i got one ,told them it wasnt activated they said wasn,t worth it anyway would only save me £18

for 1 years contract over £120

so didn,t bother

but the alarm i got has that option as well and only £60 a year so went with that

Looks like i should change insurance company then, its the 120 a year on the top of everything else that sucks.

I got one as well, insurance was cheaper and easier.

Has anyone tried those ones using a sim card lets you track the car online? Plus other features.

When I renewed my insurance a couple of months ago I went for the lowest price through a comparison site. When I called the company to do the deal, they said that I would have to have a working tracker on the car, or I'd have no cover for theft which kind of made the policy from my point of view pretty pointless.

I then called Direct Line and got a price which was only a few quid more than the best quote off the comparison site, so took them up on their offer. No stipulation in respect of a tracker and found the attitude over the phone friendly and helpful.

This highlights how daft the insurance companies can be! I'm with Privilege who are part of the same group as Direct Line & share the same offices and they insisted on a tracker or no over for theft!

So has anyone used one of these trackers off ebay? Ones that take a sim card? To me they sound better than the normal ones.

Weird I was with direct line and they wouldnt insure without a Tracker!....

Think a lot depends on postcode and value of vehicle my insurance doesn't require one and can't save a worthwhile amount by having one fitted so couldn't see the point.

Would you really want your car back if it had been stolen? If your answer is yes, then go for a Tracker. If you'd rather not, go without and hope it doesn't get recovered in the event of it being stolen.

I just recently renewed my insurance and they weren't too bothered about the tracker, I have one but it was uneconomical to activate it, It's in the Insurance companies intrest to activate it if it got stolen, Try A-Plan insurance or Sky, I found them most competitive.

I got my Insurance through Chris@A-plan and i also didnt require the activation of the Tracker
