Thatcham Approved S5

Who should choose a Thatcham S5 tracker?

S5 suits drivers whose insurer requires tracking with Automatic Driver Recognition. Driver tags help identify authorised use alongside real-time 4G location tracking and monitored recovery support. Standard S5 driver recognition does not itself prevent the vehicle from starting.

View the professionally fitted Thatcham S5 tracker. The package includes the tracker, driver-recognition equipment and professional installation.

Do you need S5 with immobilisation?

If your insurer also requires No Tag, No Start or another form of start prevention, compare our S5 Plus tracking and immobilisation packages. If it accepts S7 and you do not need driver recognition, compare S7 tracking options. Always follow the policy wording.

Fitting, monitoring and insurance

For professionally fitted packages, we arrange home or work installation after confirming your vehicle, postcode and appointment. Your digital certificate is issued after installation, activation and system checks. See the installation steps.

Monitoring costs £10.99/month separately from the device price. It includes 24/7 control-room monitoring and recovery support; recovery is not guaranteed. On the monthly option, the first month is paid at checkout and later payments are arranged separately. Compare fitted prices and monitoring totals.

Your insurer decides what satisfies your policy. Follow the exact category, named device and fitting requirements; do not choose a cheaper category as a substitute. Approval does not guarantee acceptance or an insurance discount. Check which tracker your insurance requires or ask our team for help.
