I'm looking for a GPS tracker for a classic car.

I've been using the Vodafone Curve system for a couple of years. It's served my needs well and the subscription at £2/month has been insignificant but they're discontinuing the services at the end of July.

Family members all use the car so if anyone wants it, they just log into the Vodafone app and can see who has it.

I've seen lots of cheap GPS systems on Amazon but would rather get one which someone from PH has experience of rather than trusting Amazon reviews.

Can anyone suggest one they're using?

Those air tag type devices only work if someone nearby has a phone on them, absolutely no use if you car ends up somewhere remote.
£19.99 for a Tru Track magnetic tracker, brilliant little things, I have a few.

I recommend and have a GPS Bob tracker, I've got the 5 year no subscription, 4G version.

Simple to install, does what it should, can't fault it. You can track your vehicle by a phone app.

It's the £4.72 a month I object to, I need a load of them for stock vehicles so it adds up

Like most I don't need full tracking. I just need to know where it is if it gets stolen

A mate paid a fair bit for a tracker for a lorry.
The thieves left the tracker behind when they took the lorry.
