Tracker??

[lowrider82]

I have had an insurance quote from Tesco, but this is based on the condition that I have a tracker fitted to the car...

does anyone have one? and which is the best? cheapest?
Is there one well you pay a one off fee for the duration of the car, rather than a subscription?

cheers.

I got a Tracker Monitor £300 plus £325 lifetime subscription, for saving £300 on Tesco Insurance 4 months ago (down to £640 with Protected Noclaims).

It was fitted by UKTracking.com in my works car park. I know it works because they contacted my home & mobile as soon as it was towed off the M1 with a puncture (space saver wheel didn't fit over hubs & calipers).

Only problem is I initially chose annual subscription, then changed my mind. Now Tracker keep sending threats at me to urgently pay my subscription even though they've already taken my £325! "Computer sez no" at work here methinks.

Is there a web site that tells you if there is a tracker fitted to your car, I am buying a 51 plate mark 2 wrx wagon and don't think there is a tracker fitted as no paperwork ?????????????

i dont think there is. tracker won't allow details of vehicles with units fitted to become public knowledge. the guys doing the fitting arent even supposed to tell the customer where it is! the only way you could find out is to telephone tracker with the vehicle reg and chassis number, they would then probably ask for a photocopy of the V5 to be sent through as proof of ownership. unfortunately they wont tell you before you buy the vehicle

Tracker is the most reliable been loads of problems with rac trackstar and their customer service over the years trust me.

got trackstar on mine but the insurance arent bothered. payin 560 fully comp with protected no claims

The guy at the garage i'm buying from is pretty helpful as he is a scooby owner himself and he did say he can get a tracker fitted for me but i just looked at the prices

Private Customer QuoteVehicle Type: Car TRACKER Monitor£249.00Annual Subscription£125.00Installation£100.00 SUB TOTAL (inc. VAT)£474.00


and that's the cheapest one...........

If it makes ya feel better tom neithers 100% reliable just trackers the better of the 2.Just a necessity for insurance sometimes anyway really, though not all companies require you to have one fitted on a impreza.

Trackers subscription did go up a sml amount this yr which were unlucky for ya i guess but thats not too bad.

tell me about it mate. one of the customers at the dealership where i used to work had a problem with his. it was gettin interference from the cars own electrics so he ended up with numerous calls from tracker in the early hours of the morning

horizon is the better of the units as they're able to pinpoint the location of the car even if its parked in an enclosed lockup. something to do with a gps locator, if i remember rightly

[jammychap]

i can get insurance for sub 500 notes but without the protected no claims hummmmmmmmmmmmm don't like that then again i con pay about 650 with protection.

Believe that Tom,imprezas are supposed to have a poorly shielded electrical system and not great earths hence these kits below however a mate fitted one and didnt notice any difference.
