When it comes to keeping your vehicle secure and under your watchful eye, 4G GPS trackers are a game-changer. They let you know exactly where your car is in real time, and that peace of mind is priceless. But with all the options out there, how do you decide between a hardwired GPS tracker and a portable one?
Here’s a breakdown of each option and which situations they work best in.
A hardwired GPS tracker connects directly to your car’s power supply. This means it's hidden, always on, and can't be easily removed without some effort. It’s the go-to choice for long-term vehicle tracking, fleet management, or anti-theft protection for cars, trucks, trailers, or even caravans.

Considerations:
Portable GPS trackers are wireless devices with built-in batteries. They’re quick to set up, easy to move, and ideal for people who prefer flexibility or need to track something temporarily, like a rental car, caravan, or boat.

Considerations:
If you're running a fleet or managing a delivery business, a hardwired tracker is perfect for 24/7 monitoring and operational control. It offers a level of reliability and functionality you won’t get from a portable device.
But if you're someone who moves gear often or wants to use a tracker only occasionally (say, during a long road trip or when parking in unfamiliar places), the portable option is incredibly handy.
To make your decision easier, here are some standout options from Elinz that cater to both hardwired and portable preferences:
