Why Car Insurance Is a Must-have When Traveling

luxury car rentalTraveling is one of the best ways to escape the daily grind. There’s nothing better than heading off on the open road to explore your dream destination. Self-drive options are one of the best ways to enjoy a new destination in your own time and at your own pace. Alas, we all must consider potential risks when setting off on adventures. 

This article will look into the importance of car insurance when traveling and highlight some considerations and pitfalls to ensure you have a hasslefree holiday. All you need to do is enjoy the ride! 

Plan Ahead 

While it may not be the most fun part of planning your trip, you should consider all the potential risks of driving. Pay attention to your planned routes. Look at the terrain and consider the weather, especially if you may drive in extreme conditions like snow or mountainous areas you do not usually drive in. 

You should also ensure that you are up to date with your travel destination’s rules of the road. Know the speed limits and other regulations, especially when driving abroad. A little light research will help you avoid silly mistakes! 

What’s Already Covered? 

When renting a car, it is advisable to consider what coverage you may already have in place before taking out extra insurance. Identify the gaps and make an informed decision about what cover you may still need for the rental vehicle. 

Don’t forget to do a detailed vehicle check before driving off and again upon the return. 

Credit Card Cover 

Credit card bookings often include some form of travel insurance. Check if it covers you for accidental damage, injury, or theft. Do check if that includes a rented vehicle too. 

Medical Cover 

Your medical insurance may cover you in case of an injury, but do be sure to consider third party injuries and liabilities. Pay careful attention to the limitations and the fine print. It will protect you in the unfortunate event of an accident or injury. 

Your Travel Package 

Travel agents or tour operators may also offer insurance cover to their clients. This is often a generic or basic, rather than a comprehensive coverage option. Look at the terms and conditions, read the fine print, and know the limitations of cover on offer. 

Business or Pleasure 

The nature of your travel may also determine the type of vehicle insurance coverage you need, or already have in place. 

Be sure to disclose whether you are traveling for business or leisure when renting a car and when taking out car insurance for traveling. Don’t assume that you are covered for leisure driving if you decide to extend a business trip for a few days of freedom when traveling.

The holidays are behind us and we are well into January. How are you keeping up with your healthy resolutions? Yeah, I get it, with everything going on it's tough to stay away from those sweet comforting goodies be it the daily latte, cookie snack or sneaky soda. But we all know that we need to kick the sugar habit to get on that path to optimal wellness. That's why I love @yoursweetkick! 1K 24

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 As you can see, I take Christmas very seriously 😂 Haha, a candid photo of me putting on my jacket before continuing to explore the magical @123farmorganics turned out to be my fave ridiculous holiday photo this year. The setting was so magical and while my face looks less than happy and appropriate for this 2020 holiday season, I can assure you that I’m all feels, holly, jolly and all jingle bell rock! I love Christmas, even  more so this year as it is allowing me to spend some comfortable quiet time in my holiday home while reflecting on the year behind me as well as looking toward the year ahead. I am so grateful for all I have and what is to come  and I wish you all a very happy and merry Christmas 🎄 #christmas #holiday #holidayseason #2020 #merrychristmas #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #christmaseve 1K 23
