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?
