Cartrack is one of South Africa's largest vehicle tracking companies, known for its app-based tracking, driver-behaviour scoring and fleet-management tools. Here's what the platform actually does before you compare pricing.
Cartrack pairs a fitted GPS/GSM unit with its own mobile app, giving you live location, trip history and vehicle status from your phone rather than only a call-in recovery service.
Beyond personal vehicles, Cartrack is heavily used in the fleet-management space — scoring driver behaviour (harsh braking, speeding, acceleration) and giving businesses a dashboard across every vehicle they run.
Live location, trip logs and alerts through Cartrack's own app — a feature Cartrack has built its consumer positioning around.
Harsh-braking, acceleration and cornering events are logged and scored, useful for both personal insight and fleet oversight.
Movement, towing and tamper alerts are pushed to the app and to Cartrack's monitoring centre.
Multi-vehicle dashboards, fuel and maintenance tracking, and reporting aimed at businesses running more than one vehicle — see our fleet cost-reduction guide for the numbers behind this.

No — Cartrack offers plans for personal vehicles as well as fleet-focused packages for businesses. The underlying technology and app are largely the same; fleet plans simply add multi-vehicle dashboards and reporting.
Cartrack, like most providers in this market, typically sells its plans on a fixed-term contract with the device cost bundled into the monthly fee. Confirm the current contract length and any early-cancellation terms directly with Cartrack before signing.
All three combine GPS-based tracking with a monitored recovery service, but Cartrack leans more heavily on its own app and driver-behaviour analytics, where Tracker emphasises VHF recovery technology and Netstar sits closer to a straightforward GPS/GSM offering. See our three-way comparison for the details.
