Some auto insurance companies are responding to high rates of vehicle theft by introducing a surcharge of $500 on the insurance premiums for vehicles that are at an increased risk of being stolen. However, getting this surcharge waived or receiving a discount on your comprehensive car insurance coverage may be possible if you invest in anti-theft measures for your vehicle. Eligible measures vary based on the car insurance company you're with but may include installing a steering wheel lock, wheel and tire lock, or brake pedal lock on your car.
