Accessorizing your vehicle with anti theft devices will not only bring you peace of mind, but it might also save you money on insurance premiums.

Top Types of Anti Theft Devices

Most insurance providers recognize proof of anti theft devices with discounts. The size of discount, which can go as high as 30%, depends on your carrier, place of residence, and number of theft-prevention devices.

To qualify for a discount, consider equipping your vehicle with at least one of the following:

• Burglar Alarm―Loud alarm discourages thieves from illegally entering a vehicle.

• Window Sketching―Prevents thieves from altering a car's vehicle identification number (VIN) by etching it in glass.

• Fuel/Ignition Shutoff Devices―Prevents vehicle's ignition electrical system from operating. Or, in other words, it prevents thieves from starting a vehicle.

• LoJack―The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System enables law enforcement to track stolen vehicles via a transmitter hidden inside the car.

• Steering Wheel Bar―Locks across the steering wheel, preventing thieves from navigating the vehicle.
