Why teams choose
Fleetio over RTA

Extensive Shop Network

RTA is designed for in-house shops and doesn't support outsourced maintenance well. Fleetio runs both in-house and outsourced repairs seamlessly, with a Maintenance Shop Network spanning 60,000+ shops across the US and Canada — complete with automated approvals, electronic invoicing and real-time cost tracking.

Built for modern fleets

RTA is legacy software migrating to the cloud with clunky workflows and slow adoption. Fleetio is cloud-native from the ground up, with mobile-first UX, quick setup and guided imports that get your team up and running in weeks, not months.

High integration and API capability

RTA has limited integrations and API flexibility. Fleetio offers an open API and direct connections with leading telematics providers (Geotab, Motive, Verizon, Samsara), fuel cards and maintenance systems — giving you the freedom to build the fleet tech stack that works for you.

David Bernier

"We have been using Fleetio for almost 3 years now. I'm not sure what we would do without it at this point. Fleetio has allowed us to streamline our maintenance issues and decrease our cost across the board. Their customer service representatives are the best that I have ever dealt with."
