Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Do Vehicle Tracking Devices Cost?
There are many companies offering vehicle tracking services in South Africa and sometimes finding the right one for you can be both daunting and confusing. While each tracking company may present their devices and services to you as special and one-of-a-kind, the types of devices and the services offered are all relatively the same. With this in mind, we encourage you to shop around and compare quotes before choosing a provider.
Vehicle tracking hardware can cost anywhere between R1000 – R5000. Sometimes the service cost is included in the hardware price but in some cases, there will be an additional monthly service fee. There are also a few select companies that will offer the device and the service on a contractual basis. So, for example, you would pay R150 per month for 36 months (and this will include the tracking device and the service fee).
Will Vehicle Tracking Affect My Insurance Costs?
Installing a tracker can increase the safety of your vehicle and track it in the event of theft and hijacking. But did you know that it can also potentially reduce a motorist’s car insurance premiums?
This means that while you may have to pay for an added service, you could possibly be saving money in the long run.
Keep in mind, however, that this is not always the case. Many insurance companies will first consider the theft frequency of the type of car being insured as well as its value before reducing premiums.
For example:
If you are insuring a vehicle that’s statistically shown to be targeted for theft, then your insurer may ask you to install a tracking device as a condition for theft and hijack cover. This will help to mitigate the risk. In this scenario, your premium is not necessarily going to be reduced, but your vehicle won’t be covered for theft of hijacking without it.
On the other hand, if your vehicle poses no large theft risk, then a tracking device may not be necessary. If you do install one, however, then you could potentially qualify for a discount on the theft portion of your premium.
