Deter Van Theft with Fleet Mobility Solutions from Herd

In the UK, van thefts and break-ins represent a growing challenge for businesses. Current estimates suggest a light commercial vehicle is broken into or stolen every 12 minutes.

Beyond the immediate financial burden of replacing stolen equipment and repairing vehicle damage, these incidents disrupt operations and create additional costs when businesses cannot perform their regular duties.

While most commercial vehicles come equipped with standard security features like alarms and immobilisers, businesses can enhance protection through aftermarket solutions. Notably, companies utilising long-term rental vehicles from providers like Herd Group can incorporate security upgrades directly into their rental arrangements.

Available security enhancements include locking mechanisms, shielding solutions, alarms, and cargo locks. Trackers provide real-time location monitoring, enabling swift recovery if theft occurs and potentially preventing theft through alerts and vehicle immobilisation features. These additions often qualify customers for reduced insurance premiums.

Herd Group partners with specialist fitters to deliver customised commercial vehicles with integrated security systems. Beyond anti-theft measures, they offer signwriting, internal racking, roof racks, and protective flooring - either included in weekly payments or invoiced separately.

The company's Herd Synergy service provides tailored fleet mobility solutions combining fleet management, flexible vehicle rental, and remarketing into a comprehensive offering.
