Engineer's verdict
Where SmarTrack excels
Vans and fleet are SmarTrack's core
Global Telemetrics' van-focused heritage shows in install ergonomics — hardware fits Transit, Sprinter, Transporter and Vivaro layouts neatly.
Genuine police experience
Long-standing force-liaison relationships make a real difference in recoveries, particularly across West and South Yorkshire.
Protector Pro is widely accepted
On specialist insurer lists where only a handful of brands are named, Protector Pro nearly always appears.
Purpose-built leisure variant
Unlike brands that repackage a standard S7, SmarTrack's caravan/motorhome variant is actually tuned for the use case.
Fleet customers

Harsh braking, speed, idling — useful for insurer audits.

Questions we're asked most

What's the difference between Protector and Protector Pro?
Both are Thatcham S5. Protector Pro adds extended recovery, wider international cover and multi-driver features. A small number of insurers specifically name Protector Pro; most accept either.
Is SmarTrack UK-based?

Is SmarTrack better than Scorpion or MetaTrak?
For vans and fleet, SmarTrack is often our first pick. For premium SUVs, MetaTrak and Scorpion are more common. We match brand to vehicle and insurer.
Do you do fleet installs at our yard?
Yes — fleet day discounts for 3+ vehicles fitted at your premises on the same visit.
Will SmarTrack work on a motorhome left stood for months?
Yes — the caravan/motorhome variant is tuned for long standing periods with low standby current.
