Car Security

As car thefts have increased, using additional car security measures helps to keep your car safe and prevent it from being stolen. Here at the RAC Shop, we have a range of high-quality car security options available, including the Armaplate Resolute Gold 2-in-1 Steering Wheel Lock, which is fully attack-tested, so you know you're in safe hands. In addition, it includes a lifetime guarantee. The GPS satellite vehicle tracker features geo-fencing and sends messages when the vehicle or person leaves a pre-defined area.

The simplest yet most effective car security measure is the use of a steering wheel clamp or immobiliser, which locks your wheel, preventing thieves from driving your car away. Other methods of car security available at the RAC Shop include external wheel clamps, GPS trackers, signal blockers, and parking posts.

Our car security accessories are here to give you added peace of mind when leaving your vehicle unattended and deter thieves from attempting to steal your car. You also have the option to secure coverage for your car by obtaining RAC's car insurance, ensuring protection in the event of any unforeseen incidents involving your vehicle.

What is the most effective way to prevent car theft?

One of the most effective ways to deter car thieves is by using a steering lock. Devices like the Disklok or Armaplate steering locks are highly recommended. The Armaplate also disables the brakes, providing an added layer of security.

Which Disklok will fit my car’s steering wheel?

• Small: 35–38.9 cm
• Medium: 39–41.5 cm
• Large: 41.5–44 cm

Do steering locks stop car thieves?

Steering locks prevent car theft by disabling the steering wheel, making it almost impossible to drive the vehicle. They also serve as a strong visual deterrent, which can discourage thieves from attempting to steal your car.

How do RFID pouches work?

Disklok's RFID Faraday key pouch works by blocking the signal emitted by your car key. This is particularly useful for modern vehicles with keyless entry, as it prevents thieves from cloning the key’s signal.
