Choosing the right GPS subscription for tracking your fleet in Dakar can seem complicated. Between the different plans available on the market, variable features, and hidden costs, it is easy to make the wrong choice. This guide helps you identify the plan that fits your needs and budget.
Criteria for Choosing Your Fleet GPS Subscription
Before comparing plans, evaluate your needs on these points:
Fleet Size
- 1 to 5 vehicles: a basic plan is usually sufficient
- 5 to 30 vehicles: you will need reports and advanced management tools
- 30+ vehicles: API integration and dedicated support become necessary
Priority Features
- Security: kill switch, geofencing, theft alerts
- Optimization: driving reports, long history, consumption analysis
- Integration: API, data export, connection to your existing tools
Budget Per Vehicle
GPS budget per vehicle varies by industry and fleet value. As a reference, Senegalese businesses typically allocate between 6,000 and 15,000 FCFA per vehicle per month for GPS tracking.

Recommended: Basic or Premium
Live tracking and kill switch from Basic are enough for small fleets. Premium adds useful reports for managing a larger taxi fleet.
Vehicle Rental
Recommended: Premium
Rental companies need advanced geofencing (authorized zone per contract), vehicle documents (insurance and inspection tracking), and extended history to verify usage.
Delivery and E-commerce

Equipment tracking on job sites, operating hour control, and off-hours movement alerts are the key features.
