Security is a top concern for many car or van owners. Vans are often owned by trades people and they may have to leave valuable tools and materials in overnight. If their van gets broken in to and damaged or goods stolen, this can have a detrimental effect on their business and mean that they cannot work for some time until they have been able to replace what they need to do their job. It is important that you try and ensure that you car or van is secure. Always lock all doors and shut windows whenever leaving the vehicle, even if you are only popping in the house to get something or returning your trolley at the supermarket.

Make sure that your van has a good quality alarm and immobiliser fitted to it. Many vans come with this as standard, but if it is an older model you may need to check that if it does and that it still works. To add extra security to your vehicle, why not get a van alarm. These can be placed in the back, fixed to the panelling and will sound a loud siren should movement be detected. They can be armed and unarmed using a remote control allowing them to be set whenever the van is parked up.
