What Is Tracker Car Guard?

Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison site. This guide gives general information for South African drivers; your own provider, insurer or the police have the final word on your situation.

How Car Guard works

1. Park and arm Car Guard in the Tracker app (or let auto-arm do it).
2. If the car moves from its locked position, you get a notification.
3. Confirm whether it is you or a theft, and call Tracker’s emergency line if needed.

Car Guard is included in several Tracker packages; check your plan.
