Who fits the tracker?
In Cape Town, The Tracking Co's own technician fits it at your door. Anywhere in South Africa, your own auto electrician can fit it, or you can fit it yourself. Your choice, on every device.
In Cape Town our own full-time technician comes to your home, office, or yard: R550 a vehicle, with travel included anywhere in Cape Town. Two or more vehicles are quoted per job, and outlying towns such as Stellenbosch or Paarl add a travel charge, quoted upfront. Elsewhere in South Africa we arrange an independent installer where one is available, quoted per job.
Already have an auto electrician? Any of them can fit a TTC device in well under an hour. Every unit ships configured and ready — they just connect it to permanent power, then hide and secure it. There's no approved-installer list to go through.
The OBD Mini plugs into the OBD port in about 30 seconds. The FMC880 clamps onto the battery terminals. The hardwired trackers need two wires, and we guide you through it. See how self-install works.

What you save over three years
Traditional providers rent hardware on multi-year contracts with annual increases. You own yours. Here's the gap on one vehicle over three years.

Pricing is a starting point, not a wall. For larger fleets we'll work out a structure that fits — talk to us about volume pricing, sub-accounts and in-house management.

Is there really no contract?
Correct. You buy the hardware once and pay month-to-month for tracking, from R50 per vehicle per month. There's no minimum term — cancel any time with no penalty and nothing to hand back. The annual plan (R45/month, billed R540 once a year) is optional and just lowers the monthly cost.
What's the difference between the four devices?
The OBD Mini (R499) plugs in with no installation and is ideal for a single vehicle. The 4G900L (R769) is the everyday hardwired workhorse with SVR capability. The FMC920 (R999) adds advanced reporting for fleets. The FMC880 (R1,199) is rugged and weatherproof for farms, plant and harsh environments. Every device includes the same full platform — the difference is the hardware, not the features.
Are there any hidden fees?
No setup fee, no activation fee, no cancellation penalty and no feature paywalls. The only optional cost beyond the device and subscription is professional installation for hardwired devices, which is quoted by location and vehicle — and you can avoid it entirely by self-installing or using your own auto electrician.
What does the subscription include?
Everything. Live GPS, geofences, trip history, SARS-compliant logbook reports, movement alerts, the web dashboard, native mobile apps and API access — all on every plan, with the tracker's SIM and data covered too. There are no tiers gating features behind higher prices. See the full breakdown of what your subscription includes.
Do I have to pay for stolen vehicle recovery?
No. SVR is an optional add-on (R44/month, or R40/month on the annual plan) for 24/7 monitored recovery response. Tracking works fully without it — SVR adds a monitored response layer on top.
