Travel Insurance

There is always the what ifs  when you are booking travel.  We would like to imagine that all trips are risk free.   Unexpected occurrences include weather conditions, health, death, employment and during trip events.

Not all things go smoothly.  Cruise ships experience  loss of power, interrupted sailing schedules, and forces of hurricane season.  Airlines experience flight delays due to Winter storms, weather conditions,  and equipment management.  Family emergencies,  job limitations,  illness  may cut a vacation short or delay a trip.

Some form of travel insurance is always recommended.   No trip is guaranteed  to be trouble free, but travel insurance will help ease when the travel is impacted.


As we approach 2014, which Travel Insurance play a big role to protect you and your traveling members?

Most popular brands:

Allianz Global Assistance USA-  Offers creative and inexpensive Options.

Classic Plan- Basic Plan
They also have a plan to cover multigenerational family travel.

Travel Safe Insurance- offers flat rate pricing for members traveling that are 18 and younger

They also offer non-medical trip cancellation such as Hurricane Warning or Cancel for work.

Travel Guard North America
Travel Insured International

Some travelers also opt for medical evacuation protection as well. Medjet Assist a global air medical transportation membership program for travelers.  It is not insurance, however it is useful for people who have medical concerns. Medjet charges based on a per year enrollment.

Travel Insurance is generally included as an option for travel packages both online and with a travel professional. However not all travel insurance plans are equal.  Small print usually will state the limitations of the policy. In general, an assessment of which policy fits best will take into account the location of travel, time spent in a destination, general health capabilities as applicable, and personal needs.  While the general traveler may not understand all the intricate details for travel insurance it is important to consider what is the most important to them in the case of an emergency.

For covered reasons, generally the investment of a  prepaid trip covers refund of any unused portion of the trip, in many cases full refund, cancellations, lost or stolen baggage,  delays, interruptions, and medical emergencies.
