Are You Covered for Long Trips?

As the holiday season approaches, many families prepare for long-distance journeys to visit loved ones or enjoy a winter getaway. At Boyer Insurance LLC, we want to help our clients by making sure their auto insurance is ready for the challenges of holiday travel.

Understanding Your Auto Insurance for Holiday Travel

Before heading out on a long trip, it’s wise to review your current auto insurance policy. Not all coverage is the same, and holiday driving can present unique risks. Here are a few key points to consider:

• Liability coverage. This is required by most states and helps cover damages or injuries you may cause to others in an accident.
• Comprehensive and collision coverage. These options can help pay for repairs if your vehicle is damaged by ice, snow or a collision, common risks during winter travel.
• Roadside assistance. This coverage can assist if you need a tow, jump-start or help with a flat tire.
• Rental car coverage. If your vehicle is in the shop after an accident, this coverage can help with the cost of a rental car, so your holiday plans aren’t disrupted.

Winter Driving Tips for Travelers

Staying safe on slippery roads starts with preparation. Here are a few tips for your next holiday trip:

• Check your tire tread and pressure before leaving.
• Keep an emergency kit in your car, including blankets, water and a flashlight.
• Allow extra travel time and drive at safe speeds.
• Stay updated on weather forecasts and road closures.
