Planning Your Road Trip: Do you have Car Insurance?

What are the benefits of car insurance?

Why is car insurance so important?

Car insurance is one of those things that people sometimes forget about when they are planning a new trip. Usually, your current car insurance will cover anywhere you drive within your country of residence, but what if you aren’t going to be in your country? What if you aren’t going to be in your car? Car insurance isn’t just for your hometown or home country.

Do you really want to spend 90% of your budget fixing a rental car because the insurance doesn’t cover the engine blowing up or trying to explain to the police that you didn’t realize you were liable if the car was stolen? Have you tried renting a motorhome and had some problems along the way? Take an advanced look at the motorhome insurance comparison site and blogs to ensure you get the best coverage.

Insurance is compulsory with most rentals, but you want to understand precisely what is covered and what is not. In addition, you may find that your credit card, bank, or auto insurance policy provides better coverage than the expensive policy offered by the rental agency.

Even if you are renting a car, you want to make sure that your insurance coverage will be enough to cover any damages or incidentals whether you or another driver is at fault. A few other considerations are theft, damage while parked, and mechanical failures.

There are a huge number of variations in auto insurance policies. Some of them actually cost you more money with the deductible than you would pay if you were to take the cash out of pocket. You have two choices:

  • Read the coverage very carefully or
  • Ask the right questions and make sure the agent shows you where the details are in the policy.
  • It should not be an option to just trust that everything will be alright.

Auto insurance is one thing people forget to consider before they travel, but I suggest you move it to one of the top priority positions.
