Three Tips Before You Leave for Vacation

By March 8, 2022March 8th, 2023Auto Insurance

 Spring break is coming! Here are three ways to avoid an insurance claim while you are gone:
 
Precautions at Home
A house that looks empty is a prime target for thieves! Make sure all doors and windows are locked before you leave. Have someone pick up your mail. Set your lights on timers. Let your neighbors know you when you will be gone. 
 
Protecting Your ID
One of the leading causes of identity theft is a stolen wallet or purse. When it comes to identification, credit cards, and cash – only take what you need. Store your credit cards, cash, and other important documents in a safe place. 
 
Vehicle Recommendations
Have your car serviced before you leave, including checking your tires. If you are renting a car, purchase the collision damage waiver from the rental company. Help prevent an auto break-in by never leaving a purse, computer, phone, or any valuable items in sight when you leave your car.
 
Finally, have fun! Make it a point to disconnect and enjoy your family time.
