Standard tracker and installationFrom UGX 385,000

Starting price for standard GPS tracker hardware and professional installation.

Fuel sensors, temperature monitoring, driver IDs, MDAS and other customised integrations are quoted on request. Confirm the exact scope, taxes and warranty in writing.

The short answer

Know the upfront and annual costs.

A car, boda boda, truck or construction machine can need different hardware and installation work. Custom requirements such as fuel sensors, temperature monitoring, driver IDs, MDAS, video or remote immobilisation receive an itemised quote. A low device-only price may exclude the service that makes tracking useful after installation.

Sky Worth’s standard GPS tracking setup starts at UGX 385,000 for the tracker and installation, plus UGX 120,000 each year for platform and SMS. Ask for the upfront total and annual terms in writing, including applicable taxes and any optional features.

Total cost

Five parts of a tracking quote.

A complete quote should make each part clear enough to compare with another supplier.

1. GPS device

The tracker gathers position and vehicle events. Device choice affects compatibility, durability and available features.

2. Installation

Professional fitment, configuration and testing vary with the vehicle and required connections.

3. SIM and data

The device needs a way to send information. Confirm who provides connectivity and how renewals work.

4. Platform access

Ask what the web dashboard, mobile app, history, alerts and reports include, and for how long data remains available.

5. Support

Clarify training, warranty, troubleshooting, replacement terms and any call-out charges.

Fit for purpose

Choose the setup for the vehicle and the job.

Private cars and SUVs

Prioritise discreet installation, reliable location, movement alerts and an app the authorised owner can use easily.

Motorcycles and boda bodas

Discuss weather exposure, battery draw, mounting security and how the device will report on regular journeys.

Trucks and business fleets

Plan for multiple users, route history, driver events, reporting and any fuel or camera integrations that the operation truly needs.

After installation

Is there an annual fee?

Yes. For standard GPS tracking, the tracker and installation start at UGX 385,000, with UGX 120,000 per year for platform and SMS. Ask how renewal works, how much trip history is included and what happens if the annual service expires.

Common questions

Answers before installation.

Can I track a car from my phone?

Yes, supported tracking setups provide mobile access for authorised users. Check which alerts and history are included in the quoted platform service.

Is a GPS tracker price the same for a boda boda and a truck?

No. Power supply, mounting, exposure and required features differ. The correct device and fitment should be chosen for the actual vehicle.

Does the quote include fuel monitoring?

Basic GPS tracking and measured fuel-level monitoring are different. Fuel sensing may require a compatible sensor, tank assessment and calibration. Ask for it as a separate line item.

Can a tracker stop a stolen vehicle?

Compatible systems may support immobilisation, subject to installation and a strict safety process. It should only be used by authorised people after confirming the vehicle is stationary and following the recovery procedure.

Do you install outside Kampala?

Sky Worth is based in Kabalagala and plans work elsewhere in Uganda according to location, fleet size and technical requirements. Include the installation location when requesting a quote.
