Travel Insurance - a must for any vacation

Peace of Mind.

You’ve spent months planning the perfect family vacation . You tell yourself- “we’re going no matter what!” That “what” suddenly becomes a hurricane in another part of the country, or  little Johnny running a high fever of 105 and with just days before your departure, you also get sick.

 Sound familiar? It’s funny because I am guilty of just that type of mentality- the days of “oh nothing’s going to happen before we go” are totally over.

 Enter, reality.
 
Hurricanes hit. Flooding occurs. Resorts get damaged.  This past week has been the perfect example.  Hurricane Sandy interrupted or delayed travel for thousands of people.

Your lovely boss needs you to stay to help with a company merger. Or worse, you get terminated.
  
 You or one of the kids gets sick or injured on vacation outside of the country and needs medical treatment. 

All these and more are reasons to buy Travel Insurance. Gone are those days of the negative thoughts about travel insurance. For the small cost of my trip investment, the three main reasons why I buy are: peace of mind, protection against the unexpected and concern over losing my financial investment in a trip. I’m telling you for fractions of what you invest in a trip from planning to actual cost, just having peace of mind is all I need.

Check out some of the things that travel insurance will cover:

•       Your baggage is lost or damaged.
•       You're involved in an accident and adequate medical treatment is not available. You need medical evacuation.
•       You need to cancel your trip due to illness.
•       Your cruise line, airline or tour operator goes bankrupt. You need your non-refundable expenses covered and to get to your destination.
•       You have a medical emergency in a foreign country.
•       A terrorist incident occurs in the city where you’re planning to visit and you want to cancel your trip.
•        A hurricane forces you to evacuate your resort, hotel or cruise.
•       You are called for jury duty.
  

 Another benefit of travel insurance is that many of the companies provide 24 hour assistance during travel, someone you can turn to when you need assistance during your trip.
