If you’ve recently applied for (or renewed) your insurance for your Range Rover, it’s likely your provider insisted you install a Thatcham-approved Range Rover tracker.
So why is this?
Range Rovers are highly desirable cars that are popular with both UK hard working motorists and car thieves alike. The ongoing theft increases has subsequently led to a spike in insurance policy costs for Range Rover owners and has prompted insurance companies to insist on Thatcham accredited trackers to be installed in these cars more than ever in 2024.
With key-less car theft on the rise significantly, it’s no surprise that Range Rover models appear in the top 10 most stolen vehicles more than once!
Greater London especially has the highest number of thefts, with the home counties having several thief hot spots also.
However, regardless of location, it seems wherever you find a Range Rover, a thief is going to be close by.
The good news is that Trackershop installs the best Range Rover Trackers nationwide.
Why do I need a Range Rover Tracker
RELAY THEFT
According to UK police forces, 2024 shows no signs of Relay theft slowing as one of the quickest and most effective technique in targeting keyless entry vehicles - typically this is at night on your driveway... and takes seconds!
According to the UK police, car thieves are now using relay attack methods to steal Range Rovers by exploiting their keyless entry systems.
This technique involves mimicking the car’s key signal and tricking it into unlocking.
The spike in this type of car theft has resulted in a sharp increase in Range Rover theft statistics. Installing a security tracker means that you can locate your car, have live vehicle status updates, and (with certain models, like the ScorpionTrack S5 PLUS ) immobilise your car in case of theft.
Using a plug-in onboard diagnostics kit, the thief then creates a new key code for a generic fob that they bring with them. Once done, this allows them to just drive your vehicle away.
The scary fact is that they can typically complete all of this in under a minute- with the Range Rover owner being blissfully unaware, possibly for several more hours.
It’s understandable why this quick, simple, covert and highly effective technique has become so popular amongst car thieves.
HOW A RANGE ROVER TRACKER WILL PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE
Because of this, it is now more important than ever to ensure you have a Thatcham-approved vehicle tracker fitted for your Range Rover.
Thieves are a lot more sophisticated and it is just not enough to rely on the factory-fitted security for your vehicle these days.
The fact is, if a thief is targeting your vehicle then there is a very high chance that they will successfully be able to take it.
A Thatcham tracker for Range Rovers minimises the chance of theft and substantially improves the recovery rate if a thief manages to take your vehicle. It is also very likely that installing a Thatcham-approved tracker will result in a reduction in your car insurance- saving you money in the long term.
Reduced Insurance Policy Costs: The escalating Range Rover theft statistics have contributed to higher insurance policy costs. Most insurance companies now require owners to have Thatcham accredited trackers installed in their Range Rovers to help combat thefts. Installing a tracker helps you get significant discounts and reduced costs in your car insurance policy, given the fact that your car is less vulnerable to getting stolen.
Additional Security Products: Even if your insurance provider is not asking for an immobiliser to also be installed alongside your Range Rover tracker, it pays to be proactive by adding this security also.
Combining an S5 tracker and Ghost Immobiliser practically makes your Range Rove unstealable!
The Ghost Immobiliser that offer an invisible added layer of vehicle security. Once installed, the Ghost enables the driver to disarm a hidden sequence before starting the car, which completely minimises the risk of car theft.
