• Lock doors and windows: Always lock your doors and windows when you leave home, even if it's just for a short while. This is the most basic step in home security.
• Test your security system: Make sure your security system is in optimal working condition to protect your home.
• Hire a reputable house sitter: If you plan to be away, having a trusted house sitter can provide an extra layer of protection for your home.
• Be vigilant: Report any suspicious activity to your security companies.
• Be cautious with social media: Avoid sharing your holiday plans on social media, especially if your accounts are public. It's better to post your vacation photos and updates after you return home.

When it comes to holiday travel, your vehicle's safety is paramount:

• Ensure your car is in good condition: Regular servicing and maintenance ensure your vehicle is reliable during your journeys.
• Maintain your tyres: Proper tyre pressure is essential for safe driving. Underinflated or overinflated tyres can affect handling and fuel efficiency. Ensure you have a spare tyre before hitting the road.
• Check your licences: Verify that your driver's licence and car licence is up to date to ensure a safe and legal journey.
• Lock your car: Always double-check that your car is securely locked, reducing the risk of theft. Keep valuables out of sight to decrease opportunistic theft.

Indwe policy holders, don't forget that you have access to ResQ1, a 24/7 home and roadside protection unit service operating nationwide. For a small monthly fee, ResQ1 can dispatch highly trained officers to professionally handle critical incidents whether you are at home, travelling to your holiday destination or whilst on holiday.
