In the UK, van thefts and break-ins are a growing concern, with statistics showing a significant increase in recent years, latest estimates suggest a light commercial vehicle is broken into or stolen every 12 minutes.
Incidents like these can have a significant impact on businesses, because as well as the cost of replacing the stolen equipment and repairing the damage to the van, it affects operations as normal duties are not able to be carried out adding disruption and further costs.
Most vans already have a number of security features like alarms and immobilisers as standard. There are also many products available to increase your security to add to a newly purchased or your owned van, but did you know that you can also add additional security features to commercial vehicles you take on a long-term rental.
Flexible vehicle rental and fleet solutions from the Herd Group, allows you to scale up your security with a wide range of security solutions including everything from locking and shielding solutions to alarms and cargo locks.
Having anti-theft devices installed onto your rental vehicle will deter theft and increase the difficulty for thieves to steal your vehicle. Trackers offer real time location tracking, allowing for swift recover if the vehicle is stolen and can also prevent theft in the first place by providing alerts and even immobilising the vehicle. This additional security can also lead to lower insurance premiums and provide some peace-of-mind.
