How safe is your car out there in the streets? With car theft cases on the rise, you're better off protecting yours using a tracker. And here's how it works...

A technician fits the tracker in a hidden and difficult-to-locate section of your car. He then connects it to your phone through a mobile app. With this app, you can remotely track the whereabouts of your car, how it's being driven, fuel level and above all you can even switch it off remotely should the need arise.

So, if total control over your precious investment is what you are looking for, this has got to be it.

The world has become a global village, and for those of us in Africa, we're brothers and sisters. For our brothers from Nairobi, Scepture Empire is a car tracking company we can recommend. They operate from the capital of Kenya but have an East Africa wide presence.

Their car tracking is quite affordable. It goes for Ksh4,500/- (equivalent to 16,000 Naira). This is just about as affordable as it gets. So, if you've been considering tracking your car but money has been a hindrance, this is an option worth considering.

Do you know of any other good car tracking companies, tips or criticism that you'd like to share? I'd like to hear from you.
