There’s nothing more exciting than hitting the road with your friends or family for the road trip of a lifetime … that is, until something like car trouble ruins the fun. Insurance add-ons are additional coverage options you can include in your policy to ensure you have the benefits you need. Here are a few to consider adding to your auto insurance before you leave Bloomfield, NJ.
Roadside Assistance
Most roadside assistance add-ons include various helpful features. This can include helping you change a tire or towing your vehicle to the nearest mechanic if it breaks down. Some policies cover towing your vehicle anywhere you want within a certain number of miles.
Fuel Delivery
Most roadside assistance packages include fuel delivery, but it’s important to double-check with an agent at E.S.T.I.R. Inc. to make sure. Fuel delivery means that the insurance company will have someone bring you gas instead of you being left stranded or having to walk along a dangerous road.
Rental Car Coverage
A car accident can be devastating. It also makes it impossible to finish your road trip. If everyone’s fine, there’s no reason you should stop having fun. Ensuring you have rental car coverage means that you’ll be able to get back on the road after a car accident.
Preparing for a Road Trip
There are a few things you should do before you hit the road, aside from contacting an insurance agent. Double-check your fluids and tire pressure. Make sure anything that was wrong with your car is fixed, even if it’s something that seems small, like an O2 sensor.
Pack jumper cables, a jack, and a spare tire. Include a first-aid kit. Keep extra snacks and water in the trunk in case you get stranded.
