Essential Tips To Prepare your High School or College Student for the School Year

Double Check Your Insurance Coverage

If you have a new driver, you’ll want to make sure they are covered by your current insurance. And, you’ll want to verify coverage for college students that may be heading to another state. Your student will likely qualify to stay on your insurance if:
  • Your student’s primary residence is still your home.
  • If the car title is held jointly between the student and parent, or just by the parent. 
  • The student remains living with one or both parents while attending college.

Ensure Vehicle Maintenance is Up-To-Date

As you are planning your school year and buying school supplies, now is a good time to ensure your vehicle’s maintenance is up-to-date. AAA recommends the following steps:
  • Check and maintain the tires, including the spare, at least once per month. Tires are the first step in vehicle safety, and keeping them in shape is critical.
  • Review the owner’s manual and familiarize yourself with the recommended maintenance schedule. It’s a good idea to look at the upcoming due dates for regular maintenance items like  oil and filter changes or  fuel system maintenance  and add them to the student’s smartphone calendar so they can book appointments in advance.
  • Locate a reliable repair shop close to school. Look for AAA Owned and Operated and AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities nationwide.

Talk Openly About Safety

We often take for granted that our children know to wear their seatbelts, avoid texting, and not drink and drive, but have you spoken to your student about driving in bad weather? Have you had conversations about avoiding distractions like eating while driving?
Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition offers 72 Safe Driving Tips that could save your teenagers life. It’s worth a read and an ongoing conversation with your young driver.

Prepare for Any Situation with AAA

If you haven’t already, add your student to your AAA Membership as an Associate Member. Unlike roadside assistance packages that may come with your vehicle, AAA Emergency Roadside Assistance follows the Member, regardless of who they are driving or riding with. And services like towing and jump starts are included with the Membership—you don’t have to pay and receive reimbursement later. Students should add their emergency roadside provider information, preferred auto repair facility, and auto insurance provider to their phone contacts so they are easy to find in a hurry.
