GPS tracker purchase versus rental

Neither route is automatically better. Purchase usually gives you a higher initial cost and ownership of the agreed hardware, while rental can reduce upfront expenditure and combine the equipment and service into a recurring charge.

Consideration Purchase Rental
Initial cost Hardware and any installation are normally paid at the start. Usually lower upfront cost, subject to the agreed rental package.
Hardware ownership Your business owns the hardware specified in the purchase agreement. The equipment normally remains the property of Trackmatic and must be returned when required.
Ongoing charges Connectivity, platform access, data and support continue under the service plan. The recurring rental typically includes the agreed hardware and service elements.
Best suited to Businesses keeping vehicles longer or preferring to own equipment. Businesses prioritising lower initial expenditure or simpler recurring budgeting.
Vehicle changes Owned equipment may be transferable, subject to compatibility and reinstallation. Replacement or transfer arrangements depend on the rental agreement.

See the current overview on our vehicle tracking pricing page, or request both purchase and rental figures for a direct comparison.

What your ongoing service can include

Buying the hardware does not remove the need for SIM connectivity, data processing, mapping, platform access, maintenance and support. These are covered by the ongoing service selected.

Live tracking

View the current location and status of connected vehicles from the web platform or mobile device.

Journey history

Review routes, stops, mileage and time-on-site to support operations and customer queries.

Alerts and reports

Configure movement, geofence, out-of-hours or driver-related alerts where the selected device supports them.

Connectivity and support

Keep each tracker connected to the platform and receive support for the agreed system and service.

GPS tracker purchase questions

Key points to understand before purchasing tracking hardware for your fleet.

What do I own when I purchase a tracker?

Your business purchases the hardware listed in the quotation. Connectivity, platform access, data and support continue as separate ongoing services.

Is installation free?

Installation is not described as automatically free. Self-installation may be possible, while hardwired or concealed installations may carry an engineer charge. The quotation will show this clearly.

Can I move the tracker to another vehicle?

Often yes, subject to compatibility and the condition of the hardware. Removal, reinstallation or reconfiguration charges may apply.

Can you quote purchase and rental together?

Yes. Ask for both options and we can show the initial payment and ongoing charges for each route, making the comparison much easier.
