What does Targa Telematics focus on?
Targa Telematics is a European connected-vehicle and mobility technology provider whose platform covers vehicle telematics, car sharing, and rental fleet management for corporate, leasing, and mobility operators, with a strong base across mainland Europe and a growing UK and international presence.
For a UK SME running its own delivery, trades, or service vehicles, a platform built to serve pan-European rental and mobility operators is often more than the business needs, and typically means a custom-scoped implementation rather than a self-serve sign-up. It usually also leaves job dispatch, digital walkaround checks, and DVSA compliance reporting to be handled with separate tools.
FleetGS combines live GPS tracking with job dispatch, compliance, and driver management in one self-serve platform, with app-only setup and transparent pricing published openly rather than confirmed by quote.
UK compliance context

Why UK fleets choose FleetGS over Targa Telematics
Built for SME fleets, not car sharing and rental
Targa Telematics' platform spans fleet telematics, car sharing, and rental mobility. FleetGS is purpose-built for the day-to-day reality of a 10 to 250-vehicle UK operator, without paying for functionality aimed at a different kind of business.
Transparent pricing, published openly
Enterprise connected-mobility pricing typically requires a custom quote. FleetGS publishes flat-rate GBP plans openly, so a fleet manager can see the real cost before ever speaking to a salesperson.
No hardware fitting required to get started
Enterprise telematics platforms need dedicated hardware and often an implementation project. FleetGS's app-only tracking gets a fleet live within 48 hours using the driver's own smartphone, with hardware as an optional add-on.
UK compliance built in from day one
FleetGS's walkaround checks, Working Time Directive tools, and Operator Licence reporting are built around UK requirements from the ground up, rather than needing a separate compliance system alongside the telematics platform.

FleetGS vs Targa Telematics — frequently asked questions
What does Targa Telematics do, and why do UK fleets search for an alternative?
Targa Telematics is a European connected-vehicle and mobility technology provider whose platform covers fleet telematics, car sharing, and rental fleet management, with a strong presence across mainland Europe and a growing footprint in the UK. UK businesses typically look for an alternative when they want a platform built specifically around day-to-day SME fleet operations — job dispatch, digital walkaround checks, and DVSA compliance reporting — rather than a broader connected-mobility platform originally built for pan-European rental and leasing operators.
How does FleetGS pricing compare to Targa Telematics?
Enterprise connected-vehicle platforms like Targa Telematics typically price through a custom quote based on fleet size, integration requirements, and hardware, aimed at larger corporate and rental fleets. FleetGS publishes flat-rate GBP pricing openly: £45/month for up to 10 vehicles (Starter), £129/month for up to 40 vehicles (Growth), and £299/month for up to 200 vehicles (Scale), with GPS tracking, driver behaviour monitoring, and job dispatch included as standard, and no quote process required to see the real cost.
Do I need to fit hardware to use FleetGS instead of a telematics box?
No. Enterprise connected-vehicle platforms are typically built around dedicated telematics hardware fitted to each vehicle, which usually means an installation project before tracking begins. FleetGS's app-only tracking option uses the sensors already built into a driver's smartphone to provide live location and driver behaviour data, meaning a UK SME fleet can be live within 48 hours with no hardware fitting at all — with dedicated hardware available as an optional add-on for fleets that want it.
Is FleetGS suitable for a fleet that doesn't need rental or car-sharing features?
Yes. Targa Telematics' platform is built to cover a wide range of connected-mobility use cases, including car sharing and rental fleet operations, which brings capability that most UK SME fleets running their own vehicles simply don't need. FleetGS is purpose-built for the day-to-day reality of a 10 to 250-vehicle UK operator — live tracking, job dispatch, digital walkaround checks, MOT and service alerts, and Operator Licence reporting — without paying for functionality aimed at a different kind of operator.
How long does it take to switch from Targa Telematics to FleetGS?
Most app-only FleetGS fleets are fully live within 48 hours, with vehicle and driver records imported from a CSV export during onboarding. If a Targa Telematics hardware or integration contract is still active, FleetGS can typically run in parallel during a transition period so tracking continues uninterrupted while the old contract runs down. Our UK-based support team helps map existing vehicle and driver records across during setup, without needing a formal implementation project.
