We are moving home shortly so I thought Id do a quick insurance check for the van, our current costs are about £429 per year.. We dont have a monitored tracker but do have the Vanbitz Non-start which sends alerts an allows me to track the vehicle. I dont know if insuarnace companies would accept this as a tracking system , but suspect not.
Quotes for the new place came in at £1170 for the year, which was a bit of a shock. So thought I try re-running the quote with a tracker added. This dropped the price to a more respectable £465 for an S7 tracker and £432 for the S5 one.
The van came with a Global Telematics S7 tracker fitted, but I have never used it. So I called them and it would be £50 to reactivate it and £149 per year for the service. There are cheaper packages for extending the amount of years paid for.
I then called Metatrak to ask if the Non-start could be used as an S7 or S5 tracker. Good news is , they advised me it can. The annual cost would be £119 for the S7 or £178 for the S5 version. Given that we already pay £70 PA for the non start, its only another £50 to add the S7 and save £700 on the insurance.
Thought this may be of use to anyone else with the Vanbitz non start system.
