Why Buy Travel Protection

Reasons why you may want to consider purchasing a travel protection plan for your trip.

WHO COULD BUY TRAVEL PROTECTION?

Travelers of all kinds, such as...

- Retirees taking a cruise

- Families going to Disney World

- Couples taking a vacation

- College students backpacking Europe

WORLDWIDE COVERAGE

Protection plans are available for...

- DOMESTIC TRIPS

- INTERNATIONAL TRIPS

- TRIPS OF ANY LENGTH (varies per plan)

- MULTIPLE TRIPS A YEAR

PRE- AND POST- DEPARTURE COVERAGE

Coverage begins after purchase and continues through the duration of your trip.

BEFORE THE TRIP

Travel protection begins while you are still at home. Plans might include last-minute cancellations due to sickness, inclement weather, or a terrorist incident occurs.

DURING THE TRIP

Can provide coverage for:

- emergency/accident care

- medical evacuations

- travel delays

- missed connections

- lost/stolen baggage

- and more.

TOP REASONS FOR PURCHASE

Travelers may often worry about...

CANCELLATION

If forced to cancel their trip, travelers may want reimbursement for their pre-paid, non-refundable costs.

MEDICAL COVERAGE

Especially when going abroad, travelers may become concerned about potential medical expenses.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

Many travelers may have concerns about loss or theft of their baggage and important items, like a passport.

THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO KEEP IN MIND

- Health insurance: Your ordinary insurance plans may not offer coverage abroad, or they may have lower limits.

- Medicare: In most situations, Medicare may not offer medical coverage outside of the U.S.

- Credit card: Credit cards may have some travel coverage built in, but some may not provide as many benefits as those provided by a third party travel protection plan.

- Cruise line: Cruise lines may offer their own protection plans, but you can help protect your cruise with a plan from a third party provider that may be more extensive.

A third party travel protection plan may offer more extensive coverage.

"WHAT IF" SCENARIOS TO CONSIDER

Would you be able to handle these situations without the help of travel protection?

What if...

- you are involved in a car crash?

- you injure yourself during or before the trip?

- you lose baggage during the trip?

- your flight is delayed for several hours and you need to get a hotel for the night?

- your cruise or air carrier, or your travel connection?

- someone traveling with you is immediately hurt, sick, or passes away?

- a cruise due to a delayed flight has to pay a fee to fly to the next port of call?

- disaster impacts your travel plans?
