Which Tracker Do I Need?

S7: monitored tracking and recovery support

S7 provides vehicle location tracking and monitored stolen-vehicle recovery support. It does not include the driver recognition that distinguishes S5.

Our standard wired S7 package includes professional fitting. Check that your insurer accepts the exact device and fitting arrangement, and keep the required monitoring active.

S5: tracking with driver recognition

S5 adds Automatic Driver Recognition to monitored tracking, using a driver tag to help identify an authorised driver. If your policy specifies S5, do not substitute S7.

If the wording also requires immobilisation, check the S5 Plus option below. Confirm any named device and fitting requirements before ordering.

S5 Plus: S5 tracking with added immobilisation

Our S5 Plus package combines monitored tracking and driver recognition with added start protection. S5 Plus is a package description for S5 with immobilisation, rather than a separate Thatcham category.

If your policy only says “tracker with immobilisation”, ask your insurer to confirm the tracker category and exact immobilisation arrangement it accepts. Vehicle compatibility also needs checking.

For an electric or hybrid vehicle, see our EV and hybrid package or ask our team about compatibility.

Match the named device first

If your policy names a manufacturer, model or specific device, do not substitute another device without checking with your insurer or broker. A matching category or a higher price does not automatically make an alternative acceptable.

Tell our team the exact device name and tracker requirement, plus your vehicle make, model and year. We can help check what we supply; your insurer must confirm whether any alternative satisfies your policy.

Find the requirement before choosing

Check your insurance schedule and any certificate, endorsements, security conditions or insurer emails. Look for “vehicle security”, “tracking device”, “Thatcham”, “S7”, “S5”, “immobilisation” or a device name. The full requirement may be in an endorsement rather than on the certificate itself.

If you cannot find clear wording, ask your insurer or broker: “Which tracker category and exact device do you require, do I need immobilisation, and are there fitting, monitoring or activation deadlines?”

Our team can explain the options once you have the wording. Share only the relevant security requirement; you do not need to send a full policy or personal financial details.
