Does a Tracker Reduce Car Insurance?

As every motorist knows car insurance premiums have rocketed in recent years with some drivers, such as younger male drivers or those living in what are deemed to be high-risk areas, being penalised more heavily than others.

As a result some insurers now offer lower premiums to drivers who install Thatcham Accredited GPS devices in their cars.

The ones offered by insurance companies are generally used for the purpose of monitoring a person's driving and enable the insurer to reduce or increase the driver's premium according to how well or badly he or she drives. There can often be certain restrictions imposed such as a curfew on night-time driving for instance. At TrackerShop we offer GPS Trackers which do so much more than that. Our tracking systems are not about monitoring your driving, rather they are all about keeping your car safe and secure.

How Will My GPS Tracker work

A GPS tracker uses a combination of global positioning, mobile phone and motion sensor technology to accurately pinpoint and monitor a vehicle's position. If someone tries to illegally interfere with your car the device's motion sensor detects this and sends an alert to a control centre. After confirmation from you, the police are involved and the vehicle is tracked until it is found.

Latest technology from TrackerShop

We have available a large range of tracking devices to suit all needs and budgets. All are easy to set up and use and demonstrate a multitude of special features. For instance, you can monitor real-time tracking from your phone, tablet or pc using a free tracking app. For company vehicles, we supply a Tracker which utilises the latest advanced tracker history mapping panel and also provides extensive data showing routes taken with speed and mileage driven. 

Currently, the most effective theft recovery tracking device, and therefore, the most popular, is the Thatcham CAT S5 Tracking System.

With 24/7 control room monitoring, live location tracking, driver recognition, and a 96% recovery rate, it is understandable why this is the most popular tracker to help you save money on your car insurance.

How Much Does a Tracker Reduce Your Insurance?

How much a tracker will reduce your insurance costs will vary depending on your provider, vehicle and the underwriting around theft at any given time.

However, it makes perfect sense that an insurer will be encouraging of motorists looking to further protect their asset.

Having a Tracker fitted to your vehicle means that police will find your car much quicker if it gets stolen. Equally importantly, your insurance company will see the benefit of having a Tracker in your car. Once you inform them you have had the device installed as an extra security and protection measure they will most likely offer you a lower premium to reflect your efforts to prevent your car from being stolen. Make sure you mention this to them after the Tracker is installed in your car then sit back and watch your premiums fall.
