Holiday Travel Ahead? Make Sure Your Auto Insurance Has You Covered
The holidays are one of the busiest travel times of the year — and one of the riskiest. Between unpredictable weather, heavy traffic, and distracted drivers, having the right auto insurance coverage is key to keeping your season merry and bright.
1. Review Your Coverage Before You Hit the Road
Check that your policy includes comprehensive and collision coverage, especially if you’re driving through snow or ice. Comprehensive coverage protects against things like falling branches, theft, and hail — common in winter.
2. Add Roadside Assistance
A flat tire, dead battery, or getting stuck in the snow can quickly derail holiday plans. Roadside assistance coverage can save you time and frustration if the unexpected happens on your trip.
3. Confirm Rental Car Coverage
If you’re flying and renting a car, review whether your auto policy extends coverage to rental vehicles — it often does, but it’s worth confirming so you can skip unnecessary rental counter add-ons.
4. Prep Your Vehicle
Before a long drive, check your tires, battery, wiper blades, and fluids. Pack an emergency kit with blankets, snacks, and jumper cables — just in case.
5. Drive Safely
Plan extra travel time, avoid distractions, and slow down in icy conditions. Arriving safely is always more important than arriving quickly.
