Get the requirement in writing
Ask whether your policy specifies S5, S7, a named product, monitored service or a current certification standard. Do not rely on assumptions.
Check fitting and documentation
Confirm whether installation must be completed by an approved professional and what certificate or proof of activation the insurer expects.
Keep the service active
Some policies require continuous monitoring subscriptions. Missing payments or an inactive device could affect compliance with your policy.
Confirm changes with your insurer
If you replace a vehicle, transfer a tracker or change monitoring provider, ask the insurer to confirm continued acceptance.
Important: Product certification and insurer requirements can change. Confirm the exact system and policy terms before purchasing or arranging fitting.
