Holiday time:
time to plan
ahead with
MAS
It’s that time of year when many Kiwi
families pack up the car and head off
on holiday. To make sure you can relax
properly, it pays to plan ahead to lessen
the chance of burglaries or damage to
your property, and injuries or accidents
for your family.
Here are four top tips from MAS to make
sure you’ve got everything covered for
the holiday period:
1. Make sure you turn off your lights and
water supply before you hit the road.
Doublecheck you’ve locked all your
windows and doors and set the alarm,
if you have one. It’s also a good idea
to hide valuables out of sight of any
windows.
2. Think about how you can create the
impression there’s someone still at
home. Ask a neighbour to clear your
letterbox regularly and put out your
rubbish bins. If you have timers on
your lights, set these to go on and off
at different times of the day.
3. When you’re on the road, check
your tyres are properly inflated and
if you’re towing a boat or caravan,
make sure your car is rated for the
weight you’re towing. If you have a
MAS contents policy, your contents
are covered anywhere in New
Zealand. But, even so, it’s a good
idea to make sure anything in a
roofbox or on a bike rack is properly
secure. If in doubt, bring it inside
with you if you can.

4. If you have a holiday house, turn the
power and water off when you leave.
And if you’ve had tradespeople in
since your last stay, it’s a good idea to
change the lockbox number.
