One way that you can get great value young driver car insurance is by making sure that your car features plenty of shrewd security devices such as an immobiliser.
Many new models come with immobilisers fitted as standard but you can also choose to have one fitted by a professional, who will supply a certificate of installation specifying the exact model of your car's immobiliser.
You can then take this to your motor insurance provider to prove you have an immobiliser fitted to your car and save ££s on your premium. Your car insurance company will consider you a lower risk policy holder since an immobiliser, either manual or electronic, works by literally immobilising your car when not in use and making you less of a target for car thieves. This means you may well get a low cost young driver car insurance rate as a result.
Manual immobiliser
A manual immobiliser will actually prevent your car being driven by locking the steering wheel and it is a great deterrent for thieves. It can be quickly and easily fitted and removed from the steering wheel with the aid of a key or krooklok.
Electronic immobiliser
The electronic immobiliser can work in a number of ways. The most common systems disable the starter motor, fuel pump or the ignition system, some may immobilise all three to make your car extra safe-guarded.
Biometric immobiliser
Unfortunately, the addition of a regular immobiliser does not always stop expert car thieves who may steal your keys from your home or target your car when it is left unattended for a few moments.
Technological wizards have thought up a way to overcome this problem with the ATY-1 system. This arms itself automatically 10 seconds after the ignition has been switched off, which does not allow car thieves enough time to slip in and override the immobilisation system. The immobiliser can then only be disarmed when the fingerprint of the owner or a recognised user is scanned by the system. For more details visit http://www.atrd.co.uk/home.html
