SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, March 4, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As winter moves closer to spring, many people start planning for spring break. They make arrangements for week long vacations or even just a few days away. ASA Insurance wants everyone to stay safe out on the highways by providing a few basic tips to follow for any travel plans that they might have.

The most important thing when driving for a spring break vacation is to know details about the destination and the route. Just because the weather is warm and sunny at home doesn't mean it won't be winter along the way. With many online route calculators and GPS navigation systems, drivers can be prepared for hazardous weather conditions or road work. It is a good idea to check the travel conditions when making plans and include an alternate route. It is also important to check those conditions at least a couple of days before departure.

For anyone traveling to another country, they should check with their auto insurance in Salt Lake City and make sure they have coverage in that area. Not all policies cover drivers if they are outside the U.S. They may need to ask for a temporary policy or they may need to get coverage through the rental company they use or travel agency.

Drivers should make sure they carry their insurance cards with them on vacation. They should have the contact phone number to report a claim if they are in an accident. To help prevent accidents, they can check online to find out the driving laws in the state where they are going. Know the speed limits ahead of time and any special rules that they should be aware of.

Before leaving for a spring break vacation is a good time to review insurance coverage. Drivers can make sure they have enough liability and collision insurance to protect them. It is also a good time to decide if they want to add roadside assistance or rental car reimbursement to their policy. It helps eliminate a feeling of frustration and stress when a vehicle breaks down far from home. Roadside assistance offers everything from a tire change to towing. It even provides for fuel delivery if someone runs out of gas, which is a possibility when driving in unknown areas.

"Many people never re-evaluate their needs for insurance after they take out a policy, but needs change over time," says Creed Anderson of ASA Insurance. Drivers that have auto insurance in Salt Lake City should take out time to review their policies and make sure the coverage adequately meets their needs.

Spring break vacations should be fun and carefree. One way to ensure that everyone has a good time worry-free is to know that they have the auto insurance coverage they need even when they are traveling far from home. Planning ahead eliminates the uncertainty that comes from unexpected events. With the right policy in place, they can feel confident and secure no matter what happens.
