Vehicle trackers allow you to keep tabs on your vehicle’s location in real time. They can be professionally installed in your vehicle, meaning that whenever you need to find it, you can quickly check your tracking app. This can be especially useful if your vehicle is stolen, lent to a friend, or left at your local garage for a service. Car tracking significantly improves the chances of recovering your vehicle, if ever stolen
Getting the best vehicle tracker
To get the best vehicle tracker, you need to make sure it matches your needs, whether your insurance company requires a Thatcham-approved tracker, your car has multiple drivers, or you want advanced features such as remote immobilisation, movement alerts, police response, and theft-recovery tools.
Advanced features, such as remote immobilisation, police response, and movement alerts, are included with certain tracker models (often Thatcham S5) and may require a paid monitoring subscription.
The best way to find the right tracker is to send us a quick enquiry. One of our team members will provide you with free, no-obligation advice.
Thatcham approved
You may come across the term Thatcham Approved when looking at vehicle trackers. A Thatcham-approved tracker is a security device that has undergone rigorous testing by Thatcham Research to meet strict standards for safety, design, and performance. Funded by the insurance industry, Thatcham provides engineering-grade research and data to help insurers, government bodies, vehicle manufacturers, technology companies, and the repair industry make better-informed decisions.
Insurance approved
When arranging vehicle insurance, your provider may require a tracker to be fitted before your policy can begin. This is common for high-risk vehicles such as Toyota, Range Rover, and other models that are more susceptible to theft. Many insurers require or recommend trackers, which can also help reduce premiums. Insurers may specify which Thatcham category tracker is required, most often S5 for high-risk, newer, or prestige vehicles, and S7 for others.
Vehicle trackers for business
Trackers are also widely used in commercial vehicles, particularly for fleets. In fact, a large majority of UK fleets employ GPS tracking. For example, a 2022 report by Verizon Connect showed that 71% of fleets used GPS tracking, an increase on the previous year. This makes sense, as vehicle trackers can improve customer service, increase efficiency, strengthen security, and more.
