Travel Insurance

We have all faced the question, would you like to purchase holiday travel insurance? Your choice of a travel insurance policy is probably the most important decision you will make in planning your holiday, or business trip. A travel insurance policy is essential.

When you purchase your travel health insurance, you're likely to have several options regarding the amount of coverage, what specific health benefits, and a form of trip insurance (in the event your trip is cancelled or your luggage is lost, you're covered). 

Even if your present health insurance will pay doctor and hospital bills when you're out of the country, you may want to purchase a travel insurance policy to get other important benefits such as coverage for air ambulance transport and on-site medical expense payment. Most travel insurance policies are designed for a variety of travel needs but, I emphatically advise reading the fine print of any policy you purchase regarding any deductibles and health situations.

Loss or Stolen: If your luggage gets lost or stolen during your trip then your travel insurance will cover you as per the plan policy.  Remember that your travel insurance policy covers you between certain specific dates, so don't start your trip early or extend your trip without first changing the dates of coverage on your travel insurance policy.

When a trip cancellation travel insurance company refers to  a "Pre-Existing Condition", they are talking about medical conditions that  exist in the  Lookback Period that immediately precedes the travel  insurance purchase date.  When lodging a claim, it's necessary that the traveller inform the travel insurance firm as soon as possible and provide all the requisite information to support the claim, including original medical or police reports, declarations, receipts, valuations, or other evidence of ownership.
