Preparing For Trip Weather, Tech Issues, Medical, And More

A family road trip requires a lot of preparation to seem safely spontaneous. At M8 Insurance in Salt Lake City, UT, we want you to be able to enjoy your vehicles to the fullest but safely!                                                                                                     

The Basics for Humans And Pets

Think about food, water, and whether they could become unavailable in remote areas. Ensure your car is not your only protection against heat or extreme cold. Think of your pets. Make sure you can meet their emergency needs!

The Tech

In today’s technology-based vehicles, carrying spare keys, even expensive ones, can save you from lockouts and broken keys that suspend your trip for days. Basic satellite phones are affordable and rentable. Even less costly satellite devices allow you to text brief trip updates and exchange emergency messaging.

Weather Prep

Make sure you have the necessary equipment, food, clothing, and supplies for the weather you might encounter, especially extremes of hot and cold for multiple days. What’s your plan?

Driving Skills

Specific driving skills may still be needed to reach your destination relaxed and intact. Make sure you understand your vehicle’s capabilities and vulnerabilities. Get some practice. Whether you drive an SUV, sedan, 4×4, or pickup truck, each one’s characteristics are unique.

Coverage For Explorers

Rely on the right coverage, and you won’t have to worry about the paperwork of accidents. Our team and your insurer can handle it while you relax. Don’t put yourself in the situation of working with remote parties and government officials. Think also about road assistance coverage that provides help from a trusted service provider.
