The costs nobody mentions
What theft really costs you
Insurance doesn't make you whole. Getting your vehicle back can save you thousands.
Insurance excesses are often £1,000 or more, and some drivers choose £3,000 to bring their premium down. If your vehicle is recovered undamaged, there's no claim, so no excess to pay.
Owe £30,000 on finance and the insurer pays out £20,000? Without GAP insurance, you still owe the finance company the £10,000 difference, even though the theft wasn't your fault.
A vehicle with a "stolen and recovered" history can be worth up to 25% less at part-exchange, according to a dealer with 25 years in the motor trade. Many buyers simply won't take one.
Don't just claim on it. Get it back.
After the theft
The headache nobody talks about
A stolen vehicle isn't just a missing vehicle. Vehicle theft is the start of the stress, the phone calls, the paperwork and the not knowing.
What usually happens next
- Report it stolenGet the police involved and a crime reference number.
- Make an insurance claimStatements, documents and every detail they ask for.
- WaitYour life is on hold while the claim is processed.
- Pay the priceYour excess, possibly your no-claims discount, and possibly higher premiums for years.
- Find another way aroundLifts, hire cars and lost work while you're without it.
- Deal with the financeIf the settlement doesn't cover what you still owe, the shortfall can be yours.
Then there's the uncertainty. Once you make a claim, it can feel like every detail of your original insurance application is being looked at again. That's stress nobody needs after their stolen car, van or bike has just gone.
How HoldenTek changes the outcome
Get it back. Not just paid out.
Insurance compensates you after the loss. HoldenTek vehicle security is built to recover a stolen vehicle, so the loss doesn't have to stick.
If your vehicle is recovered undamaged, you may be able to avoid making an insurance claim altogether. That can mean avoiding:
- An insurance excess
- Losing your no-claims position
- The finance gap that can come with a total loss
- The upheaval of replacing your vehicle
Most importantly, you get your vehicle back and get on with your life.
The true cost goes far beyond the vehicle.
It hits your work, your family, your business and your peace of mind. That's what our vehicle theft protection is for.
