Your tracker certificate

Our fitted S7 and S5 trackers include a certificate after installation, activation and checks. Confirm the exact device and fitting requirements with your insurer.

Some insurers offer savings for approved devices. Comfort Insurance describes a 5% motorhome discount for Aviva-approved tracking devices. Caravan Guard describes a 25% motorhome discount for devices it approves, with a maximum security-device discount of 25%. These are specific motorhome examples, not guaranteed savings for cars or every S7/S5 device. Ask your insurer to confirm eligibility, the exact device and your quoted premium before buying.

Common questions

Before you order a Thatcham tracker

How do I know if I need S7 or S5?

Read the tracker clause on your insurance schedule. If it names S5 or Category 5, S7 is not a substitute. If it does not specify a category, ask your insurer which device and fitting method it accepts.

Will insurers accept the certificate?

We issue a certificate after the tracker is fitted, activated and checked. 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. Please confirm 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.
