S7 Car Trackers – FAQs
What is a Thatcham-approved S7 car tracker?
S7 trackers are insurance-approved stolen-vehicle recovery systems that use GPS and GSM technology to locate and recover your vehicle if it’s stolen. They provide 24/7 control-centre monitoring and are accepted by most major UK insurers.
Do S7 trackers include immobilisation?
No – immobilisation features are only included on higher-level S5 trackers. S7 devices focus on live tracking and police-assisted recovery. If you want remote immobilisation or driver-recognition tags, see our S5 car trackers.
Is installation included in the price?
Yes. All S7 car trackers purchased from GPS-CarTrackers.com include nationwide installation by our accredited engineers. We come to your home or workplace at a convenient time and provide an insurance-approved installation certificate upon completion.
Will my insurer accept an S7 tracker?
Almost all UK insurers accept Thatcham-approved S7 trackers for vehicles that don’t require immobilisation. For high-value or performance cars, your insurer may request an S5 tracker instead — check with them before purchase if unsure.
Are there any ongoing subscription costs?
Yes. All S7 trackers require a monitoring subscription for 24/7 tracking and control-centre response. Prices vary by brand — for example, SmarTrack and Meta Trak plans start around £149 per year. Subscriptions can be arranged directly through us after installation.
Can I track my car myself via a mobile app?
Yes. All our S7 trackers include a smartphone app showing your vehicle’s live location, journey history, and movement alerts. In the event of theft, tracking is managed by the secure monitoring centre in coordination with the police.
What vehicles are compatible with S7 trackers?
S7 trackers can be fitted to most vehicles — cars, vans, motorhomes, classic or prestige vehicles — including hybrid and electric models. Our engineers will confirm suitability when booking your installation.
How do I arrange installation?
Once you order an S7 tracker, we’ll contact you to confirm your installation date and location. You can also book your installation online or call 0115 648 5310 for immediate assistance.
