S5 vs S7 – which GPS tracker do I need?

If your insurer only requires theft recovery tracking (no driver recognition), an S7 car tracker may be suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Insurance Approved Car Trackers

What is an insurance approved car tracker?

An insurance approved car tracker is a professionally installed vehicle tracking system that meets recognised security standards required by many UK insurers. These systems provide live GPS tracking, 24/7 monitoring and rapid stolen vehicle recovery to help protect your vehicle against modern theft.

What is the difference between an S5 and an S7 tracker?

An S5 tracker includes Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR), which alerts the monitoring centre if your vehicle moves without the authorised driver tag present. An S7 tracker provides professional GPS tracking and stolen vehicle recovery but does not include Driver Recognition. Your insurer will normally advise which system is required.

Do I need an insurance approved tracker for my vehicle?

Many insurers require an approved tracker for prestige, performance and high-value vehicles such as Range Rover, Porsche, BMW M models, Audi RS, Mercedes-AMG, Bentley and Aston Martin. If you're unsure, our team can help confirm your insurer's requirements.

Can I monitor my vehicle using my smartphone?

Yes. Most of our insurance approved tracking systems include a smartphone app or secure online portal, allowing you to view your vehicle's live location, journey history and security alerts wherever you are.

What happens if my vehicle is stolen?

If your vehicle is stolen, the Secure Operating Centre is alerted immediately. The monitoring team works directly with the police to help locate and recover your vehicle as quickly as possible, significantly improving recovery rates.

How long does installation take?

Most insurance approved trackers are professionally installed within 2 to 3 hours by one of our experienced nationwide mobile engineers at your home or workplace.

Will I receive an insurance certificate?

Yes. Once your tracking system has been installed and activated, you will receive confirmation that your insurance approved tracker is operational. This can be supplied to your insurer if required.

Can I transfer my tracker to another vehicle?

Many insurance approved tracking systems can be professionally removed and transferred to another compatible vehicle. Our team can advise whether your existing tracker is suitable for transfer.

Which tracker brands do you install?

We supply and install leading insurance approved tracking systems including Smartrack, Meta Trak, Vodafone Automotive, ScorpionTrack and Tracker, all professionally installed by our experienced nationwide engineers.
