Insuring Your Car Against Theft

10/12/2016

4 Comments

 
Picture
Your car may be among the most expensive things you own. Thus, it’s a no-brainer that you’d do anything to keep it safe and protected. But even if you’ve installed the best safety device out there, you could still become a victim of car theft. To protect yourself against theft and damage, you should understand your insurance well.
​


What Insurance Coverage Should I Have?

You’ll need comprehensive coverage to protect yourself against the financial implications of loss and damages due to car theft. It covers the payment for stolen replacement parts, as well as for the theft of the entire vehicle. Aside from that, comprehensive insurance will protect you from damages due to a storm, vandalism, collision, and falling objects.

Note, however, that comprehensive coverage is not without a deductible which is usually up to$1,000. That just means that every time you make a claim, you will be responsible for paying the amount equal to the deductible. Your insurer will then pay for the rest of the claim up to the estimated value of the car.

How Can I Prevent Car Theft?

Many car thefts are preventable if you take extra precautions. According to studies, more than 40% of all thefts are due to driver error, like leaving the doors unlocked or leaving the windows open. To help avoid this, you should take the following tips to heart:
  • Your valuables shouldn’t be left inside the car. Take them with you. If not, make sure that your electronic devices, laptops, and purses are not visible from your windows.
  • As much as possible, park your car in a garage or a secured parking space. Otherwise, park it in a well-lit area.
  • Do not leave your car while the keys are in the ignition, even if you’re in your driveway.
  • Make sure you lock all your doors and windows every time you leave the car.

Keep your car protected and secure at all times by taking extra precautions and installing safety devices. Have it covered by the right auto insurance that suits your budget.

I do agree that suitable protective measures should be taken to prevent car break-ins. A car should be parked in a secure parking area. Besides, a car needs special attention to run smoothly without any major mechanical abnormalities. So, a person should be aware of basic car maintenance tricks required to keep a car in working order. Besides, a car should be subjected to inspection on a daily basis and the inspection should be carried out by experienced professionals. To know more about the preventive car maintenance, visit

Thanks for elaborating how insurance coverage could help pay for your vehicle during rare instances of theft. I heard that my brother plans to purchase a van for travel use. I believe he should consider visiting an insurance expert as a preventive measure.

It helped when you said that insurance can protect us from damages, like theft, storm, and collision. My husband and I want to avoid financial problems in the future in case of an unforeseen event. With this, we will look for an auto insurance policy that can cover our Toyota car from disasters and other events for our peace of mind.
