COLUMBUS, OH, June 28, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- One of the major risks that ever car owner faces apart from road accidents is car theft. Every city in the US has its fair share of car owners who are victims of auto theft. In an article recently published by Insure4USA.com, one of the leading online insurance services in the country, the company discusses the impact of auto theft on car insurance rates. According to statistics released by USA Census (http://www.census.gov), 219 of every 100,000 vehicles are reported stolen annually. One of the ways to reduce the risk of car theft is to install an anti-theft device, a step strongly supported by David, Manager of Insure4USA.com. David says, "Anti-theft devices not only provide protection for your vehicle but help lower insurance rates as well. There are several types of protection devices ranging from steering wheel locks and brake pedal locks to more sophisticated electronic devices and immobilizers. These prove a deterrent for thieves who won't want to waste too much time trying to break through these systems."
Other anti-theft devices include car alarms, tracking systems, and much more. However, immobilizers are among the most common that are included with many new models today. Even a sticker that indicates that the car is equipped with an anti-theft device can help keep thieves at bay. David adds, "Quite often, motorists end up making it easy for thieves to break into their vehicles. Always make it a point to park in well lit areas. Don't leave your car out on the street if you have a garage. Lock your car even if you need to walk a few steps and return. Most importantly, don't tempt a thief by leaving valuables or even a briefcase that may only contain a few documents. Thieves could damage your car just to get at it thinking there is something for them inside."
The article emphasizes the importance of anti-theft devices in lowering insurance premiums. This could help car owners reduce their insurance bills as much as 5 to 15 percent or more. In addition, it is always prudent to inform your insurance provider when you install any anti-theft device in your vehicle in order to receive better discounts. Those who have been a victim of car theft can find themselves paying a higher premium the next time. However, with a bit of research and comparison shopping there are many ways to find affordable insurance.
