The weath­er is beau­ti­ful out­side, the kids are out of school and the city is buzzing with events. That can only mean sum­mer has offi­cial­ly begun.Time to think of hav­ing fun on the road and… sum­mer trav­el safe­ty tips.

With the sum­mer sea­son under way, it is also the begin­ning of the sum­mer trav­el sea­son. When trav­el­ing this sum­mer, here a few things to keep in mind to make sure that your trip is safe, secure and filled with a lot of fun. Acti­vate your Alarm when trav­el­ling any­where this sum­mer, even if it’s only for a day or a cou­ple of hours, make sure to arm your alarm sys­tem and pro­tect your prop­er­ty.

“The sum­mer sea­son is one of the most vul­ner­a­ble peri­ods for your home so arm­ing your alarm sys­tem is it’s best defense against bur­glars who are look­ing for a quick heist. Nev­er take a chance when it comes to pro­tect­ing your home. Remem­ber, it takes just sec­onds to break in and com­plete a bur­glary.” Allan Baum

Dri­ve Safe When trav­el­ing any­where by car, make sure that you have the essen­tials packed and ready: spare tire, car essen­tials, emer­gency kit, etc. Also, remem­ber to dri­ve safe when you’re on the road. Be sure to fol­low the signs care­ful­ly and be aware of con­struc­tions that may be going on. Last­ly, nev­er drink and dri­ve. Always have a des­ig­nat­ed dri­ver ready.

Be Pre­pared When trav­el­ing this sum­mer, make sure that you’re pre­pared. Have all maps handy and the routes planned out so that you’re not lost along the way. Keep all med­ica­tions, trav­el doc­u­ments and mon­ey in a safe secure place, that’s acces­si­ble to you and impos­si­ble for oth­ers to find. Also, make sure that you have an emer­gency kit handy and ready. You nev­er know when an acci­dent will hap­pen. And car­ry plen­ty of water.

Remem­ber the Insur­ance When trav­el­ing any­where this sum­mer, whether it’s up to the cot­tage or a week­end in Flori­da, sur­pris­es can hap­pen at any time. Since unex­pect­ed sur­pris­es can crop up at any moment, make sure that you car­ry or pur­chase trav­el insur­ance before leav­ing for your vaca­tion. Hav­ing trav­el insur­ance on any vaca­tion gives you the peace of mind that your med­ical or trav­el emer­gen­cies will be tak­en care of. Also, remem­ber to inform your cred­it card com­pa­ny of your upcom­ing trav­els. If you plan to use your cred­it card will on vaca­tion, giv­ing them a heads up will let them know that it’s you who’s using the card and that it has­n’t been stolen. Hav­ing a fun and excit­ing sum­mer is on every­one’s mind this year but hav­ing a sum­mer full of fun and enter­tain­ment that is also safe makes it that more mem­o­rable.

Safe trav­els!
