Do your future plans include a
relaxing vacation?
The AAA travel agencies say trip insurance is
equally as important as securing a trusted travel
agent, having your tickets in hand (what about
e-tickets?) and packing your suitcase.
As a wise sage once said, “It’s better to be safe
than sorry.” If your journey is to include a cruise, a
package tour, or an apartment or house rental –
which you would normally pay in full before you
leave – trip insurance can be quite useful. The same
is true if you should need medical insurance while
traveling overseas.
This small, additional purchase can save you
thousands of dollars if you are forced to cancel due to
unforeseen circumstances. In general, the closer you
are to your departure date, the more you will lose – up
to the full amount – includingmeals and admissions
to attractions. Inmany instances, insurance costs
can be relatively inexpensive, but well worth the
investment. Trip cancellation or interruption insurance
averages $5 or $6 per $100 of trip costs.
AAA says it is always wise to determine whether
your existing insurance policies already cover
your needs while you and your family are away:
• Check with your auto insurance company before
renting a car to find out if you are covered in the
event of an accident. Your policy at home does
not cover you abroad, except in Canada. You may
need insurance through a car rental company and
an international driving permit depending on the
country in which you are traveling.
• Find out if your personal policies cover lost
luggage. If you have an umbrella policy, lost
luggage may already be covered.
• Check with your medical insurance provider before
purchasing extra coverage for your overseas trip. Many
United States health plans do not cover you outside of
America, unless you are traveling on business. There
are several international medical policies available that
can be customized to fit your travel plans. Also, if you
are a senior citizen, you should assume that Medicare
will not cover you while you are in a foreign country.
AAA advises travelers to do their homework before
purchasing travel insurance. For instance, request the
full contract so you will
know everything that the
policy covers. In this way
you will be able to read
Trip Insurance is Peace of Mind” Insurance
”
the fine print – the growing list of restrictions that are
being imposed by some insurance companies.
AAA advises against:
• Purchasing a policy from the wholesale tour
operator from which you bought the trip. If that
company goes out of business, the chances are very
good your policy will be worthless.
• Buying trip insurance from a cruise line because
their policies can carry less coverage, and their
benefits may stop between 24 and 72 hours before
you depart. AAA recommends a policy that will cover
you up to the departure time and/or throughout the
entire trip.
AAA suggests learning more about the benefits
of purchasing trip insurance from a qualified travel
professional, such as a AAA travel agent. Travel
insurance is your safety net should the unexpected
arise, but it is up to you – the traveler – if it is right
for you.
