December holidays bring time with family, long drives, and well-deserved rest. Before you pack your bags, it helps to make sure your insurance is aligned with your travel plans.
Here’s a simple checklist to help you travel with confidence.
Your Car Insurance Checklist
A few minutes of review goes a long way. Check that you have:
✔ Roadside assistance
✔ Towing for both accident and mechanical breakdown
✔ Car hire and type if your vehicle needs repairs
✔ Windscreen, tyre, and rim benefits
✔ The correct regular driver listed
✔ An excess you’re comfortable with
These are small details that make a big difference when you’re far from home.
Your Valuables & Luggage Checklist
Holiday travel usually includes extra devices, gifts, and personal items.
Confirm that:
✔ Your portable possessions are correctly listed
✔ New gifts and electronics are added
✔ Your phone, watch, laptop, or jewellery are specified
✔ You have photos or receipts saved
✔ You know what’s covered away from home
It’s a simple way to avoid admin later.
Your Home While You’re Away
Leaving home for a few days?
✔ Test your alarm
✔ Confirm armed response is active
✔ Secure doors, windows, and gates
