1. What is an insurance approved vehicle tracker?

An insurance approved vehicle tracker is a Thatcham certified device, such as S5 or S7, that meets the security standards UK insurers recognise. It provides 24/7 monitored location tracking and, in some cases, remote immobilisation, helping protect your vehicle from theft while satisfying insurer conditions for cover.

2. Which tracker brands does OJB Autocare install in Wakefield?

We install a wide range of insurance approved trackers from leading brands including Scorpion, Metatrak, and Global Telemetrics. Each brand offers Thatcham certified S5 and S7 options, and we help you choose the right one based on your vehicle and insurer requirements.

3. What's the difference between an S5 and S7 tracker?

An S5 tracker offers standalone 24/7 monitored tracking without driver recognition. An S7 tracker adds remote immobilisation and driver ID recognition via tag or fob, and is typically required for performance, prestige, or higher-risk vehicles.

4. Can a vehicle tracker lower my car insurance premium?

Yes, fitting a Thatcham approved tracker can lower your premium, particularly on vehicles classed as high theft risk. Savings vary depending on your insurer, vehicle type, and existing security features, but many Wakefield drivers see a noticeable reduction after installation.

5. Do all insurers require a vehicle tracker?

Not all insurers require a tracker, but many make it a condition of cover for high-value, high-performance, or frequently stolen vehicle models, especially those with keyless entry. Check your policy documents or renewal terms to confirm your specific requirement.

6. How do I know if I need an S5 or S7 tracker for my insurer?

Your insurance policy or renewal documents will usually specify the required Thatcham category. If you're unsure, our team can review your insurer's wording and recommend the correct tracker to ensure your installation is accepted.

7. Will an uncertified tracker be accepted by my insurance company?

No, most insurers only accept Thatcham approved installations carried out by an approved fitter. Self-installed or non-certified trackers are typically rejected for insurance compliance purposes, so professional installation is essential.

8. How long does vehicle tracker installation take at OJB Autocare?

Most tracker installations are completed within a few hours, depending on your vehicle and the tracker category being fitted. Our engineers ensure a discreet, manufacturer-approved fit with no impact on your vehicle's warranty.

9. Can I combine a tracker with a Ghost immobiliser?

Yes, many Wakefield customers fit both a tracker and a Ghost immobiliser for maximum protection, particularly for keyless entry vehicles. Insurers increasingly request this combination for vehicles at higher risk of relay theft.

10. What documentation will I receive after installation?

You'll receive a full Thatcham compliant installation certificate confirming the tracker brand, category, and fitting details. This can be submitted directly to your insurance provider for premium review or policy compliance.

Understanding

Thatcham S5

and S7 Tracker

Categories

Not all insurance-approved trackers are treated the same. UK insurers rely on Thatcham certification to determine which tracking system meets the requirements of your policy, making it essential to install the correct category. Thatcham S5 trackers provide 24/7 monitored GPS vehicle tracking and are widely accepted by insurers for standard theft protection and potential premium reductions. Thatcham S7 trackers offer enhanced security by combining continuous tracking with driver recognition through a secure tag or fob, helping distinguish authorised drivers from unauthorised use and providing an additional layer of theft protection. S7 systems are often required for high-value, performance, prestige, and some fleet vehicles. Before every installation, OJB Autocare confirms your insurer's exact tracker requirement, ensuring the device fitted meets your policy conditions and that the certification you receive is fully compliant.
