The Motor Repair Research Centre (based in Thatcham) are leaders in testing and classifying security and safety systems for vehicles. They have been testing, approving and categorising car trackers for 25 years. When you hear that a vehicle tracker is Thatcham approved it means that the trackers has passed their thorough, watertight testing process.

Your Trackershop car insurance tracker uses a combination of the latest global positioning, mobile phone and motion sensing technology available. Your tracking device is installed covertly by thatcham approved fitters, using the latest fitting techniques that will deter and prevent theft. In the event of a theft: Your insurance tracker’s motion sensor detects illegal movement (e.g. if the vehicle moves when the ignition is switched off), and sends an alert to the 24 hour control centre. They will then contact you to confirm the unauthorised use. You can also alert the control centre directly yourself. Once theft is confirmed recovery of your vehicle will be actioned immediately.

For your car insurance to be valid, all Thatcham trackers need to be fitted by a Thatcham trained engineer. The good news is the cost of fitting is included in the price of the device- so there is no additional charge for fitting, and you can rest assured knowing that your car tracker is fitted to the highest standard.

It’s likely your insurance company will have advised you on the insurance tracker that you need. The type that you need will depend on the make, model and age of the vehicle. Other factors such as location of the vehicle may have an impact.

Insurance approved vehicle trackers have been tested to ensure that they provide the very best vehicle security available. This includes counteracting tampering attempts by thieves. Most modern vehicle tracking devices use multi-roaming SIMs. Typically, this will allow the device to roam on to the next available network if there is an issue with the current one. However, if for any reason GPS/GSM is compromised, the Tracker Locate also uses anti-blocking VHF technology to locate your vehicle. Even if it is underground, in a container, or if any kind of signal jamming device is being used.
