Did you know ET Rapid Response is in partnership with Bidtrack, giving Durban and South African drivers a faster and more direct way to activate vehicle recovery when something goes wrong?
Instead of relying on call centers, long verification steps, or slow routing between different service providers, this setup creates a straight path from your Bidtrack device to the ET Rapid Response control room.
For anyone who wants quicker intervention during an emergency, this partnership introduces a practical improvement to how recovery is handled.

Why Is Vehicle Tracking and Recovery so Vital in South Africa?
Vehicle crime remains a major concern across the country, and they're only growing.
Even with tracking systems and security apps, delays often happen at the moments when time matters most. ET Rapid Response and Bidtrack designed this joint service to remove those delays. When a vehicle is at risk, the signal goes directly to teams trained to take action immediately.
It drastically cuts down the steps between detection, confirmation, and dispatch, and that difference is the root of a successful recovery.
The system operates through your existing Bidtrack device. When a high-risk event occurs (whether it’s unauthorised movement, a confirmed hijacking, or a panic activation) the alert is pushed straight to ET Rapid Response.
Their control centre verifies the alert and deploys the closest available armed response vehicle. This reduces waiting times and keeps the process consistent across all regions.
Because ET Rapid Response already manages thousands of incident calls every month, they have the infrastructure and staff to respond quickly.
Another advantage is the nationwide footprint. Drivers often move across provinces and want the reassurance that their recovery service will still work, no matter where they are. The partnership ensures that activation, tracking, and dispatch follow the same process whether the incident happens in a major city or a smaller town.
This unified approach also avoids the confusion of dealing with multiple contact numbers or different procedures depending on the region.
Pricing has also been structured to stay very competitive. Instead of paying for an entirely separate recovery product, customers can add this service to their existing Bidtrack setup at an affordable monthly rate.
This makes it accessible to families, business owners, and fleet operators who want stronger protection without increasing their operational costs. Clear, predictable pricing means users know exactly what they are paying for: faster connection, quicker response, and direct contact with teams on the ground.
Communication during an incident is another focus. Once the alert is received, the control centre keeps the driver or vehicle owner informed as the response unfolds. Real-time updates provide clarity during a stressful moment and help coordinate next steps.
This transparency adds a layer of confidence and removes the uncertainty that often occurs during emergencies.
For many drivers, the appeal lies in the simplicity. There is no new app to manage, no complex installation, and no extra hardware. The partnership uses the Bidtrack system that is already inside the vehicle. It adds a direct line to ET Rapid Response without changing how the device works or how alerts are triggered.
The focus is on improving speed and reducing gaps in communication, rather than replacing systems customers are already familiar with.
Vehicle Tracking and Recovery: ET Rapid and Bidtrack Unite!
Overall, the ET Rapid Response and Bidtrack partnership strengthens the security options available to Durban and South African drivers.
It delivers a streamlined recovery pathway that removes unnecessary delays and builds on the strengths of both companies: Bidtrack’s proven tracking technology and ET Rapid Response’s established dispatch network.
And as vehicle crime continues to challenge the country, solutions like this give drivers practical, real-world support when they need it most.
