Quick Answer: You can Hide your Airtags basically anywhere in your car. The main thing is to find a place where thieves will not find it.
Apple’s Airtag is a cheap yet effective device to help you keep track of your belongings. It can keep track of your pets and luggage. It can prevent thefts and, of course, can find lost and stolen items.
Given its powerful capabilities, you may be inclined to hide your AirTags in your car to protect against possible theft or perhaps to locate the car in a crowded parking lot.
Because the AirTag doesn’t need regular charging, you might be tempted to make a one-time investment in the tracking device and put it somewhere safe inside your car (or bike) as a preventive measure against theft.
In theory, the live location of your car’s movements can assist law enforcement agencies in recovering your car.
And we have already witnessed one such fortunate incident when a US couple managed to recover their Toyota Camry thanks to the AirTags hidden in the car.

Places to hide an AirTag in your car
When it comes to hiding an AirTag in a car, you have to be smart. It has to be well-hidden so that a thief does not discover and remove them.
Here are a few discreet spots to hide an AirTag in a car, but don’t limit your imagination with these options.
Hiding AirTags in the front bumper
Use adhesives or some sort of magnetic case to secure the AirTags inside the body of the front bumper.
This will not only allow your AirTags to connect more rapidly with nearby devices, but it will also remain hidden as it is an unlikely location that the suspects would not bother to check while they are on the run.
Hiding AirTags in the trunk
The AirTags can be hidden in the car trunk. There are many panels within the trunk, and because it is dark and gloomy in there, the AirTags are unlikely to attract attention.
For further safety, you can place them in a small bottle covered with black duct tape.
Hiding AirTags in the sunglasses holder
The sunglasses holder behind the rearview mirror ensures that the AirTags benefit from an excellent range while hiding them in plain sight.
