Build trust with a privacy-first telematics solution

Smartcar retrieves vehicle data with a consent-driven system that requires explicit user permissions. Give drivers complete data transparency before they opt in so they can make an informed decision.

Increase opt-in rates with instant vehicle onboarding

Smartcar’s solution takes just 3-clicks from nearly any device whether it’s a webpage in any modern browser or even a native mobile app.

There’s no need to install devices in your vehicle, keep battery-draining apps running on your phone, or requirements to make drivers manually submit photos of your instrument cluster repeatedly.

Ensure mileage accuracy with a tamper-resistant solution

Prevent inaccurate mileage readings by retrieving accurate odometer readings directly from a vehicle’s OEM-powered telematics system. Eliminate the risk of consumers unplugging OBD-II devices, turning off their phones, putting phones on airplane mode, or uninstalling an app to skirt reporting requirements.

    Scale your program with secure, cost-effective software

    Smartcar’s telematics solution is entirely software-based and API-driven. Increase program enrollment by removing dependency on smartphones, aftermarket hardware, beacons, or any other devices. 


    Building and maintaining a vehicle telematics data infrastructure requires a lot of time, developer resources, and budget.

    It could take months or even years to launch a road usage charge program if connected car integrations are built one brand at a time. 

    On the other hand, Smartcar works out of the box on over 90 million cars in the United States with a single integration

    What our customers say

    Program participants love how easily they can connect their cars without needing to worry about an OBD device.

    Charlie Mitchell

    Director of ITS Projects

    We’re excited about the early feedback from drivers [on our Smartcar-powered feature]. Drivers who’ve used Battery-Aware Matching during initial testing tell us they’re less likely to run out of battery and less likely to cancel rides because they’re too long.
