So you’re booking your next vacation? No matter who you book through, you will most likely be asked if you want to purchase travel insurance. I know what you’re thinking “I don’t need travel insurance because I don’t plan on cancelling my trip.” That’s what most people say, but travel insurance is extremely important.
For just a fraction of the price of your trip, travel insurance protects you from the unexpected. No one books a trip with the intention of cancelling. From broken bones, to illness, to family emergencies, travel insurance can help when last minute emergencies happen. Depending on the travel insurance you purchase, you could receive a full reimbursement if you are unable to travel.
Travel insurance can help when you have unexpected trip interruptions. Most people don’t plan for things like flight delays/cancellations, missed flights and connections, or missing luggage. If you purchased travel insurance you may be covered. Travel insurance can provide assistance in rebooking flights, booking hotels, and helping with lost luggage. In todays world with uncertainty with flights travel insurance is more beneficial than ever.
Travel insurance can provide assistance when your trip is affected by a natural disaster. While we can watch and track hurricanes as they approach, they are unpredictable. Travel insurance can assist if your flights are cancelled due to a natural disaster. You could also be eligible for reimbursement for unexpected costs if you need to evacuate.
