What to check
Keep installation documents, service renewal information and any records the policy requires. Clarify whether continuous activation or a specific monitoring service is necessary. Do not assume that an inexpensive OBD tracker qualifies because it displays the vehicle on a map.
Before you rely on it
In a theft situation, follow the reporting steps specified by the police and insurer. Preserve useful timestamps and positions without attempting a personal recovery. This guide offers a checklist; the individual policy and current terms determine coverage, discounts and claim handling.
