The Holidays are in full swing and with Christmas just a couple of days
away; many have already started their Holiday travels. Being the
insurance people that we are, here are a few tips for a safe and secure
season of travel.
3) Car travelers should be prepared for heavy snow at all times. The
best way to do this is to make sure you have extra blankest, windshield
washer fluid, ice scrapers and even a small shovel. You never know when
you might need any of those things. Also, be sure to have your phone
charged during the trip so that you have it in case of an emergency.
4) Don’t skimp on heat in your home: This time last year our big recommendation in our “Traveling Over the Holiday” blog article was to keep the heat in your house at a reasonable level so your pipes don’t freeze. Again, we recommend this.
1) Make your home seem like someone is still there. You can do this
several ways. Leave your front and back porch lights on so that at night
your house is lit up. Ask a neighbor to collect your mail while you are
gone so it doesn’t stack up. You can also ask the post office to hold
if for you until you get back. Another way to make it look like you are
home is to ask a neighbor to pull in and out of your driveway at some
point if it snows giving the appearance that you have been in and out of
your house.
2) Don’t show off to the Facebook world that you are on vacation. I know
this can be tough for some but letting everyone know you are out of
town on Facebook can be dangerous. We recommend waiting until you get
home from your trip before you post vacation pictures.
