How does it work?

Cartrack Roadside Assistance is accessed through the Cartrack app, allowing any driver with the app to request help—provided the vehicle has Roadside Assistance activated on the account. To begin, the driver opens the Cartrack app, logs in, and selects the “Protector” button from the feature menu. They then choose the vehicle in need of assistance, confirm or update the driver’s contact number, and verify the vehicle’s location. The app offers multiple ways to set the location, including using the vehicle’s GPS, the phone’s GPS, manual address entry, or adjusting a map pin. Once all details are confirmed, the driver submits the request, and the system sends the vehicle details, contact number, and exact location directly to the roadside service provider for prompt assistance.
