..but which one as I now require it for my insurance.

 

Hi Mad555,
Try this web site www.tracker.co.uk .....i have the 'moniter' unit....there are three to choose from which are all insurance approved. i got a 25% discount with a-plan insurance company.hope this helps!

 

I've also got a Tracker Monitor fitted and it reduced my premium loads!

 

Go for Tracker Monitor, steer clear of the gps systems like RAC trackstar- they seem to be very unreliable.

 

If its just for insurance i would go for the cheapest approved system.
IMHO they are all crap as most pro thieves will know where they are fitted.
I know an auto electrician who reckons he could find any tracker unit within ten mins.
I have RAC trackstar as fitted as standard, my last Impreza having had a Tracker monitor which i understood isn't recognised by a lot of insurers anymore. Saying that it may have been a Tracker horizon, can't remember which now, or was it Retrieve ????

Tracker Monitor is all you should need.

There was a lower spec one Tracker Retrieve which seems to have been dropped.

I think this was because it depended on you informing Tracker your car had been stolen.

If you car moves without a key, you will be contacted.

Heard of someone parking somewhere they shouldn't have in edinburgh getting a call. Car was on its way to parking pound

 

When i was getting quotes, some companies did not insist on one. Try A-Plan and Keith Michaels and the others under the insurance section.

From what i've read the trackers are not upto much anyway.

 

It depends on who you go to for insurance.

The big companies like Privilege, Direct Line, Norwich Union will insist on it.

Shop around to see if you can get a better price without because you also have £120 yearly fee for the Tracker.

 

Yeah , I went with tesco and they demanded I have a tracker , i got a tracker retrieve and its 109.00 a year sub and 400 to fit , although deals can be had .. obviously once you sent the details off to your insurance they wont know if you pay a sub or not in the future ... so you could just get it fitted

 

RAC and Admiral dont want a tracker.

 

i have a tracker monitor fitted to my terzo told the insurance . there reply dont you think your quote is cheap enough at £450 a year fully comp.had the tracker activated at a cost of £199 for the year .

i was based in northern ireland at the time and was travelling back with a mate with an evo4 . he recieved a phone call stating his car was being moved without the keys ,we were on the ferry from larn to cairn ryan so in my experiance they work

got to be worth a bit peace of mind my 2c

 

Norwich Union didnt insist on it for me but Tesco/direct line/privilege (all the same company really) do.

As already said get the cheapest system you can if you have to.

 

Did it reduce your premium more than the yearly subscription ?

 

ive got tracker monitor too, it was a condition of my insurance had to get one fitted

 

It reduced my premium by £50, but i only pay £405 FC with protected NCD anyway!! Yay, the advantage's of being an Owd Scrowt eh!!!!!!!
