With the possibility of cancellations, flight delays, lost luggage or passports, medical emergencies and any other unexpected incident such as: accidents, illness, missed flights, canceled tours, lost baggage, theft, terrorism, travel-company bankruptcies, and emergency evacuation. Travel insurance can minimize the considerable financial risks of traveling and provide the reassurance and the peace of mind that you need.
For some travelers, insurance is a good deal; for others, it’s not. What are the chances you’ll need it? How willing are you to take risks? How much is peace of mind worth to you? Take these considerations into account, understand your options, and make an informed decision for your trip. There really is no better way to protect your vacation investment than by purchasing travel insurance.
Each traveler’s potential loss varies, depending on how much of your trip is prepaid, the refund-ability of the air ticket you purchased, your state of health, the value of your luggage, where you’re traveling, the financial health of your tour company and airline, and what coverage you already have (through your medical insurance, homeowners or renters insurance, and/or credit card).
