Between holiday shopping and travel, now is the peak time of year to lose your luggage and your car. And unless you bought it brand-new within the last five years, chances are you can’t natively keep tabs on your vehicle’s location from an app on your iPhone. Even if you can, that most likely means signing up for another subscription. Apple AirTags are a more cost-effective solution, especially while the four-pack set is on sale for $73 — a 26% discount off the usual $99.

In true Apple fashion, AirTags are characterized by their intuitive, user-friendly approach to one of life’s great struggles: forgetting where you parked — or, worst case scenario, having your car swiped..
In either case, setting up an AirTag is easy, justhold it near your iPhone or iPad and press a single button to add it to your Find My devices. It then interfaces with local Apple devices, utilizing encrypted communications to provide the most up-to-date location of the AirTag, no subscription necessary. The only caveat is that since it relies on the Find My network, your tracked items will need to be in a somewhat populated area for the most accurate results.
Needless to say, AirTags are the clear winner for Apple users keeping tabs on their cars, trucks, and SUVs. But weighing just 0.39 ounces each and measuring 1.26 inches in diameter, one AirTag is also barely larger than a quarter, ideal for tracking keychains, backpacks, handbags, and other valuable possessions. Although they aren’t rechargeable, the CR2032 batteries are replaceable. That said, the batteries included with the AirTags should last you about a year.

In short, AirTags are the “ultimate finder,” according to one reviewer.
“The AirTags 4-pack has proven to be an invaluable tool for keeping track of my belongings,” the customer added. “They fit easily into wallets, bags, and even on keychains without adding bulk.” Another called them, “Reliable and easy to use.”
“These were a lifesaver!” another shopper exclaimed. “An AirTag on my car keys helped in locating them (and my wallet which was also lost) when they fell into an active city street at night. Can’t recommend [the] use of airtags highly enough!!!”
With seamless location tracking derived from an expansive network of hundreds of millions of devices, this AirTags bundle was already an excellent value at $99. Although it was $4 cheaper at the start of November according to CamelCamelCamel, it’s unlikely you’ll find the set for a lower price than $73 in time for the holidays.
