Trackershop has seen a significant increase in the fitting of insurance approved car trackers in Cardiff.

In the last few years, car insurance companies have become more strict on the need for monitored tracking devices being installed in vehicles. With the increase in sophisticated car theft techniques, these trackers are the most effective way of protecting your vehicle. Therefore, many car insurance providers will NOT ensure the vehicle against theft until a car tracker has been installed.

Trackershop's Mobile Installation Team cover the whole of the UK, so no matter where you are we can typically have an engineer with you within 1-3 working days.

 

WHY CAR TRACKERS IN CARDIFF

With 248 car-related crimes reported in the Cardiff area last month alone, it's understandable that both insurance companies and responsible motorists are worried about how vulnerable their vehicles currently are.

Not only are insurance providers now insisting that many vehicle models must have a car tracker fitted in Wales (Cardiff in particular) and the surrounding area, but motorists are now getting trackers fitter whether it's an insurance requirement or not.

BEST CAR TRACKERS IN WALES

Due to the increase in specific organised vehicle theft techniques, insurance approved car trackers (also known as Thatcham approved vehicle trackers) have very quickly become the most effective method of vehicle security available.

If you've never had an insurance approved car tracker before it can be a bit confusing knowing which one to choose to ensure it complies with your insurance policy.

Your insurance provider may have told you that you just need:

  • Monitored vehicle tracker
  • Thatcham approved vehicle tracker
  • Insurance approved vehicle tracker
  • CAT S5 car tracker
  • CAT S7 car tracker

Here's some further info to help you choose the correct one for your policy and your needs.

S5 TRACKERS IN CARDIFF

The CAT S5 tracker is the highest level of vehicle security available anywhere.

With the features of an S7, but with additional police authorised immobilisation (optional) and DRS (Driver Recognition System), the CAT S5 tracker ensures the quickest response time to any unauthorised use of your vehicle.

DRS protects against key theft or if the ignition is started by a thief in any way. As the owner, you will have a small identifying fob with you when you enter your vehicle.

If anyone starts the vehicle at any time without this fob, an instant alert is triggered in the control room. They are then able to take the necessary action if theft is taking place.

The CAT S5 car trackers offer the same service as the S7

With the addition of these features:

Police authorise immobilisation (optional)

DRS (Driver Recognition System)
