I’ve sent you a mail with some names of two ladies who managed to sort out some issues for one of my clients. Demand a few months free for your trouble. They usually give it.

Thank you Erin. I will rather pay a higher premium than use these idiots again. 

They are absolutely flippen useless.

(Excuse me but after 4 months of trying to resolve this I’ve now lost my shit)

BTW Kavitha is one of the people I have been in contact with. Usually goes like this “im so sorry for the inconvenience I will get back to you” and then you never hear anything from them except from brainless sub humans that can’t rub two brain cells together.

Im just paying the higher premiums and excess. There is no way I will ever use either of these companies again. Fortunately its only on the M4 that I need this kak. The other vehicles don’t need it.

Ah, best service I’ve been getting recently is from these guys https://www.mixtelematics.co.za/consumer-solutions/beame, but we don’t deal with any of the tracking companies directly, only via the insurers.

 

What I like about the BEAME unit is that it a stand-alone system, that doesn’t need to be wired into the vehicle.

 

In general though, I avoid tracking as far as possible, and would rather recommend an insurer that doesn’t require it. It gives us more headaches than it solves, and we usually end up with clients who are upset about things that we can do nothing about. 

 

There’s a rumour in our industry, that when some of the bigger tracking companies find their unit disposed of on the side of the road, and the vehicle long gone, they count that as a recovery.

ZA’s largest insurer usually don’t require tracking in any personal vehicles, and they do allow discounts if you have one, but as you say, I’d rather pay the higher premium. Tell the insurers that the tracking unit is playing havoc with the vehicles electronics, and they need to waive the requirement.

Bruce, I am also struggling with them at the moment.  The problem with moving somewhere else is to who.  I had a look on Hellopeter and other reviews, and believe it or not, Cartrack has the best reviews, or should I say the least bad reviews.  All of them score extremely low.

Yeah, I agree on their uselessness but can’t help you unfortunately.
