The holiday season is in full swing, and as the year draws to a close, it is the perfect time to review your insurance coverage. Whether you are wrapping up Christmas presents, planning New Year’s festivities, or preparing for the year ahead, here are some key insurance tips to keep you and your loved ones protected.
Insure Valuable Christmas Presents
Insure Valuable Christmas Presents Did you know that high-value gifts, such as jewelry, electronics, or even artwork, may need additional insurance coverage? Standard homeowners or renters insurance policies often have limits on coverage for valuable items. Make sure to update your policy or consider scheduling these items for the best protection in case of theft, loss, or damage.
Consider changes to your Home Insurance
Adding a new pet to the family? Review your policy to make sure there aren’t limitations for certain breeds or types of animals. Adding a trampoline or a pool? Review with your agent to verify no policy changes are necessary.
Consider Seasonal Auto Insurance Adjustments
If you are traveling for the holidays or taking a road trip to see family, ensure your auto insurance policy is up to date. If you are driving to other states or countries, it’s a great time to review with your agent. This includes verifying coverage for roadside assistance, rental vehicles and trip interruption if needed.
Plan for New Year’s Celebrations
New Year’s parties are a time for celebration, but accidents can happen. If you are hosting a gathering, ensure your liability coverage is adequate. For extra peace of mind, consider an event policy, especially if you are hosting in another location.
Give the Gift of Peace of Mind
Insurance is not just about protecting things—it’s about providing peace of mind. Gifting loved ones with knowledge about their coverage options or even helping them secure a new policy could be a meaningful way to support their well-being.
