Transportation Process

Car Booking Service

Car booking has always been relevant for company vehicles carrying various values. For example, cars of collectors. But despite the fact that this is a complicated and not the cheapest procedure, passenger cars for personal use are also booked. Each car owner has his own reasons for that, but is it worth saying that an armored car is in every sense much safer than its non-armored counterpart?

Booking a car body is not an easy process, which is why the cost of such a service is quite high. As well as the purchase of a “finished” armored vehicle from the manufacturer. Since armor weighs a lot, not every vehicle is suitable for booking. On average, after booking, the weight of the car increases 2 or even 3 times. However, car glass booking is possible regardless of the type of car.

Car Booking Protection Levels

The armor that is available for cars has its own classes or levels. From the very “basic” B1, which means an ordinary passenger car without any armor, to the B12, which is rarely found within the city, since such armor can withstand any caliber, a mine explosion or a grenade.

The remaining levels of protection of the car’s booking are as follows:

B2 is the most “basic” level of protection, which is enough to protect the cabin from several bullets from a conventional pistol;

  • B3 – slightly more durable protection, which also protects against bullets with a steel core;
  • Armor level B4 will protect vehicles from pistol bullets with a 45-caliber (from a distance of three meters);
  • B5 can withstand short-term shooting from an M-16 rifle (from a distance of 10 m);
  • B6 protects against firing from a machine gun (for example, AK-47) from a distance of 10 m. B6 is the most used and widespread degree of car booking;
  • B7 withstands rifle fire and fragmentation grenades.

Car Body And Glass Armoring

Since the protective shell in most cases is created from the inside of the car, the car must be disassembled during the booking procedure. Everything that can be removed from the inside – panels, upholstery, cladding, and so on – is removed and all cavities are filled with metal. Depending on the chosen protection level, the metal may differ.

The simplest option is sheet metal, with Kevlar or ballistic nylon for high-level armor. Some seemingly insignificant elements are also reserved – for example, door hinges. This is necessary so that the door remains in place and does not warp under the significantly increased weight. In addition to metal, ballistic fabrics with aramid fibers are also used to arm the ceiling and floor.

As for the armoring of the car windshield and all other glasses, polycarbonate is used for this. Or lead glass for a higher degree of protection. The thickness also varies with the degree of booking. For example, for grade B2, armored glass will have a thickness of 2 cm, but for level B7 it will already be up to 5 cm. Shooting at glass of maximum thickness is practically useless.

It would seem that the most vulnerable part of an armored car is its wheels. Nevertheless, the tires on armored cars are distinguished only by more reinforced sidewalls, and the wheel itself is equipped with a supporting component. Thus, a car can travel on “punctured” wheels for about 50 kilometers. Another option is to equip the inside of the wheel with a special polymer ring, which, in the event of a breakdown, allows the car to cover another 90 kilometers.
