Reduce the Cost of Your Road Trip with These 3 Tips — And Make Sure You’re Insured

At The Insurance Outfit, we know first-hand how important saving money is to drivers in Chester, NJ. Our independent insurance agents help people find ways to save on their auto insurance every day. In order to further serve the drivers of Chester and nearby New Jersey cities, we’ve compiled a few ways to reduce the costs of road trips.

Reducing the Cost of Road Trips

If you’re planning a road trip, there are a few things you can do to reduce how much the adventure will cost you. The most significant thing you can do is drive a small, fuel-efficient car. If you only have a large, gas-guzzling SUV, consider borrowing someone’s car or even renting one (although this would increase the cost of your trip). You can further reduce your expenses by driving the speed limit, using cruise control which will improve your gas mileage, and staying with friends, rather than in hotels.

Keeping Your Auto Insurance Policy

If you borrow a friend’s vehicle to save on gas, make sure you’ll still be insured while on the road. Your friend should have auto insurance that will provide you with coverage, but you should still have your own auto insurance policy that will provide coverage while driving your friend’s car.

If you have questions about whether either your friend’s or your auto insurance policy will cover you while driving your friend’s car, feel free to contact our independent insurance agents. They can review your policy, and they can help you find a different policy if yours doesn’t provide the protection you need.
