Tips to Make Sure You’re Covered During Holiday Travel

With the holidays just around the corner, now is the time to make sure you are covered in case of any mishaps while traveling. Here are three things to consider regarding your auto insurance before embarking on your holiday travels.

1) Determine Your Coverage Needs
The first step is to determine what type of coverage you need. Are you planning a road trip? If so, do you need uninsured motorist insurance? Do you plan to rent a car? Do you need rental car reimbursement or collision and comprehensive coverage for that? It’s important to assess your needs ahead of time so that you know what type of coverage will best protect you during your travels.

2) Review Your Coverage Details
If you already have auto insurance, it’s important to review your coverage details and make sure everything is up-to-date. This includes checking for any changes in coverage limits, deductibles, and other conditions that could affect your policy. It’s also important to determine whether or not your current policy covers all types of travel (e.g., ride share services). If it doesn’t, contact your insurance company and see if they can provide additional coverage for the duration of your trip.

3) Don’t Forget Other Modes of Transportation                                                           While driving is often the preferred method of travel during the holidays, there are other modes of transportation available such as flying or taking a bus or ride-share service. Before using one of these services, make sure that your auto insurance policy covers them as well as any potential liabilities associated with them. Doing so will help ensure a safe and secure trip no matter where your travels take you this holiday season!

4) Purchase Additional Insurance If Necessary  
If after reviewing your policy, it appears that additional coverage might be necessary, then it’s time to shop around for additional coverage options. Depending on where you are traveling and how long you plan on being there, purchasing additional insurance may be beneficial in case anything unexpected happens during your trip. Be sure to compare different policies and read the fine print before making a decision so that you can get the most out of whatever policy you decide on.

No matter how much preparation goes into a holiday trip, there is always room for surprises – but with the right auto insurance in place, those surprises don’t have to lead to financial disaster! By determining what type of coverage you need ahead of time and staying up-to-date on your existing policy details, as well as considering additional coverage options if necessary, you’ll be able to enjoy peace of mind knowing that whatever happens during travel season won’t put an end to
