Buyer's Checklist

Five things to verify before signing a telematics contract — regardless of provider.

1
Understand the contract length and exit terms
Telematics contracts range from 12 months to 3 years. Confirm the minimum term in writing before signing, and ask specifically what happens if you want to leave early — some providers charge the remaining contract value as an exit fee. Providers like Quartix and Teletrac Navman offer shorter initial contracts; others like Verizon Connect and Samsara require a 3-year minimum commitment.
Contract length Early exit fees Auto-renewal terms
2
Confirm all hardware costs upfront
Some providers include hardware in the monthly subscription fee (Quartix, Samsara); others charge £100–£200 per unit separately (Webfleet). Ask whether you own the hardware or lease it, what happens to devices at the end of the contract, and whether there are removal or return fees. Also confirm installation costs — professional fitting can add £50–£150 per vehicle.
Hardware purchase vs lease Installation costs End-of-contract device return
3
Request a live demo before committing
The platform you use day-to-day matters as much as the features list. Ask for a live demo of the actual software — not a sales presentation. Check how easy it is to pull reports, how live tracking updates, and whether the mobile app is functional. A poor interface costs your team time every single day. Providers offering free trials (Samsara, some RAM plans) are worth testing first.

4
Verify what is and isn't included in the monthly price
The quoted monthly price often covers only basic GPS tracking. Features like dashcams, tachograph downloads, driver behaviour scoring, route optimisation, EV battery monitoring, and API access are commonly sold as separate add-ons. Ask for a complete breakdown of what is included at your chosen tier before signing, and get the total cost per vehicle in writing.

5
Check long-term reviews, not just onboarding feedback
Review platforms capture a disproportionate number of onboarding reviews — when customers are most satisfied. Search specifically for reviews from users who have been with the provider for 12 months or more. Look on Capterra, G2, Reddit, and Google Maps rather than relying solely on the provider's own website. Long-term reviews reveal the real picture on pricing stability, support quality, and hardware reliability.
