Thatcham tracker prices

How much does a Thatcham tracker cost?

The total cost has two parts: the upfront price of the tracker package and ongoing monitoring. The store currently lists fitted Thatcham S7, S5 and S5 Plus products. Their starting prices appear below and update with the products. Monitoring for these fitted systems is £10.99 per month. Check each product page for exactly what the upfront price includes, as options and fitting terms can vary.

If your insurance schedule names a category, use that category first. The lowest priced tracker is not automatically suitable: an S7 system does not meet a requirement that explicitly names S5. A Thatcham category is a security certification, while acceptance for a particular policy is decided by the insurer. Confirm the model, activation and subscription with your insurer before ordering.

Compare S7, S5 and S5 Plus

S7 is the asset location category. It is relevant when the insurer accepts S7 for your vehicle. S5 adds driver recognition and is the category to check when your policy names S5. S5 Plus combines tracking with immobilisation on the relevant system. Check the precise specification and insurer acceptance, as a separate immobiliser alongside an S7 tracker is not automatically an S5 Plus system.

What does the monthly subscription cover?

The £10.99 monthly monitoring charge is separate from the upfront fitted product price. It supports the active monitored tracking service. Review the terms for alert handling, service activation and renewal on the specific product before checkout. If you already have factory tracking, check whether it is active, what category it holds and whether your insurer accepts it for your registration.

What should I check before paying?

• Read the insurer's exact S7, S5 or other security wording and ask about any approved product list.
• Check the product's installation method, upfront price and monthly charge.
• Confirm when the service activates and what certificate or installation record you will receive.
• Ask your insurer whether your policy requires the tracking subscription to remain active.

Is a tracker without a subscription cheaper?

A device with no monitoring commitment can have a different purpose from a monitored system required by an insurer. Compare the full term you expect to keep the vehicle, including fitting and any monitoring charges, and confirm that the exact active system satisfies your policy.
