It’s no secret that high performance cars are more likely to get stolen than other cars, so these types of cars require extra safet measures than others. Not only will they help you get lower car insurance comprehensive rates over all, but most car insursance companies will give you a discount if you have more safety features on your car. So what kind of safety features do you need to get low high performance car insurance comprehensive coverage rates? An alarm. There are several types of alarms, though.

• Active vs. Passive

Alarms can be divided into two main groups, being active or pasive. A passive alarm is one that has to be activated by the driver every time they leave their car. This type of alarm is more dangerous, because it is very easy to forget to activate it, especially when you have just gotten it. The other type of alarm is an active alarm. This kind of alarm is constantly active, regardless of any involvement from the driver. The type of alarm that the car insurance companies will give you a discount for is the active alarm, because they do not trust you to be able to remember to turn the passive alarm on all the time, so your car would not be considered to be constantly protected with that type.

• Whistles, mechanical, and disablers.

Beyond that, there are three more subgroups of car alarms, and the first one is the most common that comes on most cars. It’s the alarm that just makes your lights flash and makes noise. Then there are the mechanical ones, which make it to where the thief would not be able to drive by doing things such as freezing the wheel up. Finally, there are the disabling ones. This will make it to where the thief cannot even start the car by disabling the ignition. Of all of these, the one that your high performance car insurance company will give you a discount for is the third.
