£179 fitted and £124 subscription per year for the basic retrieve option.
I'm thinking about it.
Anyone got one? How much did you save in insurance?
-
I have one fitted to my car, reduced the premium by just under £40.
I am only paying £7.50 per month subscrition though.
-
i would only get one if my insurance made me have one... they used to be a deterent, not so much any more

When I checked a year ago, my thieving Insurance Company offered me a £20 discount.
Just had a quote from Saga. £300 fully comp with a £75 excess. Must ask them about a Tracker discount.

Hi mustard
Do Tracker provide any visual warnings such as key fobs or stickers in the car?
How did you get the cheaper subscription?
Any thieving scum would think twice if they knew a tracker was fitted, do Tracker provide any sort of deterrent?
-
No stickers on the car, I wasn't even supposed to see where they put it, but I watched the guy install it, so no deterant value
You get a key fob, which is more a return your keys if you loose them them advertising.
When I was getting a quote before I bought the car, one company (LV) would not insure me unless I had it fitted, and the one I went with gave me two quotes, one with and one without. I had to send them the invoice to prove I had fitted it after I bought the car.

Mustard: Who fitted your Tracker? Company name, please? If you don't mind. :smiley:
-
Thanks mustard
The only thing that concerns me is someone breaking in during the night and sneaking upstairs (I always take my keys upstairs (I know the arguments but I'm not going to make it easy for the scum).
If they see tracker on the keyfob (if they can read that is), surely they'll think twice.

Admiral were £350 with a £100 excess. :tongue:
How much do you pay, pray? :rolleyes:
-
Thats not bad either TBH, if my car got stolen i don't think i'd want it back, i think that might be one of the reasons i got GAP.
-
I don't have a tracker but i do have a GSM system that i can track that also phones me if the car is broken into. Theres quite a few companies do similar systems to what i have.

Please tell Snoops.
-
Its just a GSM pager with a pay as you go phone sim card that phones upto 10 pre programmed numbers (you set it up with) until it gets a reply. If you register the sim card phone number with one of the many mobile phone tracking sites (designed to track your kids mobiles) you can track its location.
-
I had Tracker on my previous car - more for my benefit/peace of mind than anything else!
It's not designed as a detterent but is designed to return your vehicle to you thereby reducing the insurance companies costs and making your future premiums lower (as it would be a repair rather than a total loss on the insurance record)
When professional thieves take the car they will often leave the car in a quiet lane/street and return to it some time later (i.e. 24 hours+) to see if a Tracker type device has been triggered and the vehicle recovered!
I've not bothered on the GTD as the premium discount didn't make much difference vs the cost of install and subscription.

This is mine!

I've got a Tracker on my Mk5 GTI, didn't effect my insurance but it's piece of mind for me. I got mine through Tracker UK and a local guy came and fitted it. I paid £300 as one off subscription for as long as I keep the car.
-
If mine got nicked i wouldnt want it back , so tracker is a waist of money IMO . Just get the insurance to show me the money :rolleyes:
