One Step GPS is one of the few providers that publishes a low monthly price, loans the tracker for free and backs it with a 100-day money-back guarantee, which makes it a low-risk pick for small and mid-size fleets. It is a legitimate fleet tracking company based in San Fernando, California, BBB accredited since 2019 with an A+ rating and one complaint in three years. The catches are in the fine print: you pay the first month plus a one-month refundable deposit and an activation fee of up to $20, and you keep getting billed until you return the devices. Ask for an order form that lists every fee before you sign up.

OneStep GPS, step by step
Order or book a demo
Choose trackers, dash cams or ELDs. You pay the first month, a one-month deposit and a small activation fee.
Install in minutes
Plug the tracker into the vehicle's diagnostic (OBD) port, or wire it in for trailers, equipment or a hidden install.
Track and set alerts
Watch vehicles on the web or the iPhone and Android apps, with alerts for speeding, idling, after-hours use and tampering.
Try it for 100 days
If it's not a fit, send the equipment back within 100 days for a full refund. One Step says it covers shipping both ways.
Cancel by returning devices
Service is month to month. Return unused devices within 30 days of a change or buy them, or billing continues.
One Step GPS legitimacy and licensing
Yes. One Step GPS, LLC is based at 675 Glenoaks Blvd in San Fernando, California, and the BBB lists it as starting in 2017. It has been BBB accredited since November 2019 with an A+ rating and one complaint in three years. It publishes its prices and its terms of service, and it says it has more than 20,000 customers and won a 2025 Grand Stevie Award for customer service.
Independent reviews are thin. Trustpilot shows 4.5 out of 5 from only 38 reviews, and the company hasn’t replied to the few negative ones. The much larger 4.9-star figure on its site is the company’s own count.
One Step GPS pricing
GPS tracking is $13.95 per vehicle or asset a month with a free loaner device. AI dash cams are $29.95 a month and FMCSA-registered ELDs for hours-of-service logs are $20.95 a month. There’s no contract.
The $13.95 isn’t the whole first bill. At sign-up you pay the first month, a refundable security deposit equal to one month, and an activation fee of $20 or less depending on how many devices you order, plus taxes. A 10-vehicle fleet would pay about $279 plus the activation fee and taxes up front, then about $140 a month.
What you get
Trackers report location every 1 to 30 seconds on Google Maps, with trip history, stop times, and alerts by text, email or app for speeding, idling, after-hours use and tampering. Options include plug-in OBD trackers, hardwired trackers with add-ons such as driver ID and starter disable, rugged and battery or solar trackers for trailers and equipment, AI dash cams and ELDs. There’s an API, and support is US-based, Monday to Friday, 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific.
What customers say about OneStep GPS
Recurring themes across the review sites and complaint records listed above, not individual quotes.
Common praise
- Reliable live tracking and trip history
- Quick access to a live, US-based support person
- Simple website and app
- Fair monthly price with no contract
Common complaints
- Devices or ELDs that don't register driving status correctly
- Units that never worked but were still billed
- Trouble cancelling until hardware is returned
One Step GPS complaints
Complaints are rare: one at the BBB in three years and no one-star reviews on Trustpilot. The negative reviews that exist describe ELDs that didn’t record driving status correctly, and units that never worked while billing continued. Test each device in the first weeks, and if one fails, report it in writing so it’s covered by the lifetime warranty or the 100-day guarantee.
Cancellation, refunds and returning devices
Within 100 days you can send the equipment back for a full refund, issued once it arrives in good working order. After that, service is month to month and you can cancel without a penalty, but the terms say monthly fees are non-refundable. When you reduce or cancel subscriptions, you must return the devices in working condition, or buy them, within 30 days; until then you’re still billed, and missing devices can raise your fees. Ship devices with tracking and keep the receipt.
Tracking employees legally
Rules on tracking workers vary by state. Some states require you to notify employees or get consent before tracking a vehicle, and tracking a personal vehicle is riskier than tracking a company one. Tell drivers what you track and why, put it in a written policy, and check your state’s law before installing trackers or dash cams that record audio.
Alternatives to OneStep GPS
-
Its $10 Starter plan costs less for up to three vehicles, though you buy the tracker.
-
LinxupWorth comparing if you want to lock in free hardware on a two- or three-year term.
-
Better for larger fleets that want factory telematics with no install and enterprise integrations.
-
Your phone's location sharing
For one or two vehicles with drivers who agree to it, free phone location sharing may be enough, though it stops when the phone is off.
