July is peak road trip season and there’s no better time to explore the rolling hills, hidden waterfalls, and scenic drives that the U.S. has to offer. Whether you’re heading to the Smoky Mountains or hitting the beach, preparation is key to making your adventure smooth and stress-free.
At Triton Insurance Group, we’re all about helping you enjoy the ride—with peace of mind along the way. Here’s how to get road-trip ready this summer:
1. Check Your Ride Before You Roll
A quick pre-trip vehicle check can help you avoid unexpected delays—and dangerous breakdowns.
- Check tire pressure and tread (don’t forget the spare!)
- Top off fluids: oil, brake, coolant, windshield wiper
- Test your battery and replace if older than 3 years
- Make sure your A/C is blowing cold (hello, summer heat!)
- Inspect lights, blinkers, and windshield wipers
2. Pack an Emergency Kit
Keep essentials in your trunk in case of unexpected detours:
- Jumper cables
- First aid kit
- Flashlight + batteries
- Phone charger
- Water and snacks
- Blanket and rain poncho
3. Plan Your Route (and Backups)
Use apps like Waze or Google Maps to plan ahead—but don’t rely 100% on tech. Cell service can be spotty in rural areas, so bring a printed map or download offline directions just in case.
4. Review Your Auto Insurance Coverage
Nothing ruins a road trip like an accident or roadside emergency—unless you’re already covered. This is the perfect time to:
- Double-check your liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage
- Make sure your roadside assistance is up to date
- Confirm you have rental car reimbursement in case of delays
Not sure if you’re covered? A local Triton agent can help with a quick, no-obligation policy review before you head out.
5. Stay Alert and Drive Smart
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the open road, but staying safe means staying focused:
- Switch drivers every few hours
- Avoid drowsy or distracted driving
- Keep an eye on weather conditions
- Follow local speed limits—even on scenic routes
