Why Should I Buy Travel Insurance?
We understand that your trip can take a year to save for, but only a second to ruin. While you can’t do anything to prevent an unexpected storm from closing the airport, you can do something to help cover your travel investment–you can buy travel insurance.
To illustrate what could go wrong and the importance of purchasing travel insurance, we have selected some common examples.
It’s 10 p.m. and you and your traveling companion arrive at the airport for a connecting flight, only to find that your flight has been cancelled. Who can assist you with finding new flights to catch up with your trip?
Your bag was lost with your insulin inside. You need help to locate your bag as soon as possible and have your emergency prescription filled. Who do you call?
You arrive at your destination without your wallet. Where do you turn for emergency cash, and who will help you get your travel documents replaced?
If a sibling becomes seriously ill and you must cancel your trip, what happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments?
You arrive on time, but your luggage doesn’t. If it’s lost, who will help you find it? If it’s delayed, who will pay for your necessities? If it’s stolen, who will pay to replace it?
You slip and fall and twist your knee. Who can help you find an orthopedic doctor that specializes in knee injuries?
Three weeks before your scheduled arrival, a terrorist incident occurs in a city you are scheduled to visit. Who will pay if you want to cancel your trip?
Purchasing travel insurance can help take care of the above-mentioned problems, and many more. So equip yourself with it before you go–you won’t regret it!
