Keep Your Vehicle Safe with a Van Security Checklist
Owning a van, whether for business or personal use, comes with the responsibility of protecting it from theft. Vans are often targeted due to the valuable tools or goods they carry, making vehicle security a top priority for owners across the UK. A quick and easy way to assess your setup is by using a dedicated tool to evaluate your current measures and pinpoint areas for improvement.
Why Van Protection Matters
Theft statistics show that vans are stolen at an alarming rate, often because basic safeguards are overlooked. Simple steps, like installing a steering lock or parking in well-lit areas, can make a huge difference. Beyond physical deterrents, modern solutions such as GPS trackers offer an extra layer of reassurance by helping recover a stolen vehicle. Taking a few minutes to review your precautions can save you from the headache and cost of a break-in.

FAQs
How accurate is the van security score?
The score is a helpful guide based on common security practices and features. It’s calculated from the number of protective measures you’ve implemented out of our checklist of 10-12 key items. While it’s not a definitive measure—since real-world risks vary—it gives you a solid starting point to understand where your van stands and what to prioritise.
What if I don’t know if my van has certain security features?
No worries! If you’re unsure about something like an immobiliser or alarm system, just check your van’s manual or chat with a mechanic. For now, leave the box unchecked in the tool, and it’ll flag that as an area to investigate. We’ll also provide tips on why it matters and how to add it if needed.
Can this tool prevent my van from being stolen?
While no tool can guarantee 100% protection, our checklist helps you identify weak spots and take steps to reduce risks. Think of it as a roadmap to better security—by following the tailored advice, like adding window grilles or parking smarter, you’re making your van a much tougher target for thieves.
