When planning a vacation, it is easy to focus only on the fun parts of traveling, such as booking your rental property, packing for your travels, and finding fun local activities for your trip. However, you should also take a moment to understand how summer travels may affect your auto insurance coverage. Here are a few details to keep in mind during your upcoming vacations.

1. Your Auto Insurance Policy Covers Other Drivers

If you plan to drive to your destination, you may want to share driving duties with your friends and family members. As long as the individual driving your car has permission to operate your vehicle, your auto insurance policy will cover them if they get into an accident while operating your vehicle.

If you live in an area at high risk for earthquakes, understand that your standard home insurance policy doesn’t cover damage caused by earthquakes. While earthquake insurance is expensive, you stand to lose a lot without it given the potentially extensive damage such a disaster can cause.

Earthquake coverage is available as an endorsement to your home insurance policy or as a separate policy. Consider these factors when you buy a policy.

Life insurance is a valuable protective service. Even though the benefits that this type of policy brings makes it a priority for many people, one specific age group isn’t taking advantage of this insurance option. The Millennial generation isn’t buying life insurance at the same rates as the generations before them.

Whether you’re a millennial yourself or a parent or family member of a millennial who doesn’t have life insurance, understanding the importance of purchasing a policy is absolutely essential. If you think that life insurance is only for retired or the elderly, then take a look at what young adults need to know about this type of coverage.
