In 2019 it has become a common insurance policy proviso that motorists must install a Thatcham Approved car tracker in to their vehicle in order for them to be fully covered for theft.
However, what is the procedure for companies that have multiple vehicles?
Many business owners are now being told by their insurance providers that they must install car trackers to their company vehicles to protect them against theft.
This is particularly the case for companies with sales reps and executives who might have high end luxury and sport based models by Mercedes, Range Rover Audi, BMW etc.
Whether these vehicles are purchased or leased a Thatcham Approved Car Tracker will ensure a quick recovery in the event of theft.
Initially, this may come as a bit of a shock. However the benefits and protection that these tracking devices provide is vital under the current climate. With 78% of vehicle theft never resulting in a conviction, and the majority of stolen vehicles (without a tracking device) never being recovered you can quickly see the turmoil it can cause companies if a vehicle is stolen.
THE DIRECT AND INDIRECT COST OF VEHICLE THEFT
100% of stolen vehicles that had a GPS car tracker installed by Trackershop have been successfully recovered and promptly returned to their owners.
INSTALLING CAR INSURANCE TRACKERS FOR COMPANIES
At Trackershop, we know how busy companies are on a daily basis without extra tasks and responsibilities thrown in to the mix.
This is why our Installs Team is available to quickly advise on the best car trackers for your company fleet. Our Thatcham approved engineers are mobile and will be able to visit your vehicles at any UK post code.
We can also offer discounts for block booking if several vehicles have their trackers installed at the same time and location.
Here are some more benefits of having your car trackers installed with Trackershop
No need for vehicles to be taken off the road
Trackershop's engineers cover every UK postcode and can install your devices during working hours. This may be at work, home, at the dealership or even whilst the vehicle is on the road at appointments any where in the country.
Our engineers are thorough, swift and efficient, and will have your car tracker fitted typically within an hour. This speedy fitting service means that your working day will not be impacted.
Quick appointment times (1-3 working days)
Without a Thatcham approved tracker installed, insurance policies will not cover the vehicle in the event of theft. This is a worrying situation for any individual, however if you have multiple vehicles that are not fully covered it can be even more stressful.
Trackershop have the largest network of engineers, ensuring that we can always provide the quickest fitting time, minimising the stress and sleepless nights that can come from knowing your vehicle is vulnerable.
Our current lead time is 1-3 working days in the majority of post codes throughout the UK.
Fully Transferable Tracking Devices
Particularly in the event of leasing you may find that you change your company vehicles regularly.
This is not a problem if you have Thatcham approved car trackers installed, as your tracking devices are fully transferable to another vehicle any time.
Pay Monthly Subscription options
The benefits of the Smartrack Thatcham approved tracking devices is that you have the option to pay for your subscription monthly, instead of paying up front for the whole year.
This means that you have less of an initial outlay, with payment broken down throughout the year. When you have several vehicles this can be a huge relief.
