Stolen Vehicle Claim on a Telesure-Stable Policy: How the Tracker Counts
A theft on a policy within the Telesure group is handled through your brand's channel into shared claims systems. Whichever brand fronts the cover, the first hour - and the order of your calls - shapes the claim.
This guide walks the group flow from theft to settlement, with the tracker's role marked at each stage.

Get my quotesTracker provider first, whatever the brand
Call the tracker provider before anyone else. Their recovery room works the live signal while the trail is fresh - the most time-critical step, regardless of which group brand holds your policy.
Police and your insurer follow once recovery is underway.
Reporting through your brand
Lodge the theft notification through your brand's app or claims line; it lands in the group's shared claims handling, with the app used for document upload once the case is open.
Open the case promptly so the assessment can begin in the shared system.
Recovery and claim in parallel
The provider's recovery room chases the car while the group's claims team settles the loss. Two tracks on one theft.
Update both; a recovery within 48 hours can turn a write-off into a repair, and the claims team needs to know at once.
The police case number
The shared claim file needs the SAPS case number before substantive handling. Report at the station, secure the number, keep the investigating officer's details.
The police record anchors the file across the group.
Tracker status on the date of loss
The group checks the device's state on the day. A live, subscribed, monitored unit that reported the theft is standard; a lapsed or silent one draws scrutiny.
Keep the plan paid and the certificate filed so the tracker supports the claim across any group brand.
