What Is the Cartrack Tag?

Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison site. We are not Cartrack and are not affiliated with it, so we cannot access your account, log you in or cancel a contract for you. Facts on this page were checked against official Cartrack sources in September 2026; the provider’s own website is always the final word.

How Cartrack Tag works

• Uses Cartrack’s proprietary network, so it works where cellular coverage is poor
• Paired with a Cartrack device, it detects jamming attempts and alerts the owner and Cartrack’s 24/7 team
• Separation alerts when a trailer is disconnected, plus geofencing
• Near real-time location in Cartrack’s cloud platform

Cartrack Tag vs Matrix Beame

Cartrack Tag is built mainly for commercial assets. For a private car, Matrix Beame is a wireless, insurer-approved recovery unit at R99 a month with a battery of up to three years and jamming detection. It also works in motorbikes, trailers and caravans.

Looking for an alternative to Cartrack?

If you are reviewing your Cartrack contract, compare it with Matrix before you renew. Matrix Beame gives insurer-approved recovery from R99 a month with no wiring, and the new Matrix Vision dashcam adds road-facing and in-cab AI cameras, collision and distraction alerts and live streaming from R359 a month. Both come from MiX by Powerfleet, one of South Africa’s longest-running vehicle telematics companies.
