Common questions

Before you order a Thatcham tracker

How do I know if I need S7 or S5?

If the policy names S5, S7 is not a substitute. If it does not name a category, ask your insurer to confirm the device and fitting method it accepts.

Will insurers accept the certificate?

We issue a certificate after fitting, activation and checks. Ask your insurer whether it accepts the exact category, device and fitting method for your policy.

Do you fit nationwide?

We arrange mobile fitting at home or work across the UK, subject to postcode and appointment availability. Check the product page for fitting costs and inclusions.

How fast is the certificate issued?

The certificate is issued after fitting, activation and checks. Review its details and send it to your insurer if requested.

What is the difference between S5 and S5 PLUS?

S5 adds Automatic Driver Recognition to the S7 tracking spec. S5 PLUS adds engine immobilisation on top of S5.

Does S5 cost more per month than S7?

Our monthly monitoring is £10.99 for S7, S5 and S5 Plus. Choosing S5 instead of S7 does not increase our monthly fee; the upfront equipment/package price changes. Monitoring is charged separately from the tracker purchase.
