Lock, Unlock, and Log Every Handoff
App-based lock and unlock, digital key handoffs, and full access logs, no key cabinet required.
Shared Fleets
Vehicles get used, returned, and accounted for, with a record of every access.
Drivers unlock assigned vehicles from their phone.
Access starts and ends with the booking, automatically.
Who opened what, when, on the record.
No key handoffs between shifts or rentals.
What Changes
Nothing physical to lose, copy, or forget in a pocket.
Easy access means shared vehicles actually get shared.
Pull a driver's access the moment a booking ends or a role changes, with no physical key to chase down.
Three Ways Into The Vehicle
Geotab Keyless opens the same vehicle three ways, and most fleets end up using all three.
Offline-first by design: the digital key works in a parking garage or a dead zone, no signal required at the vehicle.
For crews who should not need a personal phone to start a shift, a high-security NFC tag on a lanyard taps the windshield reader and the doors open. Purpose-built secure credentials, not ordinary driver-ID fobs.
Dispatch can unlock, lock, enable, or disable the starter over the data network from MyGeotab. Wrong vehicle returned to the wrong lot? Fixed from a desk.
It is the backbone of keyless operations for car rental and municipal motor pools alike.
On The Record
Who opened which vehicle, when, and on which credential, logged against the booking.
Where The Key Actually Goes
The vehicle's own OEM key rides inside a secured IOX device wired to the GO9. Geotab engineers Keyless toward roughly 99.9% access reliability (a design goal, not an SLA); after an unlock, about 10 minutes to press start or re-tap.
IOX-Keyless embeds the fob and is what we specify for municipal motor pools. IOX-Keybox keeps the original key recoverable, commercial fleets only, not offered to North American public sector. We match the unit to your vehicle list before ordering.
Keyless Lite is a no-additional-fee, Bluetooth-only add-in inside Geotab Drive: on-demand lock and unlock for equipped vehicles, no reservation system required. It is the honest way to prove keyless works for your crews before you invest in full booking integration.
When you outgrow it, reservation-based sharing comes via integrated Marketplace partners, which is how most production Keyless fleets run.
A closer look
Shared vehicles work when access is digital: granted remotely, logged completely, revoked instantly.
Questions
Digital keys and controlled vehicle access for shared vehicles and motor pools, managed from the platform.
Rental, car-share, municipal motor pools, and any operation sharing vehicles across many drivers.
Yes. Access events tie to trips, so you know who had the vehicle and when.
The NFC tap card is the standard backup, and dispatch can unlock the vehicle remotely from MyGeotab. Three access paths exist precisely so no single dead battery strands a crew.
Yes. Phone access runs over Bluetooth and is offline-first, so underground garages and rural yards are not a problem. Remote commands from dispatch do require the vehicle's data connection.
Yes. Start with Keyless Lite, covered above, and add reservation software once the pilot proves it.
