ACR Automobile installs insurance-approved vehicle trackers across London and Surrey from our West London base on Addison Avenue, W11. We fit Thatcham-approved Meta Trak systems — from the entry-level S7 to the S5 Deadlock range — with professional, discreet installation and a security assessment on every vehicle.
Direct answer: Car tracker installation in London involves professionally fitting a GPS/GSM tracking device that lets you and a 24/7 monitoring centre locate your vehicle if it's stolen. ACR Automobile fits Thatcham-approved Meta Trak S5 and S7 trackers across London and Surrey, with prices from £399.99 and a free security assessment to match the right system to your car and insurer.
A car tracker is a concealed device that reports your vehicle's location using GPS satellites and the mobile network. If your car is moved without authorisation or reported stolen, a 24/7 secure operating centre can pinpoint its location and coordinate recovery with police.
Thatcham-approved S5 trackers add driver recognition — using an ADR tag or card — so the system knows the difference between you and a thief. S7 trackers offer alert-based tracking without the driver tag, making them a cost-effective step up in security.
The right tracker depends on your vehicle's value, your insurer's requirements and whether you want driver-recognition protection. Many high-value and prestige vehicles are specified for a Thatcham S5 system, while an S7 suits owners wanting solid, monitored protection at a lower cost.

Tracker installation costs depend on the system, not just the fitting. Our tracker prices starts from £399.99 for the Meta Trak S7 and £599.99 for the Thatcham-approved S5, with the S5 Deadlock range from £749.99. Each price includes professional installation; subscription costs for the monitoring service are separate and quoted clearly before you commit.
Some insurers require a Thatcham-approved tracker as a condition of cover, particularly on prestige, performance and high-value vehicles. Requirements vary between insurers and policies, so we recommend checking your specific policy documents. We fit Thatcham-approved systems and provide the documentation you'll typically need to confirm installation.
