Insurance Advice for a Road Trip

 Are you planning a trip this summer with the family? Given the cost of flights, you may opt for a road trip with your family. There are some things you cannot prepare for with a road trip. The potential never-ending “Are we there yet?” from the kids may be one of them. Something you can prepare for is issues that may arise with your vehicle while you are on the road.

Before you hit the open road, be sure to check up with your insurance agent. Long journey behind the wheel means more times where accidents and other problems could arise with your vehicle. Do you have towing coverage if your car has an issue or you are in an accident? That’s something you will be even more concerned with when you are further from home. If you need a break, you’ll most likely be staying in a hotel along the way. Would you have comprehensive coverage if your car was damaged while parked?

There are many coverages that could come in handy for you and your vehicle while you are on the road. Talk to your agent before you leave to make sure that you’re prepared when it comes to your Connecticut  auto insurance. Unfortunately, keeping the kids entertained and packing the car is up to you!
