Hitting the Road This Summer? Don’t Forget to Pack Insurance

Jun 26, 2019

While a road trip might seem like a low-stakes, low-cost holiday, there are plenty of mishaps that can occur on the road. A bit of planning beforehand can add a lot of peace of mind to your travels, and make your summer road trip even more fun and worry-free.

Emergency Medical Insurance

You may think your existing insurance will cover any potential accidents, but it’s worthwhile to contact Cane Insurance to make sure you have all the coverage you need. Even if you’re staying in Canada, a bit of extra coverage for the time you’ll be on the road can be a huge benefit in the event of an emergency.

If you decide to hop across the border, extra medical coverage is a no-brainer. Even simple things like an asthma attack, broken bone or any condition requiring an overnight stay in a hospital can add up to thousands of dollars in an American hospital. The money spent on extra coverage can save your bank account so you can afford many more holidays to come.

Driver’s Insurance

If you’re driving your own car, a quick trip to the garage for a tune-up is a great idea. If you have to make an insurance claim while on your trip, the proof that your vehicle was certified in good working order is an important step. It will also possibly prevent headaches like flat tires or the need to visit a garage in another town. After all, your road trip should be fun, and sitting in a waiting room never is.

Planning on renting a car? We can review your existing coverage to ensure it has everything you need to protect you from liability. And it can be a great idea to opt into extra coverage from the rental service if you’re travelling a long way. You might be an excellent driver, but you can’t plan for other people on the road.

More questions on the insurance you need to make your trip hassle free? You can call us at (519) 601-1100 or email our office and we’ll be happy to provide answers. Bon voyage!
