Myth vs. Reality: Unraveling the Truth About Tag 

Myth 1: Installing Tag Voids Warranties or Lease Agreements 

  • Reality: Fear not! According to Tag, installing Tag won’t void warranties or invalidate lease agreements.

Myth 2: There is no Incentive to add Tag to Your Client’s Policies 

  • Reality: Tag’s theft mitigation solution not only safeguards your clients’ vehicles but also transforms your brokerage experience. Here’s how:
    • Time Savings: By proactively mitigating thefts, Tag frees up your valuable time. Say goodbye to intricate and time-consuming theft claims processes. Instead, redirect this saved time towards expanding your business and nurturing stronger client relationships.
    • Risk Profile Stability: Preventing vehicle theft minimizes the likelihood of mid-term policy adjustments. Clients affected by alterations to their risk profiles due to theft won’t disrupt your business flow. Tag keeps your clients’ risk profiles stable.

Myth 3: Tag Does Not Prevent Vehicle Theft 

  • Reality: Tag remains the industry gold standard for vehicle theft prevention. As the industry evolves, we're observing a shift in thieves' behavior toward choosing the path of least resistance. Data suggests that thieves are now bypassing cars with Tag windshield etchings in favor of those without them. 

Myth 4: Tag Installation Is Complicated and Unsafe 

  • Reality: Installing Tag is straightforward and safe. No appointments are needed, and there is no damage to your vehicle. The entire process takes less than 30 minutes.

Myth 5: Tag Monitors Driving Behavior 

  • Reality: Tag doesn’t “listen in” on drivers. Tag’s wireless devices discreetly secure your vehicle, while logo etching deters thieves. Tag only activates if a vehicle is reported stolen, acting as a beacon for law enforcement. 

Myth 6: Tag Is Cost-Prohibitive for Your Clients 

  • Reality: Clients enjoy cost savings: subsidies, waived surcharges, and financial protection against theft consequences. In fact, over a 5-year Tag subscription, your clients can save up to $2,500 per vehicle, all for an upfront cost of approximately $300

Tag isn’t just a technology; it’s a promise. A promise to protect what matters most. So, debunk the myths, embrace the truth, and let Tag keep your client’s wheels safe.
