The O’Haras have taken delivery of a Cobra stolen vehicle tracking system, CobraTrak, to help protect their luxury 4×4 vehicle and reduce insurance premiums.
O’Hara and her Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder husband Jamie took delivery of CobraTrak at their home in Sutton Coldfield and the system was fitted to their luxury 4×4 in just two hours. Now protected by the Thatcham category 5 accredited CobraTrak, the O’Haras can look forward to using a system with an average vehicle recovery time of a mere 22 minutes.*
Danielle O’Hara said: “Cobra has a really impressive average recovery time and this is what attracted us to fit a CobraTrak. As well as their proven efficiency in returning vehicles to their rightful owners, knowing Cobra can provide a host of other alerts puts our mind at rest when we’re away from our car. Considering all this, CobraTrak is a really small investment for the peace of mind it will now give our family.”
During 2012 Cobra found many high value vehicles (over £25,000) across a range of marques were being stolen to order before being exported to Africa, eastern Europe and the Middle and Far East. As car theft is now big international business, underlined in 2012 by £1.5 billion in criminal profit being generated, so owners of luxury vehicles are finding the modest investment of a stolen vehicle tracker can be the key to returning their pride and joy should the worst happen.
CobraTrak is not only monitored around the clock by Cobra monitoring centres but also features other benefits for its owners. For example, CobraTrak also provides the option to Geofence the vehicle where the owner receives an alert if the vehicle should exit the zone, a tamper alert if the vehicle battery is disconnected or discharged and web tracking that enables the owner or a supplier to track a vehicle via the internet even when they’re not driving it.
CobraTrak products can be installed on new or used cars to provide peace of mind and reduce insurance premiums. Cobra UK offers two Thatcham accredited vehicle tracking products, CobraTrak Plus and CobraTrak 5.
CobraTrak uses the latest GPS/GPRS/GSM technology to locate a vehicle to within ten metres. Cobra’s network of 24 hour monitoring centres across 39 European countries, Russia and South Africa commence live tracking when a theft is reported and liaise with police authorities in local language to recover the vehicle quickly and minimise the likelihood of damage.
