I haven’t tried one yet, but it sounds like a good supplemental device. Does it really deter thieves?

22

Absolutely! A steering wheel lock is often the first thing thieves look to bypass. Plus, it can help you save on premiums!

23

I installed an alarm system, and the peace of mind is priceless! Does GEICO give a good discount for that?

Yes, GEICO recognizes alarm systems too! Discounts can vary, but it’s worth checking with your agent.

I’ve seen mixed opinions on these devices. Some say alarm systems are great, but others think they’re just background noise. Any thoughts?

26

I get that! It’s true that not all alarms deter thieves, but any added security is better than nothing.

27

Humor me, but could you imagine a thief seeing a steering wheel lock and deciding it’s not worth the trouble? Kind of comical!

28

Haha! It’s funny to think about, but you’d be surprised how often little things can make a difference!

Reflecting on this discussion, I feel that a combination of devices is probably the best strategy for comprehensive theft protection.

I’ve had a great experience with my car’s anti-theft system when it comes to GEICO. They recognized my device and even offered a discount on my premium! It feels good knowing my car is safer.

That’s awesome to hear, carolinestanley! I also had a discount for my GPS tracker, which helped recover my car quickly when it was stolen. It made a stressful situation much easier.

I’m currently deciding on which anti-theft device to install. Does GEICO provide specific information on approved devices somewhere?

Good question, ftaylor! I looked into it, and they do have a list. It’s best to check their website or call them directly. They’re pretty helpful!

I’ve had a bad experience with theft despite my alarm system. My claim process with GEICO was a bit cumbersome. They didn’t recognize my device as an approved one.

35

That’s unfortunate, mcintyreamber. I had something similar happen once too, which is why I always double-check before buying any anti-theft devices.

Great idea, tylerrivera! I’ve had a similar experience with a car alarm that GEICO recognized. It’s like a two-in-one safety net.

Anyone else found a particular brand of anti-theft device that works well? I’m just curious if certain ones lead to fewer issues with claims.

I had a good laugh when my car alarm went off at 2 a.m. and scared the neighbors more than anyone else! But at least GEICO recognized it!
