We recognise how devastating it can be if your car is stolen. Beyond the physical loss, the life disruption and added stress can also linger. That’s why it’s important to stay informed about ways to protect your vehicle.
There’s a few precautions you can take to fend off the thieves, such as using a steering wheel lock, installing an immobiliser, and putting up motion-sensor lights if parking at home.”
But if you are unlucky enough to have your car stolen, temporary car insurance is one option that can offer greater flexibility, especially if you’re borrowing a car from a friend or family member, helping to ease the burden if the unexpected happens.”
A car is often more than just a means of transport, it can be an integral part of life, so being prepared can help protect it and deter potential thieves.
Said Claire Wills-Mckissick at Tempcover.
