Tips for Travel and Travel Insurance:
-
Unexpected medical emergency bills can run into thousands
of dollars therefore purchase maximum affordable coverage.
-
Don't forget to pack your travel insurance policy along
with the medical emergency assistance number.
-
If you travel frequently, buy a multi trip annual plan.
It is economical, and besides you don't want to find out
the hard way by forgetting to purchase insurance at the
time of need.
-
With rising costs of airfare and hotel, most travelers
are booking for cheaper, non-refundable tickets and pre-paid
vacation packages. Don't risk losing your entire travel
investment in the event that something unexpected happens.
Purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance
to help protect your investment.
-
Find out exactly what you're covered for on your Credit
Card travel insurance before you leave. Credit card insurance
may limit time & coverage. Purchase top up insurance to
fill these gaps.
-
Your Medication may not necessarily be legal in the country
you are visiting. Check to make sure they are allowed
in the country of your visit and be sure to carry a copy
of your prescriptions.
