Tracker or no tracker
Well, this is a good one. I might have a tracker installed somewhere on the car , it's subscription is due soon £132 in fact.
I called A-plan and it's only £60 more on my policy if I don't have a tracker on the policy.
With tracker - Extra piece of mind that it's installed. If it's stolen I'm not sure I'd want the car back.
Without - Money saving. Is there a reconnection fee should I change my mind?

Ask yourself this: If your car is taken, do you want it back?
My opinion is its not worth paying the extra on a car that to all intents is replacable. And there is no guarantee you'll get the car back (If I know where they hide the tracker unit, then plenty of thiefs do too) or get the car back in one peice.
If I were you I'd try to negotate with your insurer and Tracker; See if A-plan will knock off £72 off your current premium if you carry on using the tracker (72+60=132) .
Try the same with tracker; see if they'll negotatiate the subscription fee based on your insurance not offering you enough incentive.
Although from experience tracker seem to be difficult with negotiating a deal, still try cancellations and give it a whizz - what have you got to lose?
Re-registering a tracker should be £29 plus the subscription fee (£132)

same for me if i didnt have the tracker subscription my insurance went up by £20 so no tracker
you would think tracker would make it worth it by getting better deals for ppl who subscribe to them
