Thinking about heading out of town soon? Each year, millions of Americans take trips for vacations, holidays, or work. Here are a few tips to help you reach your destination safely, make the most of your time away, and return home with a smile.

Safety Tips for Traveling Out of Town

Planning to head out of town soon? Millions of Americans travel each year for vacations, holidays or work. Here are some tips to help you arrive safely, enjoy your time away and return home happy.

Practice Basic Safety Habits
When you're away from your usual routes, remember to pay extra close attention to these basic safety tips:

Lock your car and hotel room doors.
Use safety restraints for children and seatbelts for adults while driving.
Avoid picking up hitchhikers.
Most importantly — avoid drinking and driving.
Plan Ahead
If you're traveling by car, check in with the U.S. Department of Transportation beforehand. You can check your route for possible highway delays due to construction or closings. You can also look for active weather alerts at NOAA's website or on other weather-related sites.

Pay Attention
It's important to stay aware and keep security and safety in mind. Here are a few tips:

Keep track of your suitcases at the airport.
Review the emergency evacuation route from your hotel room.
Discuss safety issues with your family or travelling companions, including what you'll do if separated.
Stay Connected
Everyone should have appropriate emergency phone numbers in case of an emergency. You can also set up In Case of Emergency (ICE) numbers in your cell phone contact list. For example, "ICE-Jane S." could be the phone number for a sibling who can act as an emergency contact person in case of an accident or other emergency. Responders will know to look for these contacts on your phone. Finally, you can prepare your emergency numbers, but it will all be for nothing if you don't pack your cell phone chargers.

Spring marks the end of cold weather and the start of warmer days. It's a great opportunity to tackle some home maintenance tasks that may have been neglected during the winter months. Here are a few tips to help ensure your home stays in good shape.

Spring Home Maintenance

The sun spilling through your windows and the new warm breeze that you feel as you open your doors may motivate you to prepare your home for the warmer days ahead. Spring is a signal of the cold weather leaving us and the beginning of warmer months. Now would be a good time to do some home maintenance that you may have been putting off during winter weather. Here are some maintenance items to keep in mind this spring to keep your home healthy.

Declutter
Tis the season for spring cleaning, but before you clean you may want declutter your home first. Decluttering means you’ll have less to clean! With every item that you come across, ask yourself three questions. Do I need this? Why do I have this? How often do I use this? Let these questions guide you as you’re choosing what to keep and what to donate or throw away. Start the process in the most lived in areas of your home because in these spaces you’ll experience the most benefits of your decluttering efforts. Decluttering can be a very time-consuming process so make sure you set aside enough time to not feel rushed or overwhelmed. It may even help to do just a little at a time.

Exterior
The harsh winter weather may have caused mold and staining on your siding, so start with an exterior inspection. Be on the lookout for cracks and openings in walls that could allow small insects to crawl into and cause damage. Don’t forget to check the foundation for any cracks or leaks that will allow water to enter your home. Foundation problems can cause cracked walls, uneven floors, sinking and more that worsen over time.

Roof
It is easier to spot signs of damage to your roof in the spring because everything is now thawed. Inspecting your roof and doing maintenance on it is essential for longevity of your roof and might save you from an early roof replacement down the road. You can either do some inspection yourself or get a professional to look at it for you. If you are looking at it yourself then make sure to look for missing or broken shingles and areas that are mossy which could be a sign of decay.

Gutters
Prepare your gutters for the heavy rains that may be ahead. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool and spill back onto your roof, foundation, and walls where it can cause damage – all the way to your basement or foundation. Clean your gutters to avoid a bigger problem in the future!

Air Conditioner
Spring is the best time to check on your AC before the hot months hit. It might be warm outside but not so hot that the AC is being pushed heavily yet. Do a test run and check that each room in your home has proper airflow that isn’t sluggish. You can also go to the outdoor and indoor cabinet of the AC and listen for any unusual noises that may indicate that there’s a bigger problem. Early spring would be a good time to replace your air filter because during winter your filter may have accumulated more dust and debris than usual.

Keeping up with your home and doing maintenance on it can save you money and save you from worry down the road. Schedule some time to ensure the health of your home this spring!

Shelter Ranks as a Forbes’ World’s Best Insurance Company for the 3rd Time!
Shelter Insurance® has been recognized on the Forbes list of the World’s Best Insurance Companies 2025. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

“Achieving international acknowledgment is remarkable and humbling, especially for a regional U.S. insurance company.” said Rockne Corbin, President and CEO of the Shelter Insurance Companies. “We sincerely appreciate the efforts and service provided by our agents, their teams and our employees, all of whom have contributed to this honor. We are also incredibly thankful to the customers who rated us so highly in the Forbes survey, enabling us to receive this recognition,” Corbin said.

The World's Best Insurance Companies 2025 ranking is based on an independent survey of over 45,000 consumers in 15 different countries.

The survey considered customers’ overall recommendation, their general satisfaction, their loyalty, and the five subdimensions: Advice, Customer Service, Price-Performance, Transparency and Damage/Benefit Service.
