When it comes to insurance approved trackers, as a minimum most insurance companies will insist on investing in the Thatcham S7 Tracker. This is usually the case if your car insurance company is insisting on a car tracker installation as a condition of cover.
As one of the leading car tracker companies in the UK, we are highly experienced and have plenty of knowledge when it comes to helping you determine the best car tracker for insurance. We would recommend that our customers opt for at least a Thatcham S5 Certified tracker for two main reasons:
We have experience of customers purchasing an S7 tracker but finding themselves in the unfortunate position of having to remove it when they renew their insurance and the insurer insisting on an S5 certified tracker.
Installing an S5 tracker opens up a wider pool of insurers willing to provide a more competitive quote. This is based on the increased likelihood of recovery in the event of theft. A recent customer of ours looking for a caravan tracker faced a £600 difference in insurance premiums between having and not having a category S5 tracking system installed in their motorhome.
