Protect Your Car & Save on Auto Insurance
Whether you’re in the market to buy
a new car or you already have one that you want to protect, consider spending
the extra money for a car alarm or anti-theft equipment. Theft-prevention
devices will help prevent break-ins and thefts but may also save you money on
your auto insurance at the same time.
What are the odds?
Recent statistics from the
Insurance Information Institute report that a vehicle is stolen every 24
seconds in the U.S. Below are some pointers on how you can avoid becoming an
auto-theft statistic. (By preventing your car from being stolen or broken into,
you’ll also avoid having to file a claim, which could increase your auto
insurance premium.)
Deter crime
The presence of an alarm can help
deter someone from stealing or vandalizing your car. Other anti-theft devices
that can protect you from theft include: steering wheel locks, protective
steering columns, and car-disabling locks for the ignition, fuel, and other
systems that make it difficult for thieves to make a get away with your
property.
You’re being tracked
A tracking system will help the
police locate your car if it’s stolen, which greatly improve the chances that
your auto will be recovered.
If you’re buying a new model car
that has standard anti-theft features, your auto insurance discount will be
figured into your quote (if available in your state). Find out today if you

Double the protection
Some safety organizations recommend
that if you really want to protect your car, especially a high-value one, you
should outfit it with at least 2 or more anti-theft devices.
Invest in theft-prevention devices if you want to protect your vehicle and its
contents. As mentioned above, these extra precautions can also help keep your
auto insurance rates low. If you haven’t already, find out how much you can
