There are lots of ways to save money when taking a road trip. We at Oliver Insurance have collected just a few ideas and listed them below. When cutting your costs, though, you shouldn’t reduce your auto insurance coverage. Doing so could leave you dangerously unprotected.
Save on Food, Lodging and Activities
There are plenty of safe ways to save money during a road trip. For instance, you might:
-
pack a cooler with food and drinks, so you don’t have to buy meals and beverages
-
find friends you can stay with, so you don’t have to pay for hotel rooms
-
look up free activities to do, so you don’t spend a lot on doing things and seeing sights
None of these three tips exposes you to danger, nor do they detract from how fun a road trip is. In fact, some, like staying with friends, can make a road trip more fun — especially if you stay with friends you haven’t seen in awhile.
Don’t Skimp on Insurance Coverage
One place where you shouldn’t cut corners is auto insurance. It’s fine to shop around with an independent insurance agent for the lowest possible premiums. We even recommend doing this. You shouldn’t, however, reduce your insurance coverages. Lowering your coverage levels could leave you dangerously exposed if you were in an accident.
If you need help shopping for insurance, contact our independent insurance agents. Our auto insurance agents have helped many drivers in Canby, OR find low rates without sacrificing coverages. When you contact them, they’ll go over what coverages you want, and then they’ll compare policies that have those coverages for you. To speak with one of our agents, send them a message through our agency’s website.
