Is Your Auto Insurance Ready for Summer Road Trips?

Long drives and unfamiliar roads are common during summer travel. Checking your auto insurance policy ahead of time can help you understand how it applies. Ackerson Insurance can help you find coverage options that match your travel needs in Iowa and wherever your vehicle might take you.

Why Review Your Auto Insurance Before a Road Trip?

Reviewing your auto insurance before a road trip can help you identify any coverage gaps. A look at your policy may help you confirm you have the coverage you need, understand your roadside assistance and rental car provisions and prepare for any claims you may need to file while traveling.

Key Coverage Areas to Check

Before any long trip, consider reviewing the following auto insurance coverage options:

• Liability coverage may pay for bodily injury or property damage you cause to others.
• Collision coverage may help cover damage to your vehicle after a collision with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault.
• Comprehensive coverage may cover noncollision damage, such as theft, fire, weather-related damage or incidents involving wildlife.
• Roadside assistance coverage may help with costs arising from breakdowns, flat tires or towing while you are on the road.
• Trip interruption coverage is often available as an endorsement and may assist with hotel costs and other expenses if you’re stranded during your travels.
• Rental car coverage may assist with costs if you need to rent a vehicle during your trip due to an accident or other covered incident.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may help cover costs if you are hit by an at-fault driver who lacks insurance or carries too little.
