It’s back-to-school season, and AAA is urging parents to review insurance coverage before college move-in. The transition can create gaps, and issues like car accidents away from home may catch families off guard, especially when students live several hours away.
Families should ask:
• Is my student’s car covered while at school?
• What happens if my child is in an accident while in a friend’s car?
• Does homeowners’ insurance cover dorm-room belongings?
Parents should review policies before students leave for campus, focusing on auto insurance, renters’ insurance, and available roadside assistance options. Reviewing coverage now can help families avoid surprises later.
