Travel Insurance: Prevention Is Better Than Bills

Travel Insurance: Prevention Is Better Than Bills

It
is really fun going on a holiday trip. You will be so busy strolling
around, doing what you do not usually do, like skiing, windsurfing and
other activities worth spending your holiday with. Outdoor trip is
really fun and entertaining. You are enjoying snow boarding but
suddenly you broke your leg. We dont know when accidents may happen. It
is just practical to get a travel insurance plan.

Travel
insurance plan is a way to minimize the considerable financial risks of
traveling. These risks include accidents, illness, and missed flights,
canceled tours, lost baggage, emergency evacuation and getting your
body home if you die.

Each travelers risk and potential loss
varies, depending on how much of the trip is prepaid, the kind of air
ticket purchased, your state of health, the value of your luggage,
where youre traveling, what medical coverage you already have and the
financial health of the tour company or airline. For some, insurance is
a good deal; for others, its not.

What are the different types of Travel Insurance?

1.
Interruption insurance and trip cancellations. It covers financial
penalties or losses you encounter when you cancel a prepaid tour of
flight for an acceptable reason. These might include you and your
family members who cant travel because of sickness.

It might also
include you business partner or airline that goes out of business or
cant perform as promised. It is also possible to cancel if you have a
family member who is sick. For a good reason such as a car accident or
inclement weather, you miss a flight or need an emergency flight. In
other words, if you or your travel partner breaks a leg a few days
before your trip, you can both bail out and neither of you will lose a
penny.

And if, a day into your tour, you have an accident, both
of you will be flown home and youll be reimbursed for the emergency
one-way return flight which usually costs far more than your economy
round-trip fare and whatever portion of the tour you have not used.

2.
Medical insurance cover medical and dental emergencies. Check your
health plan before getting a medical insurance because you may be
already covered by it. Search for benefits and deductibles and the
procedures for reimbursement of the emergency expenses.

3.
Baggage insurance is included in the most comprehensive policies, but
is rare to buy separately. This actually the insurance for your items
such as jewelry, eyewear, electronics and photographic equipments. If
the airline checked your baggage, it is already covered by the
airlines. Homeowners insurance is cheaper and youll have coverage even
after your trip.

4. Flight insurance is crash coverage, is a
statistical rip-off that heirs love. It's basically a life insurance
policy that covers you when you're on the airplane. Since plane crashes
are so rare, there's little sense in spending money on this insurance.

5.
Comprehensive travel insurance it covers all, airfare, car rentals,
tour etc. it depends on you age. This can be a better deal for
travelers with less of the trip prepaid because coverage is the same
regardless of the premium you pay. Some comprehensive policies also
cover collision damage, which allows you to avoid paying your
car-rental company for collision damage waiver CDW insurance.

Never
buy travel insurance from companies with no names. Not all insurance
companies are licensed. You do not have a case if you claim problems
with a licensed company with no license. Most of the licensed insurance
companies are open 24 hours.

Getting travel insurance is as good
as securing your familys health. It is making sure that everyone is
properly protected, including the loss of your passport, money or
luggage, travel delays, missed departures and incurring legal expenses.
It is like you are sure you are having a safe trip.
