01 · Cape Town operations
Cape Town tracking done differently.
Fast installation
Professional installation across the Cape Town metro is typically arranged within 48 hours. Or install the OBD Mini yourself in under 30 seconds — no tools, no electrician, no booking required.
No Contracts. Ever.
Cancel any time with no penalties. Traditional tracking providers require 24 or 36-month agreements. The Tracking Co sells hardware outright — we don't need to lock you in to recover device costs.
Save Thousands vs Traditional Tracking
A typical 3-year contract with a major SA tracking provider costs over R9,000 in subscription fees — and you own nothing at the end. With TTC, a 4G900L plus 3 years of tracking comes to R2,569 total. You keep the device.

06 · Common questions
Car tracking in Cape Town — questions answered.
How much does car tracking cost in Cape Town?
Car tracking in Cape Town with The Tracking Co costs R50 per month on a month-to-month basis. There is no setup fee, no activation fee, and no cancellation penalty. An annual plan is available at R45 per month (billed R540/year) for those who prefer to pay upfront. The GPS tracker hardware is a once-off purchase — from R499 for the OBD Mini plug-in — and it stays yours permanently.
How quickly can I get a car tracker installed in Cape Town?
Within 48 hours. The Tracking Co arranges professional installation across the Cape Town metro area — including the CBD, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, and West Coast — typically within two business days. Professional installation is priced from R450 per vehicle. Alternatively, the OBD Mini tracker self-installs in under 30 seconds with no tools required.
Do I need a contract for car tracking in Cape Town?
No. The Tracking Co does not require a contract for car tracking in Cape Town. Subscriptions are month-to-month from R50 per vehicle, with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. The annual plan at R45 per month is optional — it reduces the monthly cost but imposes no lock-in beyond the billing year. You own the GPS tracker hardware outright, so there is no device to return if you cancel.
Which Cape Town areas does The Tracking Co install GPS trackers in?
The Tracking Co installs GPS trackers across the full Cape Town metro, including the CBD, Bellville, Brackenfell, Durbanville, Table View, Milnerton, Bloubergstrand, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Epping, and the West Coast. For areas outside the metro, the OBD Mini self-installs in seconds, or any local auto electrician can fit a hardwired device.
Can I track my car in Cape Town without a monthly fee?
No — a monthly subscription is required for live GPS tracking, as the device communicates via cellular data that carries a cost. The Tracking Co's subscription starts at R50 per month. However, once you purchase the GPS tracker hardware outright, it is yours permanently. If you pause or cancel your subscription, the device remains yours and can be reactivated at any time without purchasing new hardware.
Does The Tracking Co offer stolen vehicle recovery in Cape Town?
Yes. Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) is an optional add-on for Cape Town customers at R44 per month or R480 per year. SVR provides 24/7 monitoring by a control room that coordinates with SAPS and a nationwide armed response network if your vehicle is stolen or hijacked. SVR requires a hardwired GPS tracker — the 4G900L at R769 is the most cost-effective compatible device.
