An immobiliser is a device used in most new vehicles to reduce the risk of theft, and often reduces your insurance premium. Thatcham was founded as the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre, and is a non profit making organisation, backed and approved by British insurers. Thatcham rate and categorise immobilisers into the following categories: Category 1 - Combined alarm and immobiliser Category 2 - Electronic/Electromechanical immobilisers and upgraded alarms Non-rated - These "Q Class Systems" are not categorised Our online quotation system will automatically detect your car's immobiliser and category if it has one fitted as standard. If you have added or upgraded your vehicle's security, you can enter this on our quotes forms, although please note that a Thatcham certificate will be required as proof.
An immobiliser or immobilizer is an electronic device fitted to an automobile which prevents the engine from running unless the correct key (or other token) is present. This prevents the car from being "hot wired" after entry has been achieved.
