FAQS

Fitting an insurance-approved (Thatcham-compliant) GPS tracker may help with insurance requirements and, in some cases, can contribute towards a lower premium. This always depends on your insurer and policy.

Professional Retrofist Ltd installs Thatcham-approved GPS tracking systems for cars, motorhomes, and campervans, supporting customers across Coventry, Nuneaton, and Leicester. These systems are designed for stolen vehicle tracking and recovery and are widely recognised by insurance providers.

While a tracker does not guarantee a premium reduction, many insurers require or strongly recommend an approved GPS tracker for higher-value vehicles. We always advise confirming requirements directly with your insurer.

If your vehicle is moved without the authorised Driver Detection card present, the GPS tracking system will alert the Secure Control Centre, who may contact you to confirm the status of your vehicle.

If the vehicle is confirmed as stolen, it must be reported to the police as soon as possible so that a crime reference or incident number can be issued. Once you have this information, you should then contact your GPS Tracking Control Centre, who will work with the police to support vehicle tracking and recovery.

The installation of a GPS tracker in Coventry typically takes about 2 hours, depending on the specific model and features required. During your wait, we offer complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits for your comfort, along with free Wi-Fi access to keep you connected.
