The best steering wheel lock is the one that will protect your car when you are not using it.
A steering wheel lock prevents thieves from stealing your car by making it difficult for them to drive the car.
There are plenty of steering wheel locks on the market and most will fit almost any car. There are something you need to concider before you purchase a steering wheel lock.
- The size of your steering wheel
- Are they indpendley tested
- Do they fit correctly
- Every day use
After testing multiple steering wheel locks, we have found that there are only two brands we would recommend.
Both my wife and I tested each lock for everyday use and security, and the results were surprising.
We went to an industry expert to find out his thoughts and he concluded that we were correct.
The best steering wheel locks for any car is the Disklok, Stoplock Pro, or Stoplock Pro Elite.
However, there are some differences you need to know before you purchase.
The Stoplock Elite Pro is our preferred every day steering wheel lock when running around town with three kids in tow.
This lock takes up less room and offers a good visual deterent, they are easy to fit and remove and won’t break the bank costing around £45 at the time of writing. Best prices on the market listed below.
However, for both of us, the Disklok offered much more security. However, there was a trade-off: we couldn’t comfortably store the Disklock in the car unless we placed it in the boot (pain).
It is also double the weight of the Stoplock Pro Elite coming in at 5kg and almost quadruple the price costing around £135 – £200 see best prices below.

Summary
The best steering wheel lock for your car depends on your daily needs. Do you want something more secure or something for everyday use?
I know we forgot to fit the Disklok in the boot a few times when we first got it, so that was one big drawback. The Stoplock Pro seemed to fit our needs as a family better, was easy to use, easy to store, and offered that extra peace of mind for the right price.
