5 Reasons You Need Travel Insurance
Considering skipping out on travel insurance?
Think again! Travel and trip insurance can provide added protection when you need it most, and when you expect it least. Think of it as protecting the investment you’re making to see the world. Keep swiping for a few reasons why you shouldn’t skip out on it.
You’re protecting your investment
Accidents can and do happen. One of the best reasons to buy travel and trip insurance is to have the protection of trip cancellation.
Your medical insurance may not offer full coverage
My hope is that you never need medical assistance while you’re traveling. But just in case you do, it’s important to know what your existing medical insurance will and won’t cover. I recommend reviewing your existing coverage to see where there are gaps.
Your credit card coverage may not cover all the bases
Credit Card insurance can be great in a pinch. But we all learned in 2020 that it doesn’t cover everything — Including pandemics!). It’s a good idea to consider insurance that has more comprehensive coverage, just in case.
Medical evacuations can be pricey
If you ever need to be transported to a medical facility in the country you’re visiting or to return home for medical assistance, costs can be sky-high. It’s a good idea to have an insurance plan that includes emergency medical transport, just in case.
Missing luggage is enough to ruin a trip
Missing bags can ruin a trip unless you have baggage delay benefits. Some policies will cover your lost baggage so you’re not stuck replacing all of your items out of pocket, and that can make ALL the difference in how your trip goes.
