Did you know that 20% of all car accidents happen in parking lots?

According to the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers Association, one out of every five auto accidents occurs in a parking lot.

And that total does not even include all the small nicks, dents, scratches and dings that usually go unreported.

If you are going on vacation in your own car, or renting a car, here is some timely advice on how to stay safe.

Parking lot crashes often occur at low speeds, but they still can lead to expensive repairs, and higher insurance premiums, not to mention hassle.

Even worse, sometimes drivers and pedestrians can be injured in the car park if they are not vigilant.

It is bad enough having an accident on your own home turf. It can be even worse having one when you are on vacation, especially if you are travelling overseas.

Here are some hints and tips to minimize your parking lot risks and stay safer in the car park, whether you are a driver or pedestrian.
