If you’ve got summer road trips on your calendar, it’s a great idea to take a few minutes and look over your auto insurance. It’s not the most exciting part of travel prep but trust me—it can save your whole trip if something unexpected happens.
Start by making sure you’ve got the right mix of coverage. Comprehensive insurance handles things like hail damage or theft—perfect for those roadside motel stops. Collision helps if you get into an accident on the road. Double-check that you’ve got both, especially if you’re taking the scenic route.
Think about adding roadside assistance if you don’t already have it. A dead battery or flat tire in the middle of nowhere can ruin your vacation. For just a few bucks a month, it’s totally worth it.
And while you’re at it, consider rental car coverage too. If your car gets banged up during the trip, you don’t want to be stuck without wheels while it’s being fixed.
Bringing extra drivers or a second car? Be sure they’re listed on your policy so there are no hiccups if someone else takes the wheel. And if you’re crossing state lines—or even heading into Canada—it’s a good idea to let your agent know, just in case.
