During trip planning, no one wants to think about things going wrong, but even the most meticulously prepared trips can have problems. There are flight cancellations; luggage goes astray; and accidents happen.
You may want to consider purchasing a travel insurance policy, to make sure your vacation isn't completely derailed in case something does come up. You can enjoy your travels worry-free with this quick and inexpensive way to protect your family and your finances.
What is Travel Insurance?
While you are away from home on a trip, whether for business or recreation, this insurance covers medical expenses and financial losses that could arise. Insurance is available for a trip of any length and can be specified according to what you need. Usually, this type of insurance is purchased as a travel medical plan or a package plan.
A good plan will provide, at a minimum, several benefits:
Should you have to cancel your trip for a covered reason prior to departure, Trip Cancellation will reimburse your non-refundable travel arrangements. Depending on the policy, the reason can be important. Choosing the appropriate the policy is essential.
If you have to interrupt or return home early from your trip for a covered reason, Trip Interruption will reimburse your unused travel arrangements.
Medical expenses and emergency transportation for a serious illness or injury that occurs while you are traveling will be covered by Medical Expense/Emergency Assistance.
Travel Delay Benefits to cover your out-of-pocket expenses for meals and accommodations when you are unexpectedly delayed due to flight delays or cancellations or for other similar covered reasons. You must usually have a delay upwards of 6 or 8 hours, or some other specific length of time.
When a flight connection is missed due to reasons such as bad weather or mechanical issues, Missed Connection covers additional expenses that you must pay to make alternate travel arrangements.
Baggage and Baggage Delay to cover loss or damage to your baggage or personal items or the cost of buying toiletries or personal articles if your baggage is delayed for a specified amount of time, such as 8 or 12 hours or more.
It is important to purchase travel insurance when you book your vacation, for a variety of reasons. Most policies contain time sensitive provisions that will limit coverage if you wait. If you have Pre-Existing medical conditions that have been treated or even that have been recommended to be treated 60 - 180 days prior to the purchase of the policy, this may limit your coverage.
And be sure to check the small print. How many times have you heard this and never paid any attention? Well, as far as getting that essential travel insurance is concerned it is highly important to read everything before you pay for the policy. If you have an accident on vacation, you could suddenly find yourself hugely out-of-pocket with no hope of recovering the expenses incurred, that is if you don't know what you are covered for.
