Ready to head out of town on vacation? Temperatures are climbing, school is ending, and everyone is eager for a break. But there are a few things to keep in mind before you leave town in order to keep your possessions protected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Advertise That You\u2019ll Be Out Of Town<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Think about the things that happen around your home on a daily basis, so that your home doesn\u2019t look empty when you leave.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, contact the Post Office (and the newspaper) and put your services on hold. A full mailbox and a driveway full of newspapers are a sign to thieves that you\u2019re an easy target! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Can you put a few lights on a timer so that your home isn\u2019t dark all night? Even leaving on a few lamps will help. Motion sensitive lights on your porch and driveway are a great idea too!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a neighbor that you trust? Let them know of your plans, share your contact number, and consider leaving a spare key just in case. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What if a severe thunderstorm hits while you\u2019re out of town? It could knock out power or even cause a tree in your yard to fall. Your neighbor can make sure that your freezer is back on when the power restores or verify that there aren\u2019t any leaks in the roof from the storm damage! This can help prevent some bad surprises when you get home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When You\u2019re On The Road<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest tip I share with my clients is to avoid leaving valuables in the car! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many people believe that their belongings are covered by car insurance, but that is not the case. The only coverage for your luggage and computer would be on your Homeowners Insurance and it\u2019s subject to your deductible.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also, most policies offer coverage for roadside assistance and towing. This can be invaluable when you are stranded (or accidentally lock your keys in the car in an unfamiliar town). This coverage is inexpensive and quick to add to your policy. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Have questions about your insurance before your next trip? Give us a call anytime to discuss your policy or to get a quote!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
