Landrover

What is Land Rover Watch?
Land Rover Watch is our authorised pan-European stolen vehicle tracking system. When fitted discreetly to a Land Rover, it senses an unauthorised movement of the vehicle, alerts the Land Rover Watch Monitoring Service and passes on relevant information to the local police.
 
How does it work?
When a fitted vehicle is moved without a Driver Recognition Card, it triggers a silent alert to the Monitoring Service, who then contact the owner to confirm whether a theft has taken place. Should the vehicle be confirmed as stolen, the tracking process begins using GPS and GSM technologies and the police are informed. The system has its own independent power source, so it works even if the car's battery is disconnected.

Why do I need it?
During the last ten years vehicle security has greatly improved and vehicle crime has fallen significantly. However, there has been a corresponding increase in car-jacking and home burglaries – so your car is now most likely to be stolen using your own keys. Land Rover Watch helps combat key theft by providing a Driver Recognition Card that is presented when the car is driven. This is provided as standard in some countries and is optional in others.

Advantages of Land Rover watch
-  Approved by insurers
-  Covered by the Land Rover warranty
-  Remote immobilisation capability (where permitted) preventing thieves from restarting the car once the engine has been cut off
-  Pan-European service with priority access to the police
-  Detects if the car is towed or moved
-  Arms the system automatically when you leave the car
-  Detects attempts to tamper with the tracking system or disconnect the vehicle battery.

Hire cars
A vehicle will be sourced through one of the major vehicle rental companies. You must be able to comply with their conditions of hire and you will be responsible for any fuel costs. Insurance requirements stipulate that you must be between 25 and 65 years of age. If you are under 25 or over 65 we will endeavour to make alternative arrangements, but these cannot be guaranteed.
Certain endorsements on your licence may prejudice your eligibility to hire a vehicle.
 
Specialist charges
If the recovery of your vehicle requires the use of specialist equipment as a result of, for example, a road traffic accident, multiple wheel theft or vandalism, any costs incurred will be your responsibility.
 
Limitations to off-road recovery
We reserve the right to charge you for any costs incurred if your vehicle is disabled by floods or snow-affected roads, is embedded in sand or mud or is not easily accessible.
 
Release fees
Should your vehicle be stolen or involved in a road traffic accident and subsequently recovered by the police, you will be liable for any release fee payable before we can remove your vehicle. These costs may be covered by your motor insurance policy.
 
Reclaiming expenses
If you have been authorised by Land Rover Assistance to pay for a covered benefit and wish to recover the costs, please forward the original receipts with a covering letter to the address below.

Adverse weather conditions
Please be aware that adverse weather conditions such as high winds, snow or floods can make some Land Rover Assistance operations physically impossible until the weather improves. Our immediate priority is to ensure that you and your passengers are taken to a place of safety and it may be necessary to attend to your vehicle later.
 
Caravan/trailer
If your vehicle is immobilised, we will tow your caravan or trailer to a destination near to the repairing Land Rover Authorised Repairer. Land Rover Assistance will not, however, be held responsible for any goods being transported.

Limited assistance
If your vehicle is immobilised as a result of glass breakage, refilling or topping up with incorrect fuel, keys locked in vehicle, lost or stolen keys or inadequate maintenance, car hire and vehicle redelivery will not be provided.
 
Keys locked in vehicle/lost keys
We will always endeavour to provide assistance by the most practical method. However, should we be unable to gain entry to your vehicle, modern security systems may make forced entry necessary. If this is the case, you will be asked to sign a declaration, stating that you have given permission for this, and that any costs for resultant damage will be your responsibility. 

Glass breakage
In the UK, we can contact a Land Rover Authorised Repairer or approved Land Rover glass supplier on your behalf, who will usually be able to supply and fit replacement glass. You will be liable for the cost of replacement parts and fitting charges.
 
Incorrect fuel
If your vehicle is immobilised as a result of refilling or topping up with incorrect fuel, Land Rover Assistance will recover your vehicle to the most appropriate Land Rover Authorised Repairer.
 
Validity (Europe only)
Land Rover Assistance is only available in Europe for travel not exceeding 30 days duration in a single trip and 91 days duration in any 12 month period. It is recommended that adequate travel insurance is taken out in addition to this cover.

Repatriation (Europe only)
You will be asked to provide Land Rover Assistance with a signed inventory of any items left in your vehicle prior to repatriation. Neither Land Rover Assistance nor its agents accept any liability for the subsequent loss of, or damage to, any items not declared on this inventory.
