Trip Travel Insurance For The Traveler
Author: David Swanson
A lot of money is being invested today in traveling.
Cruise lines, resort package deals, and air travel can
easily run into thousands of dollars. You may have
invested some of that money on your trip and can risk
losing it all. Some people either don't think of getting
travel insurance or they just don't want to. Some may
think they are in perfect health and they are physically
active, what could go wrong? If something does, they
will deal with it then.
Why should you buy travel insurance?
Why not? It's relatively inexpensive. The cost is
typically about five to ten percent of the total outlay
for the trip. There are literally hundreds of things
that can go wrong on a vacation, from a cancelled flight
to a serious illness. In some rare cases an act of
terrorism or the financial default of a travel supplier
can cost money you had originally planned to spend in
more enjoyable ways. An illness, accident or other
unforeseen circumstance can force a traveler to cancel
or interrupt their plans. In that instance they face two
major losses: nonrefundable deposits and medical
expenses not covered by insurance.
Suppose you find yourself in some mishap that leaves you
far from home with no money and unable to keep the
reservation you already made with no refunds available.
This is when it makes sense to purchase travel
insurance. Most trip travel insurance will cover trip
cancellation, trip interruption or delays, medical,
dental, emergency medical transportation, lost luggage,
accidental death, financial default of airlines, and
cruise lines.
Here are some common questions often asked by travelers
What happens if a traveler must cancel their vacation?
Often times a traveler could lose nonrefundable deposits
and prepayments that add up to hundreds if not thousands
of dollars. A good travel insurance plan should provide
trip cancellation coverage for the traveler's vacation
investment and the insurance company should reimburse
the traveler for all pre-paid, nonrefundable expenses.
How does trip cancellation and interruption coverage
work?
It reimburses for forfeited, nonrefundable, unused
payments or deposits if the traveler must cancel or
interrupt their trip due to a covered reason.
Does travel insurance cover acts of terrorism?
Some travel insurance policies do not cover terrorism.
They may only cover terrorist acts that occur in foreign
countries. Others can cover terrorist incidents both in
the United States and abroad.
What is the cost of travel insurance?
The cost of travel insurance is based on the value of
the trip. It normally will run between 5 and 10 percent,
based on the age of the traveler. Typically, the average
cost runs around five to seven percent of the trip cost.
What if the airline, cruise line or tour operations goes
default?
Almost all trip travel insurance policies include
financial default coverage if the program is purchased
within 15 days of making the initial trip deposit.
Always check for duplicate coverage
There are a few types of insurance related to travel
that you may not need because you are covered from other
sources. Your health insurance, life insurance or even
your car insurance polices may have limited coverage.
Thus, you could be buying duplicate coverage. It is
important to always compare with your existing insurance
policies to insure there are no duplications.
Be sure to check the "fine print" for hidden limitations
on these existing policies. After researching your
current polices, it may seem you are already covered on
the surface, but the fine print could limit certain
conditions, circumstances, situations or locations. The
fine print is written in "legalese" that is hard to
understand.
