Our second guest is Jason Hargraves an analyst and managing editor of InsuranceQuotes.com in Austin, Texas. According to the company's new data in its Holiday Hazards study, many Americans report increased risks during the holiday season, including more potential hazards while driving. We discuss with Hargraves precautionary tips for drivers during the holiday season as well as insurance rules reminders for those who have experienced car thefts of holiday packages and other problems. Hargraves also details travel tips for drivers traveling during the holidays in inclement weather. “The holiday season is a time of year filled with joy as we gather with loved ones—but unfortunately, it's also a time filled with risk," said Hargraves. “Taking preventative steps in advance, like using the Amazon Key, is a simple way to keep burglars at bay while avoiding the headache of losing holiday gifts.” The study was conducted in November for insuranceQuotes.com among a sample of 1,001 respondents.
