Football & Apple Picking Season: Is Your Auto Insurance Ready for the Road?
As the excitement of football season builds and the weather cools, many of us look forward to hitting the road for weekend getaways—whether it’s cheering on your favorite team, picking apples in the mountains, or simply enjoying a scenic drive. With busy highways and unpredictable travel conditions, it’s important to make sure your auto insurance policy is ready for anything the season might bring.
We’ll cover what you need to know before your next road trip, why a policy review is so valuable, and how adding affordable coverage like roadside assistance can bring you peace of mind on your fall adventures.
Traveling This Season? Check Your Auto Policy
Fall weekends often mean more cars on the road, especially near college towns, stadiums, and popular seasonal destinations. Before you pack the car and head out, consider these important insurance tips:
1. Review Your Coverage
Insurance isn’t something you want to discover you’re missing after an accident or breakdown. Reviewing your policy regularly ensures you have the coverage you need for things like:
Accidents and collisions
Uninsured or underinsured drivers
Vehicle damage from unexpected incidents (like hitting a deer or stormy weather)
Comprehensive coverage for theft, fire, or vandalism
If it’s been a while since your last review, now’s a great time to check in with your insurance agent and discuss whether your current policy matches your travel habits and needs.
2. Add Roadside Assistance for Extra Security
A flat tire, dead battery, or locked doors can turn a fun trip into a stressful situation. That’s where roadside assistance comes in:
What’s Included: Towing, jump-starts, lockout services, fuel delivery, and more.
Affordable Peace of Mind: Roadside assistance is typically an inexpensive addition to your policy, but it can be invaluable during unexpected travel mishaps.
24/7 Support: No matter where your travels take you, help is just a phone call away.
If you don’t have roadside assistance yet, ask your agent about adding it before your next trip. It’s a small investment that pays big dividends in convenience and peace of mind.
3. Mind the Traffic and Stay Safe
Busier roads during football games and popular weekends mean more potential hazards. Allow extra travel time, avoid distractions, and always drive defensively—especially in heavy traffic or unfamiliar areas.
Whether you’re planning a day at the stadium, a mountain getaway, or a tour of local orchards, make sure your auto insurance is up-to-date and tailored to your needs. A quick policy review—and the addition of roadside assistance if you don’t already have it—will help ensure your travels are memorable for all the right reasons.
