Every
day in the UK, thieves attempt to steal around 2,500 cars. Over
half of those stolen are never recovered, or are too badly damaged
to be returned. If a stolen car is recovered, the estimated
average uninsured cost to the owner is £470. If it is
not recovered, the cost can be £2,000 or more.
If you have the RAC Trackstar option and your vehicle is stolen,
Smartnav can help to locate it by using the Global Positioning
System (GPS) within your Smartnav unit. In addition, fitting
RAC Trackstar to your vehicle could also reduce your insurance
premiums.
If your vehicle is stolen, you must first report the theft to
the Police and obtain a crime reference number. Once you have
the number, call the Smartnav PA on the dedicated RAC Trackstar
phone line. The PA activates the GPS tracking function in your
vehicle’s Smartnav unit, which then tells Smartnav the
car’s exact location every 20 seconds. Smartnav continuously
update the Police with the vehicle’s location to help
them recover it.
The service is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The RAC Trackstar service has a Thatcham Q class listing, which
means that many leading insurance companies recognise the Trackstar
option for insurance policies and discounts. |
