Reducing Crime by up to

For most businesses, leaving millions of dollars of company assets sitting in the parking lot would be unthinkable, but for rental car companies, that's just the nature of the business.

Protecting your inventory is critical. Nearly 700,000 vehicles are stolen annually in the US, with 4 out of 10 car thefts occurring at auto lots.

LotGuard provides a complete surveillance and security solution specifically designed to put a stop to rental car crime.

Security Cameras for Rental Car Centers

As a general manager or operator of an off-airport rental car center, one of your top priorities is protecting your vehicle inventory from theft, vandalism, and costly damage, such as catalytic converter theft.

Incidents of theft and vandalism at rental car lots have increased in recent years. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, vehicle thefts from auto facilities rose by nearly 30% between 2019 and 2021, making strong, visible security more important than ever.

LotGuard’s surveillance units are designed specifically to help rental car operations reduce theft and other criminal activity. They can be installed at your lot or vehicle storage areas within minutes, providing immediate protection even in locations without power or internet connectivity.

Each LotGuard system is backed by a fully managed monitoring service that includes installation, connectivity, and real-time remote video monitoring. This proactive approach helps deter criminal activity before it occurs and provides a dependable safeguard against expensive losses.

LotGuard delivers proven, flexible security solutions that help off-airport rental car centers protect their vehicles and maintain business continuity.

Flexible Rental Options

Surveillance Camera Rental for Rental Car Centers

Installing a video surveillance system is one of the most effective ways to protect your off-airport rental car center from theft, vandalism, and property damage.

LotGuard’s mobile surveillance trailers provide a powerful, visible security presence that helps deter criminal activity and protect your rental fleet.

However, purchasing security equipment outright can be expensive, and staying up to date with the latest technology adds ongoing costs. We also understand that many rental car operations have temporary or fluctuating security needs, making equipment ownership less practical.

LotGuard’s rental options provide complete flexibility, allowing you to hire surveillance equipment only when you need it. Whether you’re securing overflow parking areas, managing seasonal fleet increases, or protecting temporary storage locations, LotGuard rentals make it easy to scale your security coverage without a large upfront investment.

LotGuard offers affordable, adaptable, and professional-grade surveillance solutions for off-airport rental car centers that need dependable protection with minimal long-term commitment.

Case Study

Lithia Motors x LotGuard

Lithia Motors, Inc. is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States and their dealership had faced significant security challenges, including issues with homeless individuals loitering on the property, vandalism, and vehicle break-ins.

These security concerns not only posed a threat to their valuable inventory but also affected the overall sense of safety and comfort for their customers and employees.

Due to the profile of their locations, they lacked the facilities for a permanent power supply, so they required a surveillance or security system that could operate independently of mains power.
