Am I Covered at the Tailgate?

Football season means many things…but one of the first things that comes to mind in TAILGATING! Fans across the country will be filling stadium parking lots with grills, ready for hamburgers and ribs. Crowding around the truck and chowing down on hot wings is an American tradition that marks the beginning of Fall almost as much as the first red leaf.

 If you’re heading out to the big game for a tailgating party, the amount of car insurance you have is probably the last thing on your mind. But you should know that even with the car in park, things can still happen to your car.

 Let’s say you’re parked, heating up the grill, and another football fan’s rolling grill rams into the side of your truck. Take away the fact that he’s rooting for the other team, now you’ve got a huge dent on the side of your truck. If you have a basic car insurance policy it usually includes collision coverage, which covers you from collisions with other cars, objects and in some cases even potholes.

 Having a beer at the game is common for many football fans. Unfortunately, some people don’t realize when they’ve had too much and attempt to drive home while they are drunk. If a drunk driver hits your car in the parking lot, your collision auto insurance will cover the damage.

 If you’re planning a tailgate party this football season, check with the Protection Connection (www.ProtectionConnectionInsurance.com) and make sure you have enough collision coverage–we all know how rowdy football fans can get.
