Rhino Fleet Tracking pricing and its price history
Rhino Fleet Tracking no longer publishes pricing. Its site carried an on-page rate for about a decade and removed it during 2025.
The pricing URL now redirects to a gated form at forms.rhinofleettracking.com/get-pricing headed "Get a Personalized Quote.", and rhinofleettracking.com/pricing/ returns a 404.
Checked 30 September 2026.
The last rate Rhino published itself was $21.95 per device per month plus a $25 activation fee, with no contract advertised. That is the honest anchor to walk in with.
The $16.95 figure still listed on Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice and Forbes is a 2021-era price the vendor has raised twice since. It was also never an entry rate: Rhino's own asterisk applied it to three or more devices, and Forbes reported it at twenty or more vehicles.
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 15, 2026Pricing is only one part of the evaluation. How we review software sets out what else we check beyond cost, and the fleet management categories show how pricing compares across the market.
Rhino Fleet Tracking pricing
Rhino's price history is unusually well documented, and it is the most useful thing on this page. The rate ran at $16.95 from roughly 2015 to 2021, rose to $19.95 in 2023, rose again to $21.95 across 2024 and 2025, then came off the site entirely.
Four dated points across eleven years, two increases totalling about 30%, and then withdrawal. Any source quoting $16.95 today is describing the price from two increases ago, and the aggregators are the ones doing it.
Set the last published rate against the current published market. At $21.95 per device per month plus $25 activation, Rhino's final figure sat above One Step GPS at $13.95, Quartix at $14.00 and Azuga's BasicFleet at $25, all verified 30 September 2026.
It also sat above both public procurement contracts in this category, where base tracking is $14.70 and $14.99 per vehicle per month at school-district volume. So the direction of travel was already toward the upper half of GPS fleet tracking before the number disappeared, which is context worth having in the quote conversation.
The return and refund terms are where a Rhino mistake gets expensive, and they are published. New, unused ELD hardware, units and associated cables, can be returned within 30 days with a 40% restocking fee.
There are no returns or refunds at all for Garmin displays, Android devices or associated equipment. Separately, the terms state there are no refunds of any kind for activation, shipping or monthly service charges.
A 40% restocking fee is steeper than Rastrac's 25% on devices returned new and unused, and the outright no-return position on displays and tablets has no equivalent among the vendors reviewed here.
What Rhino does offer is a genuinely short exit. No contract is required, and cancellation needs 30 days' notice to stop service and return equipment.
Compare that with Azuga's four-year default initial term, Spireon's three years per solution, Fleet Complete's 36-month default with a five percent annual escalator, or RAM Tracking's lease described in its own document as non-cancelable. A month-to-month arrangement with a 30-day notice is a low-risk commitment, provided you are not ordering hardware you might need to send back.

Price history
$16.95 (2015-2021) → $19.95 (2023) → $21.95 (2024-2025) → withdrawn
Two increases then removal. The $16.95 rate required three or more devices; it was a volume floor, not an entry price.
Pricing source: official pricing page, verified 2026-09-30. Rhino Fleet Tracking's pricing URL redirects to a gated form at forms.rhinofleettracking.com/get-pricing headed "Get a Personalized Quote.", which asks for industry, fleet size and contact details and shows no dollar amount. rhinofleettracking.com/pricing/ itself returns HTTP 404. Figures still repeated on Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice and Forbes are historical third-party numbers and are not published as Rhino's price.
The Rhino Fleet Tracking price history
Walk into the quote with the last published figure and the dates. Ask whether the rate is above or below $21.95 per device per month, and whether the $25 activation fee still applies.
A vendor that published for a decade and stopped has a number; the gated form is a sales mechanic rather than evidence that no rate exists.
Order hardware conservatively, because the return terms are unforgiving. A 40% restocking fee on new unused ELD hardware and no returns at all on Garmin displays or Android devices mean the cost of over-ordering is real.
Pilot one or two vehicles before a fleet-wide order, and run a telematics device install checklist on each vehicle type first.
Use the no-contract position properly rather than trading it away. Thirty days' notice with no term is the main thing Rhino offers over the longer-term alternatives, so if a discount is offered for a commitment, price what you would be giving up.
Keep the notice date and the device list in a contract renewal tracker and a fleet asset register so an exit stays clean.

What a Rhino Fleet Tracking quote omits
Quote against $21.95, not $16.95
The last rate Rhino published itself was $21.95 per device per month plus $25 activation, in early 2025. The $16.95 on review sites is from 2021 and has been raised twice since.
Ignore volume-floor figures
The old $16.95 applied to three or more devices by Rhino's own asterisk, and Forbes reported it at twenty or more vehicles. A single-vehicle or small-fleet buyer was never offered it.
Ask whether activation still applies
A $25 activation fee accompanied the last published rate, and the terms state activation charges are non-refundable. Confirm whether it is still charged and per what, device or account.
Treat hardware orders as final
New unused ELD hardware carries a 40% restocking fee within 30 days, and Garmin displays, Android devices and associated equipment cannot be returned at all. Pilot before committing to a fleet-wide order.
Note the no-refund position
The terms state there are no refunds of any kind for activation, shipping or monthly service charges. Time your cancellation to a billing boundary, because nothing is prorated back.
Keep the 30-day no-contract exit
No contract is required and cancellation needs 30 days' notice. That is the strongest thing on offer here, so weigh any commitment discount against the flexibility you would be selling.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
How much does Rhino Fleet Tracking cost?
It no longer publishes a rate. The pricing URL redirects to a gated form at forms.rhinofleettracking.com/get-pricing headed "Get a Personalized Quote.", which asks for industry, fleet size and contact details and shows no dollar amount. rhinofleettracking.com/pricing/ itself returns a 404. Checked 30 September 2026.
What was the last published Rhino rate?
$21.95 per device per month plus a $25 activation fee, with no contract advertised, which was the final on-page figure before Rhino removed pricing during 2025. Treat it as the best available historical anchor rather than as a current quote.
Why do review sites still show $16.95?
Because that was the price from roughly 2015 to 2021 and nobody updated it. Rhino raised it to $19.95 in 2023 and $21.95 in 2024, then withdrew pricing. The $16.95 figure on Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice and Forbes is two increases out of date.
Was $16.95 ever an entry rate?
No, and this is the part that gets dropped. Rhino's own asterisk applied it to three or more devices, and Forbes reported it at twenty or more vehicles. It was a volume floor, so a single-vehicle buyer was never going to be offered it even when it was current.
Does Rhino Fleet Tracking require a contract?
No contract is required, per its terms. Cancellation needs 30 days' notice to stop service and return equipment, and the terms state there are no refunds of any kind for activation, shipping or monthly service charges, so the last month you pay for is the last month you pay for.
Can you return Rhino hardware?
Partly, and the fee is steep. New, unused ELD hardware including units and cables can be returned within 30 days with a 40% restocking fee. There are no returns or refunds at all for Garmin displays, Android devices or associated equipment, so order those only when you are certain.
Do you pay a monthly fee for a tracker?
In commercial fleet tracking, yes: the software subscription is the product and the device is the smaller cost. The exception worth knowing is Garmin eLog at $249.99 once with no subscription, which achieves that by doing local-only log transfer with no hosted back office.
What is the best option for a small fleet on price?
This site publishes no product score, so here are the published rates instead. One Step GPS charges $13.95 per vehicle per month month-to-month and Quartix charges $14.00 with installation included, both verified 30 September 2026 and both below Rhino's last published figure.
How much does fleet tracking cost generally?
Published rates run from $13.95 to $35 per vehicle per month across the vendors that state one, verified September 2026. Two public school-bus contracts put base tracking at $14.70 and $14.99, with add-on modules roughly doubling the figure once inspections and ridership tracking are included.
