Thatcham-approved vehicle trackers from the UK's leading tracker brands and Thatcham guide
For over two decades, Thatcham Research has been at the forefront of vehicle security. They introduced the New Vehicle Security Assessment (NVSA) and a classification system for vehicle alarms, immobilisers, and trackers to combat vehicle crime. These initiatives have provided vehicle owners with confidence in the safety and security features of their purchases.
Installing an insurance approved tracker may be a requirement of your insurer or just a great way to get lower premiums. You’ll likely need to install one if you have a high-value vehicle. And those will need to be approved by Thatcham, the independent testing body for aftermarket vehicles systems. As the industry standard since the 90s, all insurance approved trackers will be Thatcham approved.
At Trackerteam, insurance approved trackers are our standard too. We have a full range of durable trackers available. And we’ll install them too. Our UK-wide network of Thatcham approved engineers will attend your residence or work site to install the insurance approved trackers via magnetic or hardwired means. Need more? We have additional equipment to secure your vehicle including tamper alerts, dash cams and more.
A Thatcham approved tracker is a stolen vehicle recovery system that has passed the independent testing standards set by Thatcham Research, the body that has classified vehicle security in the UK since the 1990s. Insurers recognise these devices because their design, performance and recovery record can be trusted, unlike cheap overseas units sold with no guarantee. At Tracker Team we supply and fit the full range of Thatcham trackers from the UK's leading manufacturers, including ScorpionTrack, SmarTrack, Trackstar and Meta Trak, so you can choose the right system rather than being pushed towards a single brand.
Many insurers now require a Thatcham approved tracker before they will cover a high-value vehicle, and fitting one can also reduce your premium. Beyond the insurance benefit, an approved tracker gives you a genuine chance of getting your vehicle back, with live location tracking, movement and tow-away alerts and a 24/7 monitoring centre that works directly with the police. Thatcham trackers are endorsed by most major car makers and work throughout Europe as standard.
Thatcham trackers were formerly known as Cat 5 and Cat 6, and are now split into two categories. Category S5 is the highest specification, adding Automatic Driver Recognition tags that alert the control room if the vehicle is moved without an authorised driver, ideal for prestige and high-risk vehicles. Category S7 is the most affordable insurance approved option and suits mid-range and everyday cars. If your insurer has told you which category you need, that decides it. If not, our team will help you match the right system to your vehicle and budget.
Free fitting is included on every tracker, carried out at your home, work or dealership, usually within 24 to 72 hours of your enquiry. We are fully TASSA and Thatcham approved, and we do not push our engineers to rush through ten jobs a day. They take the time to hide the unit properly so it cannot be found easily, which is exactly what matters if a thief goes looking for it. A subscription is required for any tracker to operate and for control room monitoring to stay active. Call 0800 246 5538 or request a callback for help choosing.
