With vehicle theft on the rise, it’s no wonder so many more people are using GPS car trackers than ever before. Companies such as PAJ GPS can help you protect your car with their Vehicle Finder Technology. You get live route tracking with instant notifications on your phone.

The technology seems inexpensive to buy. You just have a small subscription cost for ongoing use, £4.99 a month if you subscribe annually. Then you don’t have coverage exclusions and also benefit from tracking in real time.

Save on Insurance

You can save on your car insurance because they like the fact a stolen car is much more likely to be recovered because its location is known with a car tracker. Car trackers are usually discrete, so they are less likely to be noticed and removed. If they do get disconnected from their power source, you get notified so at least you have something to work with.

Peace of Mind

You get peace of mind that your car is protected with an alarm if your ignition is inserted. You also get alerts if the car is driven at speed. So, if you are letting anyone else use your car you can make sure they are driving it appropriately. Especially if your child has just passed their driving test, then it’s a good idea to monitor how they get on until they become a more experienced driver.

Driver Misuse

If you’re a business, you can use car trackers to make sure your staff are using the company cars appropriately. Are they meeting clients or doing their shopping and dry cleaning instead? Some staff might see it as an invasion of privacy. But probably not the staff that have nothing to hide!

Estimated Time Of Arrival

If you’re a delivery company, then car trackers can help provide your customers with an estimated time of arrival. This is a useful guide which keeps customers happy as they like to be kept in the loop. Whenever my husband orders something he is always refreshing the delivery times page for updates! So, it’s definitely something customers value having access to. If your a taxi company the technology can also help you give customers expected time of arrival. Everyone appreciates being updated, so you will also have better feedback from customers.

Geo-Fence Alert

If you are worried about someone in your family going to a certain area for any reason this is a useful tool to have access to. You can add a geo-fence alert and then be notified as soon as they leave or enter that area.

Certain reasons for wanting to use this technology can be quite upsetting, such as infidelity. I guess it depends on if you would rather know or not. But the car tracker notifications will give you a clearer picture of whether they are at the location they say they are.

This feature can work with your children too. Have they said they are going to the library to study but are actually someone else entirely? If they have gone to a party at least you know where they are to pick them up. It’s all about keeping them safe as they navigate the world around them.

You do need to consider though how they will feel when they find out you have been tracking them. It can be quite invasive without prior knowledge for your partner or your children. But in terms of being legal as long as you own a car you are perfectly within your rights to track the car.

In Conclusion

Given these compelling reasons I might even consider browsing for GPS car trackers. Not really for spying on my husband! Although I am very nosey. I would probably buy them for my children when they get their first cars. Forget fluffy dice a GPS car tracker and annual subscription seems a more thoughtful gift. Especially if it will bring down the cost of their car insurance!
