The Value of Travel Insurance
Published Tuesday, April 20th 2010Many people believe that travel insurance is a scam and an unnecessary added expense to their vacation. However, when something unforeseen goes wrong and you are stranded - much like those stuck in Europe today because of the volcanic ash. Or an unforeseen medical emergency arises - heart attack, stroke, broken leg/arm, and more. It can save you thousands, a lot of headaches and more! Insurance is a small investment that can provide you and your family peace of mind that can ultimately protect you and your investment.
Yes. Every penny counts when one budgets for their vacation. This is one area that you do not want to skimp on. Yes. You and your family may be perfectly healthy, but no one is superman. Unforeseen things happen, and generally at least convenient time.
There are a variety of plans available at varying rates. The rates can be a flat rate based on a specific portion of your vacation - IE: flight, or cruise. It can include the total vacation package - IE: flight, connections, hotel, and cruise. Other plans have rates that include the total vacation package price combined with the ages of the travellers who are traveling together.
The plans can be a standard Travel Protection Policy. Insurance that protects you and your investment in the event that you need to cancel because of illness or death in the family. Illness or injury during time of travel. Cancelled or delayed flights, and more.
Some companies offer a Business Pack. It includes the above, but offers an option that if for some reason your employer says you need to work that week or you are fired, or you are in business for yourself and you need to stay behind or cancel because of something unforeseen, you may be covered.
There are also policies that protect you for "most any reason". This does come with many restrictions and limitations. This is a great policy for those vacation purchases that have a non-refundable deposit or payment associated with them.
Cruise Planners offers travel protection insurance that can be the same or less than other policies and offer a wide range of coverage at higher limits.
