Why Are There Big Price Differences in V-16 Emergency Beacons?

If you’ve noticed that V-16 beacons range from €15 to over €50, here’s why: only the GPS-connected ones will be legal from January 1, 2026.

What’s the difference?

The approved V-16 beacons include a Vodafone SIM card.

This card works for 10 years — no subscription needed

In case of emergency, it sends your exact GPS location to Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT)

No need to leave the car to place warning triangles — safer and faster!

If you buy a non-connected beacon, it will only be valid until December 31, 2025.

Tip:

Buy a certified GPS-enabled V-16 beacon now and be ready for the future!
