Compared with Tracker Retrieve+ (R99/month), the Protect plan costs R80 more a month and adds live GPS tracking and mobile app access. Step up to Skytrax (R289/month) for geofencing and driver behaviour monitoring. At today's price the subscription comes to R2,148 a year and R6,444 over a 36-month contract, before annual increases, with installation included. It does not include jamming detection and remote immobiliser / fuel cut, so check those against your needs and your insurer's requirements.
