Pakistan may be the world’s most diverse country in terms of climate, geography, and population. The increasing population is causing the roads to get over crowded as well. Now with the current economic challenges, Car owners in Pakistan may feel vulnerable to accident as well as theft.
Nevertheless, the words on the street has it: people are feeling vulnerable and at the same time, questioning the vitality of a car tracker in Pakistan. There are a lot of myths we have heard about car trackers including that they’re battery consuming, highly expensive and whatnot.
This article, therefore, sets out to clarify the misconceptions behind these myths and take a subtly nuanced look at what role car trackers and their advanced technology play in a country like Pakistan’s unique environment. A country where pervasive theft rates are rising with each passing day:
Myth: Car trackers are only for expensive vehicles
Debunked: Offering security benefits to all vehicles, regardless of their retail price, car trackers level the playing field. In Pakistan and throughout a variety of model labels and makes of vehicles where car theft becomes an issue, installing a car tracker becomes an option because with smart twits, stolen cars can later be recovered. Do the cost-benefit analysis by yourself, consider the financial setback a car tracker is saving you from!
Myth: Car trackers are too expensive
Debunked: Some advanced car tracking systems may have a high upfront cost, but the long-term benefits must still be weighed against this expenditure.

Myth: Car trackers are an invasion of privacy
Debunked: Mainly, car trackers are focused on the vehicle’s whereabouts, real-time location data, and its movement. In Pakistan, these systems play a major role in security enhancement and recovery assistance without any intrusion on the life of individuals when used responsibly… The collected data is usually confined to vehicle information.
Myth: Car trackers are useless in rural areas
Debunked: Although, the actual terrain can hinder the strength of a GPS signal. However, modern technology has, for the most part, worked around the issue.

Myth: Car trackers are only necessary for areas with high crime rates
Debunked: Car theft is not a problem limited to high-crime areas in Pakistan. A vehicle doesn’t need to be located in an area with a high crime rate for the car theft rate to be high so that a car tracker could be useful regardless of the local crime rate. In actuality, installing a tracker in an area with a lower crime rate is a proactive measure, making it an effective deterrent to thieves that may be operating in a less crime-riddled area solely because it is seen as an easier target by thieves that plan to steal vehicles regardless of the general crime rate for the area.

These reputable systems adhere to established security standards, so the system itself isn’t a major vulnerability.
Myth: Car trackers burn through your car’s battery rapidly
Debunked: This might have been true for older trackers, but newer systems are designed to be energy efficient. They have minimal impact on battery life, drawing very little power to operate.
This not only enhances its security but also makes real savings possible every month by ensuring your car’s ideal health.
