What Can You Buy to Prevent Your Own Car from Being Stolen?

Vehicle theft remains one of South Africa's most common crimes. Once you've bought your car legitimately, protecting it requires layered security. No single product is foolproof the goal is to make your vehicle harder to steal than the one next to it.

Pro tip: For South African conditions, a combination of a GPS tracker (for recovery) and a kill switch (for deterrence) gives the strongest protection. Cartrack, Netstar, and Mix Telematics all offer insurance-approved installations.
