Beame is one of the cheapest insurer-approved vehicle recovery options in South Africa. Here is what you get for the money, what you do not, and how it compares with Cartrack, Tracker and Netstar.
Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison site. We are not Beame and are not affiliated with either. Brand names belong to their owners. Prices are monthly subscriptions as listed in our catalogue; confirm current pricing with your quote.
Beame is a wireless vehicle recovery unit from MiX by Powerfleet, the company behind Matrix. A technician hides the small, battery-powered unit in your vehicle in a few minutes, without wiring it into the car’s electronics. If your car is stolen or hijacked, you report it and recovery agents use location data from the unit to find the vehicle.
The most important thing to know: Beame is a recovery unit, not a live tracker. The app shows the unit’s last known location and lets you report a theft, but you cannot watch the car move in real time. If you want live tracking, geofencing or driver reports, compare it with Cartrack or Netstar below.

Beame is sold on a 36-month agreement. Cancelling in the first 24 months can carry an early-cancellation penalty, and cancellations must be sent in writing with 20 business days’ notice. Pricing varies depending on where you buy it (direct, through a dealer or through an insurer), so compare quotes. If your car is stolen, report it as quickly as possible, ideally within the first hour.
