As a Range Rover owner, you have most likely heard more than enough about the high crime rate attached to the popular 4x4s. This is particularly more prominent around London and the home counties, where the levels of theft far exceed any other area of the UK.

Unfortunately, there is a good reason why this is such a hot topic of conversation. There are now three models of Range Rover in the top 10 list of the UK’s most stolen vehicles- with the Range Rover Sport taking the number 1 spot overall.

It is a worrying time to be a Range Rover owner, as both their high value and popularity have contributed to Range Rovers becoming sitting ducks for persistent and highly skilled car thieves.

 

This is why insurance approved/Thatcham accredited CAT 5 trackers for Range Rovers have become a standard request by insurance companies in 2024.

As a Range Rover owner, when you purchased your vehicle (or renewed your insurance policy) it is likely that your insurance company asked you to install a Thatcham-approved tracking device.

Even so, you may still have a few questions surrounding the issue. We will do our best to answer any questions you have about why you need a Range Rover CAT 5 tracker, and which one is best for you. 

Why are Range Rovers at such a high risk of theft?

Range Rovers are the most popular luxury 4×4 and can exceed £160,000 in value when purchased new. In addition to this, the re-sale value is still extremely high, as they depreciate at a much lower level than most vehicles. Therefore they retain their value a lot longer, which is appealing to thieves.

They are popular throughout the world, so can be sold overseas easily. This also makes them nearly impossible to trace without a tracker, and can be in a shipping container out at sea within hours of being stolen! In this kind of scenario, the chance of recovery is pretty much non-existent. 

THE BEST CAT 5 RANGE ROVER TRACKERS

Therefore, in 2024, most insurers will insist on the CAT S5 Tracker for Range Rover models.  

Trackershop provides the quickest Nationwide mobile installation.

No matter what category tracker or vehicle security you need, we have you covered within 1-3 working days. 

 

S5 TRACKER FOR RANGE ROVER 

The CAT S5 Tracker for Range Rover is the newest and officially the highest level of Thatcham accredited vehicle security. 

All Thatcham-approved trackers must have a 24/7 monitoring control room service in place as standard. Insurance providers need to know that, in the unfortunate event of your car being stolen, they have the absolute highest chance of ensuring a safe and speedy return. 

The main additional security feature for the S5 tracker is the DRS (Driver Recognition System). As the authorised driver, you will have a small fob that you keep with you whilst using the vehicle. 

This means that, if anyone ever moves your vehicle (with or without the key), an instant alert is triggered in the control room. This defends your vehicle against key theft, key cloning, relay theft, and OBD hacking; which are the most common and successful theft methods currently being used throughout the UK. 

 

S5 Tracker Features:

  • Thatcham category S5 quality assured
  • 24/7 monitoring service
  • DRS (Driver Recognition System)
  • Movement Alerts 
  • Battery Tamper / Theft Alerts 

As an optional extra you can also select to have a proactive immobilisation feature added.

This will be the ScorpionTrack S5 PLUS, and you can read more about this further down the page. 

 

Why is my insurance company only now insisting on a CAT S5 Range Rover Tracker?

Many Range Rover owners may have previously been able to insure their vehicle without having a tracker installed. However in the past 2 years, due to the success rate for the recovery of vehicles with a Thatcham Approved tracker installed, many insurers are recognising the clear benefit. They are therefore now insisting that a tracker is fitted for both new and existing policies.

Therefore, it might have been an initial shock when attempting to renew your policy that you are asked to install a tracker on your existing vehicle. 

Developing the effectiveness of factory-fitted car security is a huge ongoing priority for all car manufacturers. Over the last 30 years, there have been some incredible advancements in the levels of theft prevention security.

Alas, with each development thieves are always only a few steps behind. Using key cloning and electronic hacking technology organised car crime rings have been able to sidestep factory security and even use it to their own advantage!

With fast-moving car thieves, the quickest possible response time is imperative in ensuring vehicle theft prevention and/or recovery. With a Range Rover CAT 5, any unauthorised entry, activity, or tampering to your vehicle is instantly detected by our fully staffed control centres. They can react straight away, tracking your vehicle whilst liaising with the police to ensure any attempted theft is stopped in its tracks!

How do I get my Range Rover CAT 5 installed?

We are aware that you may have never heard of Thatcham CAT 5 trackers until recently. Therefore, you may not know where to start with finding the right one and how to get it installed. Insurance companies can be unhelpful with guiding you in the right direction.

Trackershop can advise you on the best Range Rover CAT 5 for you and we also take care of the fitting too. We have mobile fitters covering every UK postcode. All you need to do is let us know where and when you would like your installation and our team will take care of everything!

 

The fact is, there are so many positives in installing a CAT 5, and at the end of the day, this is all done to protect your vehicle and you from the inconvenience, heart ache and expense of your vehicle being stolen.

The added peace of mind and knowing that your vehicle is protected at the highest level also allows you to enjoy your luxury 4×4 every day in the way that you deserve to.

With Range Rover theft being so topical and constantly being covered in the media, it is hard to escape the worry. The good news is that simply having a CAT 5 tracker installed eliminates the constant risk and worry that Range Rover owners experience. It defeats the point of having a luxury 4×4 if you spend the whole time wondering if it will still be on your driveway when you wake up the next morning. The peace of mind that comes with the protection from a CAT 5 is worth it alone.


WHICH IS THE BEST RANGE ROVER CAT 5 FOR ME?

Choosing the best CAT S5 for your Range Rover can seem a tad daunting as there are now a number of choices on the market.

It may seem difficult to differentiate the benefits of each device- however, the bottom line is that all CAT S5 trackers will have been fully tested and categorised by the Thatcham test centre.

This means that the tracker will have had to pass a meticulous range of high-level security tests and require specific features in order to gain the CAT S5 status.

However, there are a few differing qualities between each one, mainly surrounding the method that you pay your subscription and the overall cost of your tracking unit. 

Trackershop provides the quickest mobile installation for all car insurance trackers nationwide for all Range Rover Trackers for insurance.

With this said, the most popular CAT 5 tracker for Range Rover currently is the Scorpiontrack S5.
