Traveling comes with a lot of baggage - from renting a car to keeping your assets secure!

Pack these tips when vacation planning. 

Summer is the biggest travel season in the United States and abroad, with many individuals and families shaking off work stress and enjoying new sights. As with any adventure, summer vacations take careful planning to map out.

Here are a few important steps you can take ahead of time to ensure your travel plans are easy, breezy, and hassle-free:
Freeze Your Social Media
Although it may be tempting to share your fabulous vacation plans on social media, it doesn't take much to alert would-be thieves that your home is empty.

Timing is Everything 
Invest in 'smart' timers to control your lights when you're away from home. Turning the lights on and off at different times makes it look like someone is home, which can play a big role in deterring burglars. 
Planning for your long-term financial security is even more challenging than vacation planning. Contact our agency to plan your insurance itinerary!

There's No Place Like Home (Security!)
Consider installing a home security system. Prices have dropped substantially in recent years, and some systems you can even install yourself. Also, alert your insurance agent that you're shopping for a system. Your investment may qualify you for a policy discount.

Read Between the Lines When Renting a Car
Think carefully before purchasing insurance at the rental counter. In many cases, comprehensive and collision coverage from your auto insurance policy may provide enough protection without the need to purchase additional policies. If you plan on renting, contact Warth Insurance Agency to see if additional protection makes sense, as well as identify gaps in coverage pertinent when you waive insurance from the rental car company.

You may not be able to pack us in your suitcase (unfortunately!), but you can take our knowledge along for the trip. Contact our agency if any questions arise.

Safe travels,
Warth Insurance Agency
