- FAQ's
How will I find out if my car already has a tracker?
There are several different types of GPS trackers, all with different purposes and features.
Most vehicles these days will have a factory fitted tracker of some kind installed as standard.
However, these are not Thatcham approved, as they have not been tested for security.
Thatcham approved trackers need to be installed as aftermarket products. This minimises the chance of a thief locating the tracking device (factory-fitted devices are all fitted in the same location).
This is why, unless you have specifically arranged an insurance approved vehicle tracker installation in the past, it is unlikely you will already have a suitable device on your vehicle.
How do insurance approved vehicle trackers work?
Insurance approved vehicle trackers purpose is as a theft prevention/recovery device.
The two main reasons that insurance providers are insisting that vehicle tracking devices are installed are 1) theft rates for keyless entry vehicles are rising. 2) insurance approved vehicle trackers are highly effective against the most common theft methods.
With global tracking, remote immobilisation, 24/7 emergency control room and recovery response, the S5 Plus vehicle tracking device is the most comprehensive vehicle security.
