Whether you’ve got a brand new Range Rover Velar, or a classic Bentley which only comes out for a Sunday afternoon spin, a luxury car deserves the best protection. Here at Trackerfit, we stock and install a great range of luxury car trackers.
Protect Your Luxury Car Against Theft
Recent data released by the Home Office reports that there were 101,198 car thefts in 2021. This undoubtedly includes a high proportion of luxury car models, as Range Rover, BMW and Mercedes all feature in the top 10 most stolen cars in the UK.
Thieves have developed increasingly sophisticated car theft techniques to target luxury cars. The age of the smash and grab has gone. Now thieves use technology to hijack the signal from wireless car keys and enter the vehicle with ease. Without a Thatcham approved car tracker, car owners have very little chance of ever seeing their vehicle again.
A Thatcham approved car tracker provides the best chance of recovering stolen vehicles. Thatcham approved Category 5 car trackers have the following security features:
-
GPS tracking system - this allows the vehicle’s location to be monitored in real time, with pinpoint accuracy.
-
Driver identification device - car owners will be provided with a driver identification device (like a fob or card) which must be present when the car is started or the system will alert to a theft. This provides an extra layer of protection for your vehicle.
-
Monitored 24/7 by a remote security centre - operators will monitor your vehicle’s location and alert to a theft. That means even if you’re asleep whilst thieves strike, the remote security team can take immediate action to recover the vehicle.
-
Vehicle motion sensors - even if thieves attempt to roll or tow the vehicle, the tracker will still alert to a theft.
Luxury Car Trackers for Insurance
Most insurance providers will require the installation of a Thatcham approved car tracker in a luxury car, particularly for high end cars like Bugatti or Ferrari. This shows the faith that the insurance industry have in luxury car trackers to recover stolen vehicles.
Car trackers may also have the welcome effect of lowering your car insurance premium. This is because insurance companies recognise that car trackers provide the best chance of recovering your car, meaning they won’t have to pay out for a new one. Check with your insurance company whether installing a luxury car tracker will lower your insurance premium.
