A carefree holiday is a wonderful idea, but in reality it takes a lot of preparation beforehand to ensure you can enjoy yourself and rest easy in the knowledge that your home and transport are as safe as they can possibly be.
With a packing list as long as your arm, you might find yourself leaving the overall safety of your car and home to the last minute because you simply ran out of time. However, you don’t want to spend your holiday worrying about whether your home is vulnerable, or if your car is going to conk out en route. Prepare in advance with our ultimate vacation checklist for your home and car.
