What if Christmas for your family was ruined in a single moment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, the danger isn\u2019t coming from the Grinch or another evil force that doesn\u2019t have the holiday spirit. Instead, the danger comes from not having renter\u2019s insurance<\/a> when you need it the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most California residents think that coverage will only protect personal items inside their homes. However, renter\u2019s insurance can also protect your property when you\u2019re on the go. While that\u2019s helpful enough while you drive around towns like Sacramento and Los Angeles, it can be crucially important when you\u2019re traveling for the holidays and wish to safeguard your family\u2019s hand-picked gifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t believe it? Better buckle those presents up\u2026we\u2019re about to cover all the different ways that this coverage can protect your family\u2019s gifts while you travel! <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re transporting important gifts during the holidays, chances are that your primary form of travel protection is the humble suitcase. However, while a suitcase may be suitable for transporting your clothes or maybe some light paperwork, it\u2019s often not enough to protect more sensitive items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Such items could get damaged as you lug the case into and out of hotels, and the suitcase itself could easily suffer major damage if you’re flying and it ends up getting mishandled by the airline. Fortunately, renters insurance will pay to replace anything that is damaged, meaning your family\u2019s Christmas won\u2019t be ruined because someone carelessly tossed your suitcase to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of what makes traveling scary is that you may spend a lot of time in unfamiliar areas, both in and out of California. That lack of familiarity might cause you to park in some of the more dangerous areas of town, and this could cause opportunistic thieves to steal the gifts out of your car (especially if they are easily resalable items like computers, phones, or tablets). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sadly, rental insurance isn\u2019t going to magically transport your car to safety or render it completely inaccessible to thieves. But when you have this coverage in place, all it takes is a quick phone call to your carrier to replace those precious items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re worried about the gifts in your car when you\u2019re traveling, you\u2019re most likely to worry about the threat of theft<\/a> or even vandalism. However, there\u2019s another kind of human threat that you might not worry about until it\u2019s too late, and that\u2019s bad drivers on the road! <\/p>\n\n\n\n While you might think California drivers are bad enough throughout the year, the roads get even more dangerous over the holidays. A car crash may put more than your life in danger; it could also damage or outright destroy all of your family\u2019s gifts, especially if they are in the trunk and you are struck from behind. Car insurance won\u2019t actually cover any damage to those wrapped presents, but protecting your gifts is as simple as getting that renter’s insurance you keep putting off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\nProtection Beyond a Flimsy Suitcase<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
