Leap Safely Into Spring Break

Ah, Spring Break. For some, it represents fond memories and inspires us to take a weekend to relax. For others, it is a time to figure out what to do with the kids. And for the lucky few, it’s a time to ditch the winter jacket and head somewhere warm for a pleasant rest.

But before you hunker down or head out, there are a few things you can do to prepare for Spring Break. Check out these ideas to get ahead of risk and leave worry in the rearview mirror:

• Travel Coverages - Not trip insurance. Your existing policies may have some useful ways to support you if something happens. Look for things like Roadside Assistance and Renters Coverage on your Auto policy, and Personal Property coverage on your Homeowners or Renters policy.
• Road Ready - If you’re driving, do the basics to minimize your chances of a bumpy road: change your oil, check your tires, and pack an emergency kit.
• Home Fortress - Secure your homefront before you leave. Set lights on timers to deter intruders, avoid posting travel plans on social media and check your policies for information on theft coverage.

With all that done, you can head out over the hills for a quick getaway. Have a great Break!
