons and pricing pages. Every tool on the site is assessed against the vendor's own published documentation and pricing, and each pricing figure carries the date it was last verified so readers can judge how current it is. Where a vendor does not publish a price, the page says so rather than estimating one.
Last reviewed Aug 20, 2026One Step GPS is the strongest Rhino Fleet Tracking alternative for small fleets, because it publishes $13.95 per vehicle per month month to month and Rhino withdrew its own published rate during 2025. Buyers searching for Rhino Fleet Tracking alternatives are usually looking for the published, no-contract price that used to be its whole proposition.
Rhino carried an on-page rate for about a decade and removed it: its pricing URL now redirects to a gated quote form asking for industry, fleet size and contact details, with no dollar amount shown, checked 30 September 2026. The last rate Rhino published itself was $21.95 per device per month plus a $25 activation fee.
One Step GPS, GPS Trackit and ClearPathGPS are the three products buyers put next to it.
Why buyers look for Rhino Fleet Tracking alternatives
The reason buyers look elsewhere is that the price disappeared. Rhino published an on-page rate for about a decade and removed it during 2025; the pricing URL now redirects to a gated form headed as a personalised quote request, and the pricing path itself returns an error. For a vendor whose appeal was a cheap published rate and no contract, half that appeal is gone.
Best Rhino Fleet Tracking alternative
One Step GPS is the best Rhino Fleet Tracking alternative for small fleets, publishing $13.95 per vehicle per month month to month with a 100-day money-back guarantee. GPS Trackit offers a free trial on a quote. ClearPathGPS has also withdrawn its plan prices, so it no longer solves the disclosure problem.
One Step GPS
Small fleets that want the lowest published rate with no contract, and a guarantee window long enough to catch a seasonal coverage problem.
GPS Trackit
Small and mid-sized fleets prepared to work through a quote provided they can test coverage on their own vehicles first.
ClearPathGPS
Small fleets that want tracking and a camera from one vendor and will accept a quote for the tracking element.
How we evaluated these alternatives
This page is designed to help buyers compare Rhino Fleet Tracking against real alternatives before demos, pricing calls, or rollout assumptions push the decision too far in one direction.
- We focus on the practical reasons teams move away from Rhino Fleet Tracking, including pricing fit, deployment effort, and platform scope.
- We compare each alternative by what gets easier, what it costs to run, and where Rhino Fleet Tracking may still be the better fit.
- The goal is to make the tradeoffs easier to see before the buying process narrows around a single vendor story.
Why fleets leave Rhino
The price history is worth stating plainly, because it is the clearest record of drift in this category: $16.95 per device per month from 2015 to 2021, $19.95 in 2023, $21.95 through 2024 and 2025, then withdrawn. The $16.95 figure still listed on Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice and in Forbes roundups is five years out of date, which makes every comparison repeating it misleading.
The third trigger is hardware returns. A 40% restocking fee applies to new, unused ELD hardware returned within 30 days, and there are no returns or refunds at all for Garmin displays, Android devices or associated equipment.
A fleet that over-orders tablets during a rollout has no route back, which argues for ordering the minimum viable quantity first.
The fourth is scope. Rhino is a tracking and ELD reseller rather than a platform, so there is no camera line, no maintenance system and no site visibility.
Fleets whose requirement grows end up in the fleet management software category rather than upgrading within Rhino.
Before taking a quote, note what Rhino still gets right: no contract is required, with 30 days' notice to stop service and return equipment. That is genuinely better than most of this category, and it means the comparison should be against One Step GPS, which is also month to month, rather than against a vendor on a three-year term.
A telematics exception report is the cheapest way to work out which product's reporting you need.
How to compare Rhino alternatives
Compare against the vendors that still publish, because two of Rhino's closest peers have now withdrawn their rates. One Step GPS publishes $13.95 per vehicle per month and $20.95 with hours-of-service logging.
Quartix publishes $14.00 and $15.00 with installation included. Linxup publishes $25 and $30.
All verified 30 September 2026.
Hold Rhino's last published rate of $21.95 plus $25 activation up as the benchmark for your own quote. If the number you are given is materially above it, ask what changed, because the vendor's own historical ladder is public and moved in roughly $2 steps.
A quote well above its last published rate deserves an explanation rather than acceptance.
Then compare the term properly, since this is Rhino's strength. No contract is required, with 30 days' notice to stop service and return equipment.
One Step GPS is month to month by default. ClearPathGPS advertises no long-term contract while its agreement auto-renews on 60 days' notice.
GPS Trackit advertises the same while requiring 30 days before expiry of any renewal term.
Read the hardware clauses, which differ in kind rather than degree. Rhino charges a 40% restocking fee on returned new ELD hardware and refuses returns on Garmin displays and Android devices.
One Step GPS loans hardware with a $20 per device activation fee and charges $95 per tracker or $190 per dash camera beyond 30 days. Quartix rents units and keeps billing until they come back in working order.
Finally, prefer a guarantee you can use over a trial you cannot. One Step GPS offers a 100-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee with return shipping prepaid by the vendor, which is long enough to see a seasonal coverage problem.
GPS Trackit advertises a free trial. Rhino publishes no trial, so test with the smallest order you can place.
Compare total cost, not the entry rate
Check how per-vehicle pricing, contract length, hardware, and add-ons change the total cost as the fleet grows.
Match the rollout to your team's capacity
Look at hardware requirements, setup effort, implementation support, and how much operational lift the platform needs after go-live.
Check the platform covers the work you need
Compare whether cameras, ELD, maintenance, analytics, or integrations are built in or left to extra tools and add-ons.
Best Rhino Fleet Tracking alternatives
These three are the products buyers put next to Rhino most often. Only one of them publishes a rate today, which is the whole reason this comparison is short. Every pick follows the standards in how we review software and the selection criteria in how rankings work.
| Alternative | Pricing model | Deployment | Free trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Step GPS | ~$13.95/vehicle/mo (no contract) | Not published | No |
| GPS Trackit | Per vehicle | Cloud | Yes |
| ClearPathGPS | Quote-led per vehicle; no long-term contract advertised | Not published | Yes |
One Step GPS
Best published no-contract rate
Quick take
One Step GPS publishes $13.95 per vehicle per month for tracking and $20.95 with hours-of-service logging, month to month with no contract and a 100-day money-back guarantee.
Who this fits
Small fleets that want the lowest published rate with no contract, and a guarantee window long enough to catch a seasonal coverage problem.
Pricing
GPS tracking $13.95 per vehicle per month; GPS tracking plus ELD $20.95 per vehicle per month. Both month to month with no contract and no device cost. A one-time activation fee of $20 per GPS or ELD device applies, plus first and last month's subscription. Verified 30 September 2026.
Contract
No minimum term; month to month by default unless an order form specifies otherwise. A 100-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee applies rather than a trial, with return shipping prepaid by the vendor.
Hardware
Loaned rather than sold, with no device cost. $95 per GPS tracker and $190 per dash camera if not returned within 30 days of notifying support of intent to cancel, or if returned damaged.
Best fit
Best published no-contract rate
Why teams switch
It is what Rhino used to be, at a lower price. Tracking is $13.95 per vehicle per month and tracking plus ELD is $20.95, both month to month with no contract and no device cost, verified 30 September 2026. Against Rhino's last published $21.95 plus $25 activation, a 30-vehicle fleet saves roughly $2,900 a year.
What you gain with One Step GPS
One Step GPS wins on publishing its rate, on genuine month-to-month terms with no notice period, on a 100-day money-back guarantee with prepaid return shipping, and on a published ELD rate.
What One Step GPS covers
One Step GPS sells per-vehicle tracking and an hours-of-service option on published rates, month to month with no contract. Hardware is loaned rather than sold, which is why it has to be returned when you cancel.
Where Rhino Fleet Tracking still has an edge
Rhino has a long history reselling Garmin display hardware for in-cab use, which suits fleets already standardised on those devices. One Step GPS loans its own hardware, so a fleet with existing kit has less flexibility.
GPS Trackit
Best trial among quoted vendors
Quick take
GPS Trackit prices per vehicle on a quote but advertises a free trial and no long-term contract, which makes it the most testable quote-based option at this end of the market.
Who this fits
Small and mid-sized fleets prepared to work through a quote provided they can test coverage on their own vehicles first.
Pricing
No published plan ladder. Pricing is per vehicle and quote-based, with fleet size, device choice and term length as the stated cost drivers, checked 30 September 2026. A free trial is advertised, but confirm the trial length and whether hardware is included.
Contract
No long-term contract advertised, but the terms auto-renew and require written notice no less than 30 days before the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term. Those terms are published on zonar.com rather than the GPS Trackit site.
Hardware
Included in the subscription, but products must be returned at your expense within 45 days after the end of the term, or you pay the company's then-current catalogue prices for them.
Best fit
Best trial among quoted vendors
Why teams switch
If the quote is unavoidable, choose the one you can test. GPS Trackit advertises a free trial, which lets you prove coverage and reporting on your own vehicles before the commercial conversation. It also gives a 45-day hardware return window rather than the 30 days Rhino and One Step GPS allow.
What you gain with GPS Trackit
GPS Trackit wins on trialability among quote-based vendors, on a longer hardware return window, and on covering driver behaviour monitoring as standard rather than as an upgrade.
What GPS Trackit covers
GPS Trackit sells per-vehicle tracking with driver behaviour monitoring to small and mid-sized fleets, with flexible hardware options and no advertised long-term contract.
Where Rhino Fleet Tracking still has an edge
Rhino requires no contract at all and gives 30 days' notice to stop service, where GPS Trackit's terms auto-renew and require written notice before the end of any term. Neither publishes a price, so Rhino's simpler exit is the differentiator.
ClearPathGPS
Same disclosure problem as Rhino
Quick take
ClearPathGPS withdrew its plan prices in August 2026 and now lists Standard and Pro as contact us for pricing, so it no longer answers the disclosure problem that brought you here.
Who this fits
Small fleets that want tracking and a camera from one vendor and will accept a quote for the tracking element.
Pricing
Plan prices withdrawn. As of 27 August 2026 the pricing page lists Standard and Pro as contact us for pricing, stating only that plans start at competitive per-vehicle monthly rates. The one published figure is a $30 per month dash cam add-on. Earlier 2026 figures of $13.99 and $29.99 are no longer on the page.
Contract
Advertises no long-term contract, but the master service agreement auto-renews and requires 60 days' written notice before the end of the then-current subscription term, with 30 days' notice to terminate without cause and remaining fees still owed. A 30-day guarantee is referenced on the site.
Hardware
No upfront hardware cost on qualifying plans, but rented devices not returned within 30 days of termination are billed at full replacement value.
Best fit
Same disclosure problem as Rhino
Why teams switch
It belongs on the list because it has historically competed with Rhino for the same buyer, and it now has a camera line Rhino does not: a $30 per month dash cam add-on is the one figure still published. For a fleet wanting tracking and a camera from one small-fleet vendor, that is a reason to ask.
What you gain with ClearPathGPS
ClearPathGPS wins on having a published dash cam add-on price and a fuller Pro tier than Rhino's tracking-and-ELD focus.
What ClearPathGPS covers
ClearPathGPS sells small-fleet tracking with Standard and Pro tiers and a dash cam add-on, positioned on no long-term contract and a 30-day guarantee.
Where Rhino Fleet Tracking still has an edge
Neither solves the problem you came here with. ClearPathGPS withdrew its plan prices on 27 August 2026 and its agreement auto-renews on 60 days' notice, where Rhino requires no contract and 30 days' notice to stop service. On terms, Rhino is the better of the two.
Of the Rhino Fleet Tracking alternatives here, start with One Step GPS: $13.95 per vehicle per month, month to month, with a 100-day money-back guarantee is the closest match to what Rhino used to publish, and about $8 a month cheaper than its last rate. Take GPS Trackit if you want a free trial and will accept a quote.
ClearPathGPS has withdrawn its prices too, so it does not fix the problem. If you stay with Rhino, hold the quote against its own last published $21.95 plus $25 activation, order the minimum hardware quantity given the 40% restocking fee, and check the Rhino pricing page for the full price history.
Before the shortlist is final, the fleet management categories show where each alternative sits in the market, and the fleet calculators put a cost against each one before you request a quote.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
Rhino no longer publishes a price. Its pricing URL redirects to a gated quote form asking for industry, fleet size and contact details, with no dollar amount shown, and the pricing path itself returns an error. Checked 30 September 2026.
No, and it has not been for years. Rhino's own published rate moved from $16.95 between 2015 and 2021 to $19.95 in 2023 and $21.95 in 2024 and 2025, before being withdrawn. The $16.95 figure still listed on review sites and in roundups is historical third-party data.
$21.95 per device per month plus a $25 activation fee, with no contract required, which is the last rate Rhino published itself. Use it as context for a quote rather than as a current price, because the vendor withdrew it during 2025 and may quote differently now.
One Step GPS at $13.95 per vehicle per month, month to month with no contract, verified 30 September 2026. That is $8 a month cheaper than Rhino's last published rate and carries no activation fee, though there is a $20 per device activation charge.
No contract is required, per its terms of use, with 30 days' notice to stop service and return equipment. That no-contract position is genuine and remains the strongest thing Rhino offers now that the rate is gone, so weigh it against One Step GPS, which is also month to month.
Partly. A 40% restocking fee applies to new, unused ELD hardware returned within 30 days, and there are no returns or refunds at all for Garmin displays, Android devices or associated equipment, per Rhino's terms of use. Order the smallest viable quantity first.
Yes, for anything that reports live. The fee covers the cellular connection and the platform, which is why published rates in this category sit between about $14 and $25 per vehicle per month. Devices sold as subscription-free do not report live location.
Tracking vehicles your business owns is generally lawful in the United States, and the practical requirement is a written vehicle-use policy that drivers acknowledge. Rules differ by state and by whether personal use is permitted. A company vehicle use policy is the document that settles it internally.
Below about 25 vehicles, choose on published price and term rather than features, because core tracking is comparable. One Step GPS at $13.95 month to month and Quartix at $14.00 with installation included are the two published options worth starting from.
