S5 Car Trackers - Thatcham Insurance Approved
Thatcham S5 Trackers FAQs
A Thatcham S5 tracker is a fully monitored, insurance-approved GPS tracking device certified to the Thatcham S5 standard. GPSBob's Mongoose S5 adds ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition) via a TOTP-enabled fob, giving a higher level of security than the entry-level S7.
The GPSBob Thatcham S5 uses an Advanced Fob with TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) technology, the same method used by banks, so only authorised drivers carrying the registered fob can operate the vehicle without triggering an alert.
If the GPSBob Thatcham S5 detects the vehicle being driven without an authorised fob present, it immediately sends an alert, helping you spot unauthorised use straight away.
No. The GPSBob Thatcham S5 is available for cars, motorhomes, vans, and motorbikes, so the same driver-authorisation security can be applied across different vehicle types.
Yes, GPSBob charges a low flat monthly cost of £9.99, which covers 24/7 monitoring, the tracking app, and full access to the S5's security features.
Many insurers offer discounts of up to 20% on vehicles fitted with a GPSBob Thatcham S5, since it meets the highest Thatcham certification standard and includes 24/7 monitoring.
Yes. GPSBob provides free nationwide installation for the Thatcham S5, with a professional installer coming to your home, workplace, or dealership.
The GPSBob Thatcham S5 suits high-value vehicles, fleets, or anyone whose insurer requires driver authorisation. It builds on the S7's core alerts by adding ADR, making it the recommended choice where insurers specify a higher security category.
