Why Do I Need Travel Insurance?

While individual circumstances may vary, its always recommended to any traveller to make buying travel insurance a part of your planning -- don't leave home without it ...

When you're travelling, even a minor accident or sickness can become a major expense and inconvenience.

As soon as you have made any payment for your travel, including a deposit, you should ask your travel consultant to arrange Travel Insurance for you.

You pay only for the period that you are actually away, but once you have effected the insurance you will be covered for costs you might incur should you have to cancel prior to your departure (subject, of course, to the conditions of your policy).

To demonstrate the importance of purchasing travel insurance, and emergency travel services, here are 10 common examples of what could go wrong.

1.It's 10 p.m. and you and your immediate family arrive at the airport for a connecting flight, only to find that your flight has been cancelled. Who can assist you with finding new flights to get everyone home?

2.Your bag was lost with your insulin inside. You need help to locate your bag as soon as possible and have your emergency prescription filled. Who do you call?

3.Your first visit to Europe, and your passport and wallet are stolen. Where do you turn for emergency cash, and how will you get your passport replaced?

4.You're involved in an accident and adequate medical treatment is not available. Who will help arrange and pay for a medical evacuation?

5.If your sister-in-law becomes seriously ill and you must cancel your trip, what happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments?

6.You arrive in Jamaica and your luggage doesn't. If it's lost, who will help you find it? If it's delayed, who will pay for your necessities? If it's stolen, who will pay to replace it?

7.Your cruise line, airline or tour operator goes bankrupt. Who will pay for your non-refundable expenses? Who will help get you to your destination?

8.You're walking down a street in Rio and twist your ankle. Who can help you find an English-speaking physician?

9.Three weeks before your scheduled arrival, a terrorist incident occurs in the city to which you are planning to visit. Who will pay if you want to cancel your trip?

10.You are at a beach resort in North Carolina, and you are forced to evacuate due to an approaching hurricane. Who will help you evacuate and who will reimburse your lost vacation investment?
