Imagine you’ve invested a lot of money in a nice, relaxing vacation out of the country. You take time off of work, arrange for a pet sitter at home. You've saved, planned and gotten excited for your amazing trip. But, in the midst of your dream trip, something goes wrong. You lose your luggage, someone in your party gets unexpectedly sick, or you're walking around a busy city and get your wallet stolen.
What do you do in these situations?
If you have travel insurance the severity of these problems can be significantly lightened. Travel insurance compensates you for time lost during a trip, as well as compensate for harm to your wellbeing and damage to or loss of your personal belongings.
Travel insurance covers quite a lot, here are just some things travel insurance can cover:
Trip cancellation
Trip delay
Baggage loss and delay
Theft
Trip interruptions
Medical expenses
Emergency evacuation
How can you find a comprehensive travel insurance policy?
Your Travel Advisor can provide you with some travel insurance options. Just ask! If you want to purchase your own policy, you can buy directly from travel insurance company websites, travel insurance comparison sites, and from travel insurance agents. You just need to have the ages of everyone in your group, the destination you are traveling to, your travel dates, and the cost of the trip.
Pro Tip: If you have any pre-existing conditions, it is imperative that you buy your insurance within 14 days of making your deposit on your trip. If you have not made all of your arrangements yet, be aware that you can always ADD coverage as you add travel components.
Purchasing travel insurance for your vacation provides extra security should anything go wrong on your trip. It’s not worth losing money on top of any difficulties that may arise while traveling, and it’s always good to be prepared. Travel insurance can make a world of difference on your trip.
