Services
OJB Autocare install a wide range of insurance approved S5 & S7 trackers from leading brands including Scorpion, Metatrak, Global Telemetrics and more. Thatcham approved S7 and S5 tracking devices are recognised by insurance companies and can help lower insurance premiums by enhancing your vehicle's security.
-
S5 trackers are GPS-based tracking devices designed for standard vehicle protection. They provide continuous location monitoring and are typically the minimum specification required by insurers for mid-range vehicles or those with a moderate theft risk rating. An S5 tracker allows the vehicle to be located quickly in the event of theft, with data shared directly with a 24/7 monitoring centre and, where necessary, the police.
For Doncaster drivers whose insurance policy specifies an S5-rated device, our technicians install and activate the system on the same day, providing you with the documentation your insurer requires.
-
S7 trackers build on the S5 specification by adding driver identification technology, typically via a wireless tag or fob. This means the system can distinguish between authorised and unauthorised drivers, triggering an alert if the vehicle is driven without the recognised tag present. Many insurers require S7-rated trackers for higher-value vehicles, performance cars, and vehicles with a history of being targeted for theft.
This additional layer of driver verification makes S7 trackers a preferred choice for comprehensive policies on newer or higher-spec vehicles across Doncaster.
-
For vehicles requiring the highest level of insurer-recognised security, we also fit S7+ systems. These combine GPS tracking, driver ID recognition, and enhanced tamper detection, offering maximum protection for premium, imported, or previously recovered vehicles. If your insurance provider has flagged your vehicle as higher risk, an S7+ tracker is often the most effective way to maintain affordable cover.

Who Needs an Insurance
Approved Tracker in
Doncaster?
Insurance-approved vehicle trackers are beneficial for all drivers, but they are especially important for owners of high-value and performance vehicles, where insurers often require Thatcham S7 or S7+ systems as a condition of cover. They are also commonly recommended for imported vehicles, previously stolen and recovered cars, leased vehicles, and commercial fleets that need enhanced security and operational visibility. In addition, drivers in higher-risk areas around Doncaster, particularly those with easy access to major routes such as the A1(M) and M18, may find that an approved tracker is required by their insurer or helps provide greater protection and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An insurance approved vehicle tracker is a GPS tracking device certified to Thatcham standards, typically rated S5 or S7. These devices are recognised by UK insurers as effective anti-theft protection and can qualify vehicle owners for reduced premiums, as they allow rapid location and recovery in the event of theft.
-
An S5 tracker offers GPS location tracking only, suited to standard vehicles. An S7 tracker adds driver identification technology via a tag or fob, alerting the monitoring centre if the vehicle moves without an authorised driver present. Insurers often require S7 for higher-value or higher-risk vehicles.
-
In most cases, yes. Insurers view Thatcham-approved trackers as a significant risk reduction measure, since they improve recovery rates after theft.
