Why Do People Need Armored Cars?

People need armored vehicles for personal security and protection against theft, carjacking, gunfire, kidnapping, and targeted attacks in risky environments. Alpine Armoring, with more than 30 years of experience in vehicle armoring, serves clients, including United States federal agencies, and provides armored vehicles addressing critical personal safety needs:

1. High-Profile Protection: Celebrities and corporate executives who operate in risky environments often require discreet luxury armored cars that maintain their high-profile image while providing comprehensive ballistic protection during business operations and public appearances.

2. Safety in Dangerous Areas: Journalists rely on armored vehicles for field operations in conflict zones. News organizations invest in armored cars to ensure their employees can safely document events in hostile territories without compromising their mission.

3. Family Safety: Families living in high-risk neighborhoods usually opt for bulletproof cars, such as an armored Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban, for everyday use. Alpine Armoring helps families add an extra layer of security for their loved ones with an armored vehicle, especially during trips or daily commutes.

4. Transporting Valuables: Banks use armored vehicles equipped with ballistic glass, reinforced panels, opaque armor, and anti-explosion and anti-ricochet features to prevent robberies. Art collectors and jewelry dealers rely on bulletproof vehicles and bullet-resistant glass to counter smash-and-grab attacks.

5. Diplomatic Protection: Government officials and diplomats facing constant threats require armored vehicles during campaigns and official visits. Alpine Armoring’s bulletproof Mercedes-Benz S-Class and armored Mercedes-Maybach platforms serve diplomats, typically through armored vehicle rental programs.

Alpine Armoring’s luxury armored vehicles offer twelve armoring levels, ranging from A1 (CEN B1) against .38 Special rounds to A12 (B7+) .50 BMG-resistant standards, ensuring secure travel with each vehicle.

Whether through vehicle purchasing or rental options, Alpine Armoring’s armored cars deliver peace of mind by combining luxury and security with discreet protection against unpredictable threats, all while maintaining normal operations and blending with traffic.
