Consider this:
AA Homestart in comparison, costs less, and they actually send a guy round if your car won't start. You can even call them up and they'll change a flat tyre, help you out if you fill up with the wrong fuel, pick you up if you have an accident etc etc. as many times as you want. A proper hands on service.

These guys just sit around in an office and phone you up telling you where your car is once in a blue moon. Big expense there isn't it?
If they too had mobile units dotted round the country that followed stolen cars, then fine £132 would be a bargain, but they don't.

You can now buy a GPS tracker with a built in mobile phone. Probably similar to the trackstar unit, for less than £200. Once programmed you can also link it to your alarm, and it too will report your cars co-ordinates to your mobile. Together with a tomtom you can too find out exactly where your car is. The running costs for one of those devices is peanuts.

Only difference is you need these scum suckers to get discounted insurance. And as such they know they have you over a barrel.

As for euro cover, big deal thier sim cards do international roaming, wow. Ooooh bet that costs a few extra pennies in case of it being activated. And as most have said, we don't all go to euro in our cars, so a pointless upgrade.
Do they have French, German, Italian, Polish speaking operaters to liase with euro police? Do they bollocks. Lip service only.
