Stolen Vehicle Claim with Bryte: How the Tracker Counts
A theft on a Bryte commercial policy is handled through your broker or account contact, often on a fleet where a vehicle is a working asset. The first hour after the theft - and the order of your calls - shapes the claim.
This guide walks the Bryte flow from theft to settlement, with the tracker's role anchored at each stage.

Get my quotesTracker provider first, then the business steps
Call the affected vehicle's tracker provider before your broker or Bryte. Their recovery room works the live signal while the trail is fresh - the most time-critical step.
On a fleet, knowing which provider covers which vehicle in advance saves crucial minutes.
Notifying Bryte through your broker
On a commercial policy your broker or account contact lodges and coordinates the theft claim with Bryte, identifying the vehicle and routing documents to the insurer.
Contact them promptly so the claim is opened and the assessment can begin.
Recovery and claim in parallel
The provider's recovery room chases the vehicle while Bryte, via your broker, handles the settlement. Two tracks on one theft.
Keep both updated; a recovery within 48 hours can turn a write-off into a repair and limit downtime to the business.
The police case number
Bryte's file needs the SAPS case number before substantive handling. Report at the station, secure the number, and pass it with the officer's details to your broker.
On a commercial claim the police record is doubly important where goods or downtime are also at stake.
Tracker status on the date of loss
Bryte checks the affected vehicle's tracker state on the day. A live, subscribed, monitored unit that reported the theft is standard; a lapsed or silent one draws scrutiny.
Keep every fleet unit's plan paid and certificate filed so each is claim-ready.
