Heading South? Insuring Your Mid-Winter Break Road Trip in February
Heading South? Insuring Your Mid-Winter Break Road Trip in February
With Mardi Gras falling on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, many families take advantage of the mid-week holiday and Presidents’ Day to head south in search of warmer weather. A long-distance road trip in February is a test of endurance for your vehicle, and your Auto Insurance should be your ultimate backup plan.
- Roadside Assistance: Beyond the Battery
A breakdown in the middle of a multi-state trip is a nightmare. Verify that you have Emergency Roadside Assistance on your policy. In 2026, many policies include “Trip Interruption” coverage, which pays for a hotel and meals if your car breaks down more than 100 miles from home.
- The Rental Car Trap
If your car is in an accident during your trip, do you have Rental Reimbursement? Without it, you’ll be paying $60+ a day for a rental car out of your own pocket while your car is in a shop 500 miles away. This coverage costs pennies a day and is a lifesaver during a February vacation.
