Van theft is rising every year.
Here’s how to make it difficult for thieves to steal yours.
Your van could be gone in just minutes
Over 500 vans a year are stolen in Australia
Van theft is up almost 67% in Victoria
Vic - 37%, NSW - 30% and Qld - 18% of theft claims
Only 1 in 10 stolen vans are ever recovered
Most vans are not taken from the open road. They are taken from driveways, front yards and storage yards, usually while the owner is asleep or away. A van parked at home is highly visible and easy to hitch, and thieves know that a locked hitch alone will not stop them. Insurance is not always the safety net people assume it is. One Victorian owner lost two caravans(opens in new tab) worth around $300,000 from open air storage and found his policy did not cover it. His advice afterwards was simple: fit tracking to every van.
Four easy steps to a protected van

Buy online in a few minutes. VanAlert arrives ready to go with a Telstra or Optus SIM included.
Enrol and install it
Hardwired into your 12V system. A handy caravan owner can do it, or any auto electrician.
Arm it

Relax
If your van is moved, hitched or tampered with, the brakes lock, the siren sounds and your phone alerts you.
