Reduce The Cost Of Car Insurance By Having Additional Security

Increasing the security of your car by fitting an alarm, immobiliser or tracking device reduces the risk to the car and therefore can cut the cost of your car insurance premiums. You’ll find your cheap car insurance quotes will be all the cheaper for taking the following security measures:

Car Alarm

Fitting an alarm is a good way to protect both the vehicle and its contents, such as the car stereo or other valuables. The alarm will sound if a door is opened or a window smashed, or if the car even receives a heavy jolt.

Many modern alarms also have a pager to alert the owner of a problem when they are too far away from the car to hear the alarm - for example when the car has been parked up to go shopping in town. When comparing car insurance with thecomparisons.com, if you have an alarm fitted on your vehicle, make sure you enter the relevant details so that you compare & receive a cheaper car insurance quote.

Immobiliser

An electronic immobiliser prevents a car being started until deactivated. It can’t protect your car from being broken into but it may prevent it being stolen. Having an immobiliser fitted to your vehicle will result in a cheaper car insurance quote.

Tracker

Having a tracking device fitted is also an excellent way to get cheaper car insurance, as it greatly increases the chances of your car being recovered if stolen. The police can trace the signal emitted by the tracker to anywhere in the UK.

Most new and recently manufactured cars have an alarm or immobiliser as standard, and insurers take into account the system type when calculating the saving on the car insurance. If you have an older vehicle, you will have to supply details of any security device in order to get a reduced quote.

Tracking devices tend to be privately fitted, and again, to qualify for a reduction on your insurance cover, you will be required to supply your broker with details.
