[Automotive News] Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance announced on February 10 that it will offer complimentary vehicle inspections at over 450 Anika Land locations across South Korea in preparation for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. This initiative aims to enhance road safety by thoroughly checking vehicles before long-distance travel, potentially reducing the risk of traffic accidents during the festive period.
The free inspection service is available to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance auto policy holders. Technicians will examine more than 20 critical components, including tire pressure and brake wear. These checks are crucial for ensuring vehicle safety during extended journeys, allowing drivers to hit the road with confidence. Through this complimentary service, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance seeks to provide peace of mind to customers traveling to visit family and friends. The company is also promoting specialized auto insurance options tailored for holiday travel. For instance, they recommend the ‘Temporary Driver Endorsement’ for situations where someone else might drive the insured vehicle. This add-on extends coverage to any driver during the specified period. For those planning to drive a borrowed vehicle or rental car, Samsung offers the flexible ‘One-Day Anika Auto Insurance.’ This policy can be purchased for as little as 6 hours or up to 10 days, with coverage beginning immediately upon activation. Customers can also pre-purchase this insurance, ensuring they’re covered as soon as they need it. A spokesperson for Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance emphasized the importance of vehicle maintenance during the holiday season. “The Lunar New Year often involves longer trips and encounters with heavy traffic, which can put extra stress on vehicles,” they explained. “We strongly advise pre-trip inspections to ensure safety.” The representative also offered additional travel tips: “When driving on winter roads, maintain a safe following distance. For long journeys, take regular breaks and consider sharing driving duties to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday with your loved ones.” By offering these inspections well in advance of the holiday rush, Samsung aims to give customers ample time to address any potential issues. Even basic checks of the battery, tires, and brakes can significantly improve safety during extended drives. This service aligns with Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance’s commitment to safeguarding their customers’ daily lives and contributing to a safer future on the roads.
