Volkswagen theft has risen considerably in recent years, and insurers have taken notice. Many UK providers now require a Thatcham-approved Volkswagen tracker to be fitted before they'll offer cover on higher-value models — or before they'll offer it at a premium worth paying. Here's why:
Higher recovery rates
A Volkswagen fitted with a dedicated tracker is significantly more likely to be located and recovered quickly after theft. Insurers factor this directly into how they assess your risk and calculate your premium.
Lower risk, lower premiums
A professionally fitted Volkswagen tracker signals to your insurer that you're taking active steps to protect your vehicle. That reduced risk often translates into meaningful savings on your annual premium — in many cases enough to offset a significant portion of the tracker's cost over time.
Meeting policy requirements
For certain Volkswagen models — particularly higher-specification variants of the Golf, Tiguan, and Touareg — insurers may decline to offer cover without a Thatcham-certified device in place. Checking your policy requirements now could save you from a costly surprise down the line.
Peace of mind beyond the policy
A GPSBob Volkswagen tracker does more than satisfy your insurer. It gives you real-time visibility over your vehicle around the clock. If the worst happens, our 24/7 monitoring centre works directly with law enforcement to give your Volkswagen the best possible chance of recovery.
