Top Tips

You don't have to break the bank to give yourself a little extra piece of mind when it comes to your car's safety.

In fact, we have listed five top tips that certainly won't break the bank and could make you feel a little more secure about your car:

  1. Car keys - never leave the keys in your car when you get out, even if it's only for a few minutes.  Most thieves are opportunistic
  2. Valuables - always take any valuables with you, or lock them away out of sight
  3. Parking - give yourself that extra piece of mind and park in a well-lit and busy area
  4. Your radio - if your car radio has built-in security, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, use it
  5. Extra security - for as little as £20 you could invest in something like a steering lock.  You might have heard that they aren't that much good, but a thief will think twice if the car next to you doesn't have one
