Car Tracker Price Calculator
The monthly fee is only half the story. Tell us what you need and we'll total up every matching plan over the time you'll keep it, installation included, cheapest first.
Your total cost
How this calculator works
Total cost = subscription + installation
We multiply each plan's VAT-inclusive monthly price by the months you'll keep it, then add installation. Plans that include free fitting or need no fitting add R0. For the rest we use the installation figure you choose above, since providers quote it per vehicle.
What it doesn't include
Early-cancellation fees, optional add-ons such as dash cams, and once-off activation fees vary by provider and aren't in the total. Our hidden costs guide covers them in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Basic recovery plans start at about R89 to R99 a month, mid-range live-tracking plans run about R149 to R219, and premium plans with driver analytics cost about R249 to R299. All prices include VAT.
Some providers, including Tracker and Cartrack, include installation when you sign a 36-month contract. Wireless units such as Netstar STARtag and Matrix Beame need no wiring (Beame is hidden by a technician in minutes). Other hardwired units are quoted per vehicle, typically R1,899 to R3,299.
A plan with a slightly higher monthly fee but free installation can work out cheaper over the full contract than a lower monthly fee plus a R2,000+ installation. That's exactly what this calculator shows.
