Car trackers are one of the best ways to protect your car from theft, and can speed up the process of retrieving it if your vehicle does get stolen. With over 113,000 motor vehicle thefts taking place in 2019/20, investing in vehicle theft protection is still just as important than ever. Car tracking systems monitor the position of your vehicle and because of this have over a 95% success rate in recovering cars. As they are recognised as a safety measure against vehicle theft, they can sometimes even lower insurance premiums.

Car tracker prices vary depending on the level of sophistication and features required. Some insurance providers will require specific features on a vehicle tracking device to validate a policy too, so it is important to account for this when setting your budget. However, here at ineedatracker.com, the cost of a car tracker ranges between £59.99 to £699.

When it comes to insurance approved trackers, as a minimum most insurance companies will insist on investing in the Thatcham S7 Tracker. This is usually the case if your car insurance company is insisting on a car tracker installation as a condition of cover.

As one of the leading car tracker companies in the UK, we are highly experienced and have plenty of knowledge when it comes to helping you determine the best car tracker for insurance. We would recommend that our customers opt for at least a Thatcham S5 Certified tracker for two main reasons:

1. We have experience of customers purchasing an S7 tracker but finding themselves in the unfortunate position of having to remove it when they renew their insurance and the insurer insisting on an S5 certified tracker.
2. Installing an S5 tracker opens up a wider pool of insurers willing to provide a more competitive quote. This is based on the increased likelihood of recovery in the event of theft. A recent customer of ours looking for a caravan tracker faced a £600 difference in insurance premiums between having and not having a category S5 tracking system installed in their motorhome.

The footprint of a tracker unit is quite small, around the size of a matchbox. However, a well installed tracker system would look to be integrated into the vehicle wiring. The vehicle tracking device installed will be almost invisible to the naked eye, not out of place. Our car tracker installers will ensure the system sits as though it was always part of your vehicle.

If you are wondering which car tracker is best, it is important to consider the actual vehicle itself first. The best tracker type can vary depending on the make/model of car it is going to be installed into. Whether you are looking for wireless trackers, a tracker for JLR vehicles, caravan trackers, or motorbike trackers, there are many important factors to be taken into consideration when it comes to deciding which car tracker is best for your vehicle.

We have created an article to help you decide which is the best car tracker for you.

A car tracker works through GPS satellite navigation. Once installed, the device transmits signals to the satellites orbiting the Earth’s atmosphere, establishing the vehicle’s location at all times. The data is then transmitted either to a mobile application or a third party control centre. So whether you are in possession of the information yourself, or you have chosen for the control centre to monitor your vehicle, you will always know if there is anything suspicious regarding the location or movement of your car.
