Why Buy Travel Insurance?
Because anything can happen. Even those who play it safe can face medical emergencies, political unrest or worse. When the unforeseeable becomes reality, you want the coverage that travel insurance can provide. Much more than trip cancellation, travel insurance is financial protection with emergency assistance to keep you safe as you travel the world.
Many of your travel arrangements may be non-refundable or subject to strict cancellation penalties. Often times, the lowest cost airfares, cruise and land packages generally include significant penalties if you are unable to actually take your trip. Travel insurance can help you avoid penalties and protect your investment.
How Does Travel Insurance Work?
Travel insurance is a collection of benefits and services designed to protect you in three key ways:
Coverage for Your Travel Arrangements. Among the most frustrating experiences a traveler can have are trip cancellation, trip interruption, and travel delay. Should unforeseeable reasons force you to cancel, interrupt, or delay your trip, travel insurance aims to reimburse you for the cost of your travel arrangements.
Coverage for You. Probably the most important coverage travel insurance can provide is coverage for you. Protection against the costs a traveler can incur from unexpected medical expenses, medical evacuation, and non-medical emergency evacuation can be high. Travel insurance can protect travelers from those costs, so they can focus on their health and safety. Not how it will affect their bank accounts.
Coverage for Your Belongings. When we travel, we take baggage and other personal items on our trip. Travel insurance can reimburse travelers for the money spent to replace these items when baggage and personal effects are delayed, lost, or stolen.
When to Buy
Time Sensitive Provisions. In order to get the most out of your travel insurance policy, it is recommended that you purchase your policy when booking your trip. Why? Because of time sensitive provisions.
Most travel insurance policies contain time sensitive provisions which broaden coverage when you purchase the insurance in a timely manner. TravelSafe is generally within 21 days of your initial trip deposit, but that may vary by state.
Purchasing within the time sensitive period expands coverage, such as the Pre-Existing Conditions Waiver. It also allows your policy to provide coverage for bankruptcy or insolvency of a travel supplier and allows you to qualify for the optional “Cancel For Any Reason” Benefit.
Important tip! Waiting to buy coverage until final payment is a mistake. Purchase your travel protection within 21 days of your trip deposit. This way, you’ll receive broader coverage at the same price you would pay at final payment. Don’t wait until you have the final trip cost to purchase your coverage. You can always update your trip cost at a later date.
