If you have an iPhone, I think it automatically will notify you if one is in the area (not sure, I'm an Android guy)

I'm Apple. We put an Air Tag in my teenager's car (our car, they are a minor) connected to my wife's phone. I get notifications on my phone that an Air Tag is near me when I drive it. Two words of caution, the accuracy and frequency the tag sends data is dependent on other mobile devices in proximity, so there may be gaps in data. Also, there is a delay, it can be a day or two before you get the notice.
