Frequently Asked Questions
How much does vehicle tracking cost in South Africa? GPS trackers start from R499 (OBD Mini) to R1,499 (FMB140 CANBUS). The annual tracking platform subscription is R540/year (R45/month equivalent), which includes all features, mobile apps, alerts, reports, and geofencing. There are no hidden fees or additional charges. Optional Stolen Vehicle Recovery costs R480/year.
Is there a contract for GPS vehicle tracking? No contracts required. You purchase the GPS tracker hardware outright and pay for your tracking platform subscription yearly (or monthly for fleets). You own the device and can cancel the subscription anytime without penalties.
Can I install the GPS tracker myself? Yes. The OBD Mini plugs directly into your car's OBD port and takes 30 seconds to install - no tools or wiring required. Hardwired trackers (4G900L, FMC920, FMC880, FMB140) require connection to your vehicle's power supply. You can install these yourself with our guides, or arrange professional installation through any auto electrician.
How is this different from Cartrack or Netstar? Unlike Cartrack and Netstar, you own the GPS tracker hardware (no leasing), there are no contracts (cancel anytime), and all platform features are included without paywalls. You have full control of installations and can manage devices in-house without relying on their technicians. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees.
