I had my 2017 RR stolen with the keyless method.The tracker worked for 30minutes.Quote from JLR Tracking centre "They probably broke off the antenna" The JLR subscription is a complete waste of money.I have had a tracker fitted ,Ghost system,keys in faraday box and a steering lock. Swinton who I claimed from declined to cover new car ,Churchill on line were reasonably priced. |

Ive just checked my policy documents. The only mention of 'theft' relates to my excess and there is no mention of tracker, anywhere. 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - 'Black Betty'

Have a look at where it says what's covered and what's not in this churchill one it says theft is not covered if they insisted on a tracker.

Nope, don't think so. If I was asked, I'd have said no. 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - 'Black Betty'

18MY-onwards (I think) have Ultra Wideband keys for which the signal supposedly can’t be intercepted and boosted, rather than the “sleeping” keys. |

I really wouldn't trust anything Land Rover say about security. |

I've just checked my policy documents from Churchill and, whilst it does indeed say theft is not covered if you aren't using a tracking device, it also clearly states "If we need you to use a tracking device, you can see this under ‘Endorsements’ in your car insurance details" Can't find any reference in my policy document to it and they haven't told me I need one! In addition, because I never want to use an insurance company who insist on a tracker (it only protects THEM from the loss) I always declare in the initial quote that the car doesn't have a tracker fitted so I'm always up-front about it. Here's a thought.........does anyone know if any of the companies that provide tracking systems and subscriptions are owned by any of the insurers? 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography (2021-2024) - Santorini Black 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster (2016-2021) - Santorini Black |

Well I can assure you Churchill was the one I bought the insurance off and it only became apparent when I tried to claim the multi car discount. They took it to the underwriter and they said all Range Rovers must have a tracker or they are not covered for theft. I would tell you to phone them but when you know you’re not covered then what? I promise you they will tell you you must have one. I spent about half a hour again talking to their underwriters today after over a hour yesterday to customer services.

“The only car they couldn’t start was the Land Rover Discovery, which has ultra-wide-band radio technology.”
