Why take a Peach State road trip (or more than one) this winter? Because there are so many great colder-season destinations throughout the state of Georgia, that\u2019s why. Once you\u2019ve made sure you have the <\/span>auto insurance<\/span><\/a> you need, you\u2019ve got places to go.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can even direct you to mountains in Georgia with snow. Yes, snow. That fluffy white stuff your Yankee cousins tell you about. (Our state averages less than an inch of snowfall annually, in case you were wondering.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But we\u2019re getting ahead of ourselves. Here are five Georgia road trips \u2014 including ones to snow places \u2014 we think you\u2019ll love to consider taking this winter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holly Jolly Jekyll Island<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re not sold on the name. But Jekyll Island, the festive all-season barrier island in the Atlantic, knows how to celebrate the season. For starters, island hosts welcome winter visitors by stringing up more than one million lights. From there, it\u2019s all light parades, fireworks, live music, and beverages of all kinds for this late November through early January holiday scene. Go online for a schedule of seasonal events.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hostess City of the South Is in Savannah<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a no-brainer to celebrate the holidays in Savannah this winter. It is, after all, a city made for celebrations of all kinds. The all-out winter festivities in the Hostess City of the South include the Old Town Trolley\u2019s Holiday Sights & Festive Nights trolley run, waterfront shopping, live music, and food vendors. The fun lasts all season long.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

License to Chill Snow Island<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cute name, huh? You don\u2019t have to take the kids to the North Pole or even visit their cousins in the blustery Midwest to experience an authentic postcard winter. Just go as far as Margaritaville in Lanier Island, outside of Buford, Georgia, in the northern part of the state. You\u2019ll find the North Pole to be imported here for your family\u2019s pleasure. Festivities take the form of Blizzard Mountain Snow Tubing, Frosty\u2019s Ice Rink for skating, a winter carnival with a carousel, bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, and other amusement park rides, and much more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brasstown Bald<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even in a state famous for its mild winter climate, you can experience traditional winter elements if you climb to a high enough altitude. Hike or drive up to Georgia\u2019s highest peak, Brasstown Bald Mountain, in the Blue Ridge Mountain chain, and you\u2019re likely to find snow during winter months. Brasstown Bald gets some 30 to 40 inches of the fluff annually. That\u2019s a lot for Georgia. If on foot, the trek up to the Visitors Center at the summit takes about an hour. If your kids have never seen snow, bundle \u2019em up, bring their boots, and make Brasstown Bald your next winter road trip.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brasstown Bald is only one of many north Georgia destinations where you might find snow. You can also introduce the kids to the white powder by heading to Sky Valley, Rabun Gap, Clayton, and other locales not far from <\/span>Atlanta<\/span><\/a>. According to the experts, Mountain City in Rabun County is the snowiest destination in the state. However, snow is not guaranteed. Catch the weather reports before heading out with a carload of eager kids.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Simon Island<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Eager to leave all of this snow, ice, and winter nonsense behind? An old-fashioned winter ain\u2019t for everyone, after all. St. Simon Island, in the Golden Isles, doesn\u2019t even pretend to offer an old-fashioned, postcard Christmas. That\u2019s not the point here <\/span>on the coast<\/span><\/a>, where winter temperatures average in the sixties.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You might not spend a lot of time frolicking in the Atlantic waters during the winter months on the island (or maybe you will). But you\u2019re likely to be wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts as you stroll the beach, ride bikes, and take part in other decidedly summerish activities. As we said, a traditional winter\u2019s not for everyone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Road-Tripping Out, Review Your Auto Insurance<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take out your policy and give it a quick read before heading out on that first winter road trip in Georgia. Does it contain roadside assistance benefits? Are you still comfortable with the deductible level? Do you have both <\/span>comprehensive<\/span><\/a> and collision protection? Do you even fully understand these and other insurance terms and buzzwords you\u2019ll find in your contract and realize their importance to your road trip and bottom line?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any questions, concerns, or confusion about your auto insurance and what it does and doesn\u2019t cover, contact your insurance agent and ask questions until you\u2019re satisfied. If you\u2019d like to consider an upgrade or you think you\u2019re paying too much for your coverage, check in with an independent insurance agent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Independent agents don\u2019t work for just one insurance carrier. Instead, they\u2019ve contracted to represent the offerings of multiple leading brands of coverage. What that means is that they can go shopping on your behalf for the best coverage at the most affordable rates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
