GPS tracker supply & installation service for insurance-approved systems.
What’s included with our GPS tracker installation
We supply and install insurance-recognised GPS tracking systems that are designed to work with a Secure Control Centre. As a result, if the vehicle is reported missing, the monitoring team can support tracking and recovery processes using the tracker’s location data.
- Tracker supply and installation: hard-wired GPS tracking unit installed neatly for dependable operation.
- Secure Control Centre monitoring: subscription-based monitoring (where required by the tracker category) to support recovery workflows.
- Driver recognition (where applicable): some Thatcham categories include driver ID to help confirm authorised use.
- Optional immobilisation (only where approved): available on certain systems, and typically actioned via the monitoring centre in accordance with insurer and police guidance.
- Handover and paperwork: confirmation of the installed system for your records and, where relevant, for your insurer.
Thatcham categories and insurance requirements (S5 vs S7)
If you’re asking “Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance?”, the most accurate answer is: it depends on your insurer and your policy wording. However, many UK insurers specify a Thatcham-approved category, so choosing the right system matters.
- Thatcham S7: a tracking category focused on stolen vehicle tracking and recovery via a Secure Control Centre. It is often suitable when an insurer asks for a recognised tracker without driver recognition.
- Thatcham S5: includes tracking and monitoring, and it also adds driver recognition. Therefore, it is commonly requested when insurers want an added layer of confirmation that the vehicle is being used by an authorised driver.
Although a Thatcham-approved tracker is recognised by many insurers, requirements vary and can change. Consequently, we recommend checking your insurer’s exact wording before booking, and we will help you select a suitable category based on that requirement. A tracker supports visibility and recovery; it does not prevent theft on its own.
Tracking & recovery support
When a vehicle is reported missing, a monitored tracker can support location reporting and coordination through the Secure Control Centre. Additionally, if you already have an existing compatible tracker, we can discuss whether it can be linked, reactivated, or replaced; alternatively, we can install a new hard-wired unit to meet the required category.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on a BMW X2 M35i xDrive?
Some insurers require a Thatcham-approved tracker as a policy condition, while others only recommend it. Therefore, check your policy wording for the required category (often S5 or S7) and any monitoring requirements, and then choose a system that matches.
Which tracker category is suitable: S5 or S7?
If your insurer specifies driver recognition, S5 is commonly requested. However, if the requirement is for a monitored tracking system without driver recognition, S7 may be acceptable. We can help you interpret the wording and select a suitable option.
Will a tracker stop my vehicle being stolen?
No. A tracker supports visibility and recovery by providing location data and monitoring via a Secure Control Centre, but it does not prevent theft on its own.
Is immobilisation included?
Some insurance-approved systems offer an immobilisation feature, but availability depends on the tracker category and provider. Additionally, where offered, it is typically controlled through the monitoring centre and used in line with policy and police guidance.
Do you offer mobile fitting at my home or workplace?
Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop.
How long does GPS tracker installation take?
Times vary by tracker type and vehicle configuration. Therefore, we confirm an estimated duration when you book, and we schedule your appointment accordingly.
What do I need to provide for activation and monitoring?
Most monitored trackers require owner details and vehicle information for registration, and some require ID checks. Consequently, we’ll tell you what’s needed during booking so activation can be completed smoothly.
Can you replace an existing tracker or reactivate a lapsed subscription?
Often, yes. Depending on the existing unit and monitoring provider, we can advise whether reactivation is possible or whether a replacement is the better route to meet insurer requirements.
Important
Insurance requirements vary by provider and policy. Always confirm the exact tracker category required by your insurer before booking.
