How do you check a car seat for air travel?
My family and I are planning a vacation to Disney, and considering I have five children, it’s no small task. We’re planning to fly and rent a car while in Orlando to make things easier, but how do I check my kid’s car seat at the airport?

That sounds like a great vacation, and I’m sure your kids will talk about it for years!
The good news is that there is no charge to check a car seat for air travel and you can check the car seat at the baggage counter or your gate.
In general, checking a car seat for air travel is as simple as checking a standard bag. However, you should protect the car seat using the thick large plastic bags provided by the airline, a duffel bag, or a specifically designed cover for car seats to prevent damage.
Additionally, before picking up your rental car, you should know that more often than not, your personal
car insurance
policy will extend to the rental as long as you have the required coverage and limits. So, you may want to think twice before purchasing rental car insurance
.Finally, if you want to ensure you have all the coverage you need at the best available rate, you should use the
Jerry
app. After providing you with a comprehensive cross-analysis of the best policies across over 50 providers, Jerry will handle the phone calls, paperwork, and renewals for your top pick so that you don’t have to. If you ever have any questions, agents are just a text away, and they even help cancel your old policy.View full answer
