Take a look at what we can do for you:
If you’re ever faced with the awful situation of being hijacked or having your car stolen, you can rest assured knowing the Cartrack recovery team is ready to spring into action and retrieve your car—whenever, wherever. Our emergency support line is also available 24/7, so you have direct communication with the team in the control room.
We have a proven track record, with over a whopping 100 000 vehicles recovered over the last decade. This cements us as one of the top-ranking tracking companies in South Africa.
Just imagine stepping out of the shopping centre only to find your car or bike missing from the bay it was in; what a disaster! With features like CarWatch or BikeWatch, you can avoid the stress that comes with that heart-sinking scenario.
Our CarWatch technology is an early detection system that triggers an alert when your vehicle has been moved without your knowledge. Once this happens, our team can immediately give you a call while sending out the recovery team to kick off the retrieval process.
Did you know every single one of our GPS tracking devices is equipped with jamming detection technology? While it’s almost impossible to stop a thief from interfering with your car, our backup tracker—the Cartrack Tag—makes sure we still have eyes on your car even if it’s been jammed and stolen!
Even if the car’s caught up in a high-risk or low-to-no coverage area, we’ll still see your car’s location.
Our intelligent IoT (Internet of Things) device will immediately let us know if your car has been involved in a high-impact collision. Our tracking units use g-force technology, in combination with various sensors, that can detect factors like speed, which is what identifies an accident as it happens.
This is the ideal rescue solution for those critical moments when you can’t make the call yourself. Once notified, we’ll call emergency services and your emergency contacts.
Cartrack Protector is the perfect add-on if you’re looking for swift, top-class medical and roadside assistance when you need it. It provides coverage for numerous emergencies; from fuel top-ups and towing services to sending an ambulance, the help you need is at the touch of a button.
The logbook is a perfect tool for getting you prepared for tax season, saving money, and keeping track of your trips. Thanks to automation, our easy trip-type classification, and the extra notes section, you can easily claim back on travel expenses without having to manually keep records.
You can also use it in an insurance dispute, because it accurately records the exact dates and times of your whereabouts.
All of our units have one-year warranty plans. Once that’s up, we’ll require a call-out fee for servicing the unit or having it replaced. BUT, our Lifetime Maintenance Warranty is one of our value-added services you can opt for, and it’ll help you save big time!
With this warranty option, you won’t have to worry about paying out of pocket.
Whether it’s tampered with, stolen, or just faulty, you don’t want to end up in a situation where your car’s battery isn’t working as it should. That’s why we have our power event notifications. So, if your car’s battery has been disconnected, you’ll get an instant alert.
This is an especially important feature when you consider how often criminals use battery tampering/removal methods during their robberies.
Our live dashcams are the perfect addition to your tracking package. We understand the growing threat of insurance fraud, road rage, and other incidents that could put you in danger. That’s exactly why our dashcams serve as your extra set of eyes.
Take a look at your options:
Road Vision is a single, road-facing camera with a wide angle to capture a broader field of view. You can livestream the video with audio, and even download footage according to a specific date and time window. Both can be done through the Cartrack mobile app.
