Before delivery: write your hypercar security brief

Give the appointment a purpose

Start with the outcome you need. You may be arranging a first delivery, bringing a newly acquired car into a collection, or moving an existing vehicle to a different storage location. Those are different briefs. Explain the situation before discussing a product.

Record the model and build year, the expected delivery date and the person authorised to approve the work. If the car is still with a dealer, confirm when it will actually be available. An anticipated arrival date is useful for planning, but it is not the same as an agreed installation appointment.

Collect the requirements in one place

Ask your insurer or broker to provide the specific security requirement in writing. Pass that wording to the installer rather than summarising it as “a tracker is needed”. If there is a deadline, include it in the brief and ask what information is needed to assess suitability.

List any existing security equipment you know about, including a tracker fitted by a previous keeper. Where information is missing, mark it as unconfirmed. The installer can then identify what needs checking without treating a guess as an established fact.

Agree the sequence, not just the date

Write down the intended order of events: vehicle available, installation, account activation where relevant, owner demonstration, documentation and collection. Ask who is responsible for each step. The aim is to avoid a delivery team expecting to release a car while another party is still waiting for access or approval.

If a transporter or storage team is involved, ask the relevant security provider what movement or service arrangements apply to the selected system. Do not assume the procedure for another car in the collection will be identical.

Make the handover useful to the owner

Arrange for the person who will use the car to receive a demonstration. If an owner representative is attending, decide how the owner will receive the information afterwards. Ask about everyday authorisation, additional drivers, support and any ongoing subscription.

Keep operating and recovery information in an appropriate private place. Public delivery photographs can celebrate the car without showing security credentials, account screens or fitting details. Your first enquiry does not need a VIN or a storage access code.

A brief you can use

• Hypercar model, build year and current location.
• Owner or representative authorised to approve the work.
• Written insurer requirements and any deadline.
• Known existing equipment; unknown details clearly marked.
• Proposed installation premises and vehicle availability.
• Person receiving the demonstration and documents.
• Next planned movement, collection or dealer visit.

Send the model, year, postcode and a broad outline through our enquiry page to start. Detailed vehicle information can follow in a direct conversation once it is needed.
