Travel Insurance - What You Need To Know

If you have a scheduled holiday and have no travel insurance, you are taking a lot of risks!

What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is a type of insurance that is intended to cover the costs of medical fees, trip cancellations, lost baggage, flight misfortunes and losses associated with traveling. It is a useful protection for those traveling internationally or locally.

Is Travel Insurance Expensive?
There are policies that offer lower medical fees and some that are higher such as the United States and countries that have high medical expenses.

Why Buy Travel Insurance?
It is extremely important that you take a travel insurance policy as soon as you book your holiday! The policy will be in force from that date to protect you, should you be unable to go on the trip due to an event covered under the wording.

Tips When Purchasing a Travel Insurance Plan
Meticulously read disclosure statements before purchasing Travel Insurance. When traveling, register travel plans through free online Travel Registration sites and get instant and personal notifications within the country or place you are traveling to. Take your travel insurance policy out as soon as you book and pay any deposit for your holiday. Seek advice from a qualified Insurance Broker.

Traveler's insurance coverage
Coverage is available for single, multiple and yearly travel. Per-trip coverage protects a single trip and is ideal for people who travel occasionally. Annual coverage provides protection for numerous trips occurring in one year. There are also Corporate travel policies for Businesses that have directors that travel often. Premiums are based on the type of coverage provided, age of the traveler, the destination, the length of the holiday and any claims the policy holder has had in the past.

Travel Insurance varies with the provider on cost, exclusions, and coverage. You would rather not think about all of the things that could go wrong on your trip, but these things do happen.
