Frequently Asked Questions

Alert My Car is a smart vehicle notification service that lets people quickly alert you if there is an issue with your parked vehicle — without sharing your phone number or personal details. It gives others a safe and simple way to help protect your vehicle when you are away.

Most vehicle problems happen unexpectedly and are not always your fault. Alert My Car helps people notify you about real-world issues your car app or alarm system may not detect, such as:

• Someone damaging your vehicle
• Suspicious activity near your car
• Flat tyres or leaks
• Parking emergencies
• Vehicle obstruction issues
• Doors left open
• Broken windows
• Alarm repeatedly sounding
• Unsafe situations spotted by others

It is about peace of mind, not bad parking.

Some newer vehicles can notify you about things like lock status, battery levels or certain vehicle settings. However, vehicle apps cannot see what people around your vehicle can see in the real world. Alert My Car allows real people to quickly notify you about situations technology alone cannot detect.

You place an Alert My Car QR sticker on your vehicle. If someone notices a problem, they scan the QR code, select the issue and submit the report. We then notify you through the Alert My Car system. No app is required.

People can report common real-world vehicle concerns such as:

• Vehicle damage
• Suspicious activity
• Flat tyre
• Doors or windows left open
• Blocking another vehicle
• Parking obstruction
• Parking fines or towing risk
• Lights left on
• Leaking fluids
• Alarm sounding
• Unsafe driving concerns for business fleets
• Other vehicle-related concerns
