The recent events in Haiti bring up a legitimate concern for today's traveler. What do I do if something happens while I'm on vacation? It could and does happen occasionally, especially with the annual threat of hurricanes in the Caribbean. With travel insurance coverage, travelers have numerous coverage options available including medical expenses, trip interruption and emergency travel services to meet your needs.
Travel insurance companies can help you with medical assistance, re-booking flights, re-booking hotels, re-booking car rental, and roadside assistance. Did the airline lose your luggage or did you lose your passport? Your travel insurance can help. Some even offer concierge service as part of their program. You can get restaurant recommendations, event tickets and even tee times. Travel Guard (www.travelguard.com) is a good option when considering travel insurance with its coverage options and 24-hour service.
Travel insurance can be a little pricey, but chances are that the cost is minimal compared to the total price you paid for trip. Therefore, we think purchasing travel insurance is always a good idea, especially when traveling outside the country.
*Please note: Travel insurance does not necessarily provide all the services or coverage in this post. Please research and contact companies for a complete list of services and coverage before purchasing travel insurance.
