Which offers the lowest upfront S5 price?
On these published figures, Thatcham Trackers is £50 less upfront than the £399 S5 price shown by both comparison providers.
Our own pricing is straightforward: £349 supplied and professionally fitted, followed by £10.99 per month for monitoring. That is £480.88 across the first 12 months when monitoring is paid monthly.
Using SAS Mobile's published £399 fitted price plus the £155 annual ScorpionTrack S5 monitoring figure gives an indicative first-year cost of £554. On that basis, Thatcham Trackers is £73.12 lower over the first year. Because competitor plans and promotions change, treat this as a dated price comparison rather than a permanent price guarantee.
Price isn't the only thing to compare
A lower price only represents good value if you are buying the security category you actually need. When comparing providers, first check the wording from your insurer. If the policy specifies S5, compare S5 with S5. If it specifies S5 Plus or immobilisation, comparing it with a standard S5 is not like-for-like.
What does an S5 tracker add?
S5 tracking systems add Automatic Driver Recognition to monitored stolen-vehicle tracking. The system can recognise when a vehicle is being moved without the authorised driver identification present, allowing potentially unauthorised movement to be identified.
That additional layer is one reason S5 systems are often specified for higher-value vehicles and vehicles at greater theft risk. However, your insurer decides what it requires for your particular policy.
SAS Mobile vs TrackerTeam: what should you ask each provider?
Rather than choosing from the installation price alone, ask for the complete cost over the period you expect to own the vehicle. Check whether fitting is included, what the monitoring subscription costs, whether the subscription price changes after the first year, what documentation you receive after fitting and whether the exact product satisfies your insurer's requirement.
This makes comparisons much easier and avoids finding a cheaper headline price that becomes more expensive once monitoring or installation is added.
Where does Thatcham Trackers fit into the comparison?
We have deliberately kept our standard S5 offer simple: £349 supplied and fitted plus £10.99 per month monitoring. For customers who need S5 protection and want a competitive total cost, the current figures make it worth comparing us alongside SAS Mobile and TrackerTeam.
We also offer different tracker categories, so the aim is not to sell an S5 to everybody. The correct product is the one that matches your insurer's requirement and your vehicle-security needs.
Could any of these trackers lower your insurance?
Possibly, but none should be purchased on the assumption that it guarantees a cheaper premium. Improved approved security can influence the terms offered by some insurers, while other insurers require a tracker simply as a condition of providing cover.
Always ask the insurer whether installation will affect your premium and get confirmation of the required tracker category.
