Is the MetaTrak S5 Deadlock Insurance Approved?

Many insurers now require a Thatcham-approved tracker on higher-value and frequently-targeted vehicles. The MetaTrak S5 Deadlock is Thatcham Category S5 certified and recognised by all major UK insurers. Here is what that means for your policy.

What is a Thatcham S5 tracker?

Thatcham Research sets the UK security standard for vehicle trackers. Category S5 is the highest consumer tracking classification, requiring automatic driver identification (ID tags) and 24/7 monitored stolen-vehicle tracking. The S5 Deadlock meets this standard and adds driver immobilisation on top.

Will a MetaTrak S5 Deadlock lower my insurance premium?

Often, yes. Because an S5 system dramatically reduces theft and improves recovery rates, many insurers offer reduced premiums for S5-protected vehicles, and some performance, prestige and import policies require one. Always confirm with your insurer before fitting.

Do I get proof for my insurer?

Yes. After installation we provide an insurance completion certificate confirming your vehicle is fitted with a Thatcham S5 approved system, which you can send straight to your insurer.

Is the MetaTrak subscription required for insurance approval?

Yes. S5 approval depends on an active monitoring subscription, because the 24/7 control-room service is part of the certification. Your first year is included, and you renew directly with MetaTrak after that.
