That cost is very reasonable. When i had a tracker fitted to a campervan IRC it was £35.00 PM. It had to be fitted by a service engineer. The only downfall was when the vehicle was in for a service or on a ferry the signal was lost and i would get warning calls from the company. Must admit this was when tracking in the private sector was just hitting the market
