There are some things that are considered when insurance companies are designing your quote. Your driving record and age are two of the main considerations that you would expect. The vehicles make and model and what it is used for will affect your rate as well. You may not have known that installing a security device, alarm system or any anti-theft mechanism on your car will reduce your rate.
If you need a full coverage policy that covers against theft, a good security device could save you hundreds on your insurance premium. Vehicles that have some type of security device installed will have a better chance of receiving the most competitive rates.
The highest at risk for theft are owners of older style cars. Most older cars do not come equipped with anti-theft features; therefore they are a much easier target. This increases your policy price by a great deal. The easiest method for protecting your policy from increases in the policy price is to install a security device on to your car. Not only will you save hundreds on your policy, you will be less likely to have your car stolen.
If your car is equipped with a locating device you should expect to benefit from large discounts on your automobile insurance policy. Locating devices are easily installed and are not be visible on the car. In the case that the vehicle is stolen the locating device will let law officials locate the vehicle and in many cases not just retrieve the car but thieves as well. The locating device will transmit signals that show the location of the car. The location devices are designed to work where ever you are, even internationally. The location devices have been life savers for hostage, kidnap or car jack situations.
Criminals want an easy grab; if your vehicle does not look like an easy steal it will be left alone. An installation of a steering wheel brake or column collar will deter most thieves. Anytime you make it more unlikely for your vehicle to be stolen the insurance company will offer you lower rates.
Even if a GPS tracking system or steering wheel brake is installed on the car you should still equip it with an alarm system. Door locking systems are nothing for a seasoned thief so an alarm system that sounds whenever someone tries to enter the vehicle will decrease the vehicles chance of being stolen even further.
The insurance rates will be reduced according to how much protection you can offer against theft. Parking in parking lots that offer CCTV cameras are well lit greatly reduces your chances of having the car stolen or you being attacked. If you are parking while it is still daylight keeps in mind that you may not be returning to the vehicle until after dark.
Make sure all security devices are in place, doors are locked and alarms are set when leaving the car. You also need to be sure to never leave your keys inside the vehicle or to leave it running.
