Hi Rox – you have got me thinking – I am aware of trackers but know little about them – not sure how that would work with Motability – I think if I had bought the car I would give the idea very serious consideration – I know some insurance companies encourage cameras in your car and discount for it. Is there a similar policy for trackers – I wonder if Motability have considered it – I suppose it would relate directly to how many Motability vehicles are stolen – interesting tho
I guess so as when I recently got insurance of the scheme it asked if vehicle had tracker fitted as it did camera, alarm etc. I have a dashcam as why to many scammers thesedays throwing themesleves on people bonnets etc.
There different forms of trackers, even ones that you put in you bike/bicycle frame. Some are battery operated and you stash them somewhere in the car and others can be hard wired into the car and have bettery backup. Some can track more than just location thesedays. Can even track your kids with one.
Halfords do them or you can goto a company and get one fitted and some offer different levels of support and subscriptions depend on level of cover you want and how much your car is worth.
https://www.trackerfit.co.uk/stolen-vehicle-trackers/car-trackers.html abit of info on that page and different stuff they offer.
As for mb as far as i know it’s only in certain circumstances they put in trackers and not for theft. I have been thinking about getting one for my new car, that i just got it in june (off the scheme) but is only a suzuki Vitara but is keyless entry and start. So is something i need to look more into myself.
