The Real Cost of Car Theft

When your car is stolen, your life is turned upside down.

  • You'll have to pay your insurance deductible
  • Insurance claims are going to result in increased insurance premiums
  • You will probably need to rent a car until you get your vehicle back
  • There may be valuables in your car that you will have to replace if stolen or damaged
  • You will miss time off work for police reports and court time for prosecution
  • And if your vehicle cannot be recovered, it will cost you for an extended rental and additional time off work to find a new vehicle
