What Are The Best Car GPS Trackers? [ Tested ]

Unboxing and Setup: 

We started by unboxing each Car GPS tracker and setting it up according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We noted how easy (or difficult) each device was to set up and whether the instructions were clear and easy to follow. 

Price and Value: 

We considered the price of each Car GPS tracker and the value it offered for its cost. We also took into account any subscription fees required for data services. 

Features and Functionality: 

We tested all the features of each Car GPS tracker, including real-time tracking, geofencing, and alerts. We also looked at the user interface of the app or website. We checked how easy it is to use, how clear it is, and how well it works.

Real-World Tracking: 

We installed each GPS tracker in a car and used it over a period of several days. We drove around town, on highways, and in rural areas to test the accuracy and reliability of the tracking. We also checked how quickly the real-time tracking updated and how accurate the location data was.

Battery Life: 

For Car GPS trackers with standalone batteries, we tested the battery life. We noted how long the tracker lasted on a single charge and how long it took to recharge.

Durability and Build Quality: 

We checked the build quality of each Car GPS tracker. We looked for signs of poor build quality or durability problems. We also checked the water and dust resistance, if applicable.

Customer Support: 

Finally, we contacted the customer support of each brand, asking questions about the product and gauging the quality of their service.

How we Score GPS Trackers 

Our testing process begins with unboxing and goes all the way through to evaluating customer support. It is divided into four key parts: Tracking Accuracy, Ease of Use, Special Features, and Value for Money. After assessing each of these aspects, we provide a final overall rating, scored out of 5.

• 5.0 Stars: The tracker gives fast, accurate updates and is easy to set up with a simple app. All features, like geofencing, work perfectly. A great deal for the price exists with no hidden costs.
  
  
• 4.0 Stars: The tracker is mostly reliable, with only small update delays. It’s easy to set up, and most features work well. It’s good value, though some extra fees may reduce its appeal.
  
  
• 3.0 Stars: The tracker works but sometimes has delays or inaccurate data. Setup can be tricky, and the app is not very user-friendly. Features are basic and not always reliable, offering average value.
  
  
• 2.0 Stars: The tracker often has delays and inaccurate updates. Setup is hard, and the app is difficult to use. Features are limited and don’t work well, making it feel overpriced.
  
  
• 1.0 Star: The tracker doesn’t give accurate data and often loses signal. The setup is very frustrating, and the app barely works. It lacks essential features and is not worth the money.
