What does a car tracker look like?
I found something weird on my car this morning and I’m worried that it might be a tracker of some kind. I’m a little nervous about it. How can I tell if it’s a tracker?

If it is a tracker was placed without your knowledge, it’s likely that you’re dealing with a portable tracker like the ones from CarLock.
These devices are typically small, black boxes that are about the size of a smartphone, and they may have a portable battery pack attached to them as well.
If you’re worried that someone may have placed a tracker on your vehicle, it’s a good idea to remove the device. It will typically be attached via magnet, so it should come off relatively easily. You can also report the incident to the police if you’re concerned for your safety.
While you’re learning about car trackers, why not learn about your insurance options, too? Check out the
