There are a few ways players can get their personal vehicle back in Grand Theft Auto Online depending on how they lost the car. For a vehicle that's destroyed in GTA Online, either by the player or someone else, players will need to have a tracker and vehicle insurance. Otherwise, the vehicle is unable to be recovered. For a vehicle impounded by the police, players will need to pay to get their car back or steal it out of the designated lot.
Personal vehicles are one of the biggest unlockables players can obtain in GTA Online. Nearly every car available is fully customizable, and some have special abilities, like the flying Deluxo car. Players can change the color, body, rims, and horn and can purchase insurance when customizing their car. There are a lot of personal vehicles in GTA Online for players to purchase and customize, but expensive cars might be lost forever if players aren't careful.
Once players purchase or unlock a vehicle they want to keep in GTA Online, they will need to add a tracker and insurance. Doing so will allow players to recover a vehicle that has been destroyed by contacting the insurance company and paying to get their car back. Players may also lose their vehicle if they're caught by the police, so they'll need to either pay a fine or steal their car out of the police impound in order to get it back.
Getting a Vehicle Back in Grand Theft Auto Online
As soon as players get a new vehicle in GTA Online, they should bring it to Los Santos Customs to buy a tracker and insurance for it. Alternatively, players can purchase a garage in GTA Online, and then any vehicle they buy will automatically have insurance and a tracker installed. Players can also choose to have the vehicle parked in a specific garage if they own more than one. If a vehicle with a tracker and insurance is destroyed, players just need to call Mors Mutual Insurance and pay the fee to have their vehicle restored. If it was destroyed by another player, then the fee will automatically be paid by the person who destroyed it.
When players are caught by the police in GTA Online, they may need to recover their personal vehicle from the impound. They can either go into the impound lot and steal their car back or go to the gate and pay the fee to get it back. When a car is stolen, players will immediately be wanted by the police, so they risk being caught again. The impound will be indicated on the map by the white vehicle marker that displays the player's personal vehicle location.
Personal vehicles give players the opportunity to express themselves and try a variety of interesting cars, like the Go-Kart in GTA Online. If players want to keep their vehicles, they will either need to store them in an owned garage or bring them to Los Santos to pay for insurance and a tracker. Players can also lose their vehicle after being arrested, so they'll need to retrieve it from an impound. GTA Online includes a variety of customizable vehicles that players can lose if they aren't careful.
