If your vehicle is included in the list above, we strongly recommend taking extra precautions. Look into your insurance coverage options—you could save yourself some unnecessary hassle and minimize the business disruption and loss of income caused by a stolen vehicle.

A few ways to prevent your commercial vehicle from being stolen:

  • Never leave your vehicle idling and out of sight.
  • Lock the doors and roll up the windows before you walk away from the vehicle.
  • Always park your vehicle in well-lit areas. Consider overnight garage parking if possible.
  • Store your work tools out of sight.
