The full test

Watch the whole thing.

One short, start to finish. No cuts to hide the hard parts.

Hand reaching through shattered car window

Why lock anything in your car

A smash-and-grab takes under a minute. He knows where you hid it.

Glass, grab, gone. A thief doesn’t search your car. He checks the same few spots every car has, in order. Police solve fewer than 1 in 20 reported car break-ins, so whatever he takes stays taken.

  • The glove box.First place he looks.
  • The center console.Second place he looks.
  • Under the seat.Third. He’s still under a minute.
  • A lock box on a cable.Bolt cutters take about four seconds, and the box leaves with them.

Your car has steel anchors. We lock a safe to them.

You might not know they’re there. Every passenger vehicle sold in the US since the 2003 model year has them, by federal standard FMVSS 225. A child seat clicks into them. So does a Boosted Safe.

  • Locked to the car.Two steel latches grab the same bars that hold a child seat in a crash. The release is inside the safe.
  • Looks like a booster seat.Nobody breaks a window for a booster seat.
  • Opens in a second.Fingerprint first. Keypad and key behind it.

Why it's a Boosted Safe

Steel. Fingerprint. Anchors.

Almost everyone picks the Elite. Compare every model

Still think you could get in? Pick another tool.

Straight answers.

So can anyone get in?

With enough time and enough tools, nothing is secure. That’s true of your house too. What you get is a steel box latched to the car, with the release inside it, that turns a one-minute smash-and-grab into a slow, loud job in a back seat. And if a thief damages your safe or somehow beats it, we send you a new one, free.

Can a thief just take the whole safe?

It is latched to steel anchors welded to the car’s body, and the release is inside the safe. To take it out, someone has to open it first. With enough time and enough tools nothing is secure. Our job is to make a smash-and-grab need far more of both than a thief brings to a parking lot.

Are the test videos real?

Yes. They’re our own clips, filmed on real cars with real tools. The grenade and the nuclear bomb are jokes. We did not get the permits.

Which cars does it fit?

US passenger vehicles from model year 2003 have lower anchors in the back seat (LATCH in the US, ISOFIX everywhere else). Heavy-duty pickups over 8,500 lb and regular cabs may not: check yours in a minute. The safe clips to the anchors in under a minute, no tools. For an older vehicle, or a spot without anchors, the Universal Anchor Adapter (coming soon) adds the same latch points.

How do I open it?

Finger on the reader and the lid lifts, in about a second. The Elite also opens with a keypad code or the backup key. If the battery dies, a USB-C port on the front powers it up long enough to open.

What fits inside?

The Boosted Safe Elite is 15.1 × 13.6 × 4.25 inches inside: a 16-inch laptop, passports, wallet, a camera, a pistol (unloaded). Every Elite comes with a Faraday bag that fits a 16-inch laptop, an iPad or a phone.

Can I keep a gun in it?

Yes, unloaded. Laws on guns in cars differ by state, so check yours; this isn’t legal advice. If you want the one certified for firearms, get the Golden Gate Elite: 12-gauge steel, and it’s on the California DOJ’s list of certified firearm safety devices.

Is there a deal if I buy more than one?

Yes, and it gets cheaper. Buy one, get one half off: 25% off every safe when you buy 2 to 9, and 30% off at 10 or more. All six safes count together, mixed or matched: Elite, Basic, Mini Elite, Mini Basic, Golden Gate Elite and Golden Gate Basic. Refurbished safes don’t count, and it doesn’t stack with other codes. Bigger order or a question? Call or text 202-BOOSTED and a real person in Utah answers.

When does it ship?

The Boosted Safe Elite is in stock and ships in one business day. Shipping is free on orders of $299 or more.

What if I don’t like it?

Put it in your car and live with it. If it isn’t for you, send it back inside 30 days for a refund. Defects are covered for as long as you own it.

You picked your tool. Now pick your safe.

The Boosted Safe Elite. Steel, latched to your car in under a minute, hidden under a booster-seat cover, open with your finger. Two cars? Buy one, get one half off.
