Just purchased my first Porsche. It has the Porsche VTS tracking system fitted but it has not been active since 2015. I spoke with Vodafone and they say it can be activated and the annual fee is £217. If I look elsewhere the Vodafone Protect +6 Connect can be fitted with one year subscription for £350 (inc first years subs) with ongoing annual subs of £138. This includes access to an app giving position of the vehicle. Biketrac provide to tracker for my motorcycle and the subs are only £100 and it works a treat with full web history including all events and journeys. They are willing to continue if I put it in the car. Surely we are being taken for a ride by Vodafone?

You are a captive audience with a Porsche.
Of course Voda are price gouging!
I have only found a few years where Tracker/VTS just about broke even with Insurance saving (or indeed facilitated the Insurance)
But most of the time you can get Insurance with a non-Tracker/VTS premium of less than the fees (so why bother?), or by shopping around, find an insurer that does not require Tracker/VTS.

Same here.
My renewal on my 997 turbo was £400 without any questions about having a tracker fitted.
