Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Billing

Will I be billed by Geotab or Renault?

While the solution uses the Renault embedded telematics device, all billing will be done by Geotab.

How do I choose a rate plan for the device?

MyAdmin provides subscription plan options in a dropdown menu during the order process. For more information on subscription plans, please check the Data Set document. Pricing is available in MyAdmin under Billing > Rate Plans.

When does billing begin?

Billing begins when the device is added to MyGeotab and starts receiving data from Renault. The solution is billed at the end of every month (prorated).

Managing Renault devices

How do I identify Renault devices in MyAdmin?

You can see your Renault devices in MyAdmin under Devices > Device Admin > Look up Devices. Renault devices' serial numbers start with "EA".

How do I terminate a Renault device?

Renault devices can be terminated from MyAdmin by following the standard device termination process. Please identify your devices under Devices > Device Admin > Look up Devices. Select devices to terminate and click Change Plan, then select Terminate Mode. The devices will be terminated on MyAdmin. After this step is complete, we recommend that you remove or archive the devices from MyGeotab as well.

What happens if I terminate a Renault device in MyAdmin?

Billing stops as soon as a device is terminated. To ensure complete termination, remove the device from the MyGeotab database or make it historic.

Can I reactivate terminated devices?

Terminated OEM serial numbers cannot be used again. To reactivate a vehicle, please repeat the procedure in Step 1 and Step 2 to register and add a new device.

Does standard Geotab Warranty or RMA Policy apply to Renault devices?

Geotab Warranty and RMA Policy do not apply to Renault devices. As the hardware belongs to Renault, their policy for hardware warranty applies.

Getting help

I cannot see device data on MyGeotab, what are some initial troubleshooting steps I can perform?

Here are some preliminary troubleshooting steps you can perform as a Partner:

1. Check if the serial number prefix is correct (EA). If not, terminate the device and start the process again.
2. Review the device information on MyGeotab to make sure its VIN was added. If it was not, please add it.
3. Confirm with the Customer that the vehicle has been moving.

Who do I contact for support?
