While no one ever expects something to disrupt your vacation investment, it happens with all too much frequency: illness, injury, job loss or death. At The Tiki Travel Planner, we firmly believe that you should protect your investment, Below are some very important reasons to purchase Travel Insurance.
1. You need to cancel your trip: Life is unpredictable! What happens if someone gets sick and can’t travel, a parent dies, you’re required to work, or your house floods? With trip cancellation coverage, you’ll be able to recover your out-of-pocket expenses for these covered reasons and more.
2. You miss your flight connection: You’ve planned a cruise but you discover the connecting flight to get to the ship is delayed. With the missed connection it looks like you will miss your cruise departure. How will you catch up to the ship? With missed connection coverage, you can take another flight to catch the ship at the next port-of-call. You’ll also have assistance services to help you arrange and pay for those travel changes.
3. Your flight is canceled: After attending a family wedding, you arrive at the airport to return home and are told tornadoes have canceled all flights through Dallas. Who will help you find a new flight to return home? With trip interruption coverage, you’ll have the money to refund the expenses of a new return ticket or to stay in a comfortable hotel.
4. A hurricane damages your destination: You saved all year for a summer vacation to St. Maarten, but a hurricane destroys the hotel a week before you depart. Will you lose all the money you worked so hard to save? With travel insurance protection for weather damage, you’ll be able to recover your pre-paid costs.
5. You get sick or injured on your trip: You and your friends have planned a hiking trip to climb Machu Picchu since college. After your first night in Lima, you wake with severe stomach pains and a high fever. You cannot start your hike. Instead, you need emergency medical care – and quick. With travel medical coverage, you won’t be paying a huge medical bill. 30%- 50% of travelers stateside and abroad will become ill or injured during their trip. You'll have assistance services- in your own language- to locate a suitable medical facility and arrange transportation. Also, the majority of health insurance policies (including Medicare), worker's compensation insurance, third-party and personal liability policies don't cover international travel. A closer look at the inside of your passport will reveal that the government recommends travel insurance when traveling outside the United States.
6. You need an emergency medical evacuation: You and your son have planned a summer hiking tour of the Alps, but high in the mountains you are overcome with dizziness and a dangerously high fever. You need immediate emergency medical attention. How will you get to safety? With medical evacuation coverage, you can arrange safe transportation to a medical facility. Medical evacuations typically cost tens of thousands of dollars, but with trip insurance you won’t break the bank to save your yourself. The majority of your regular Health Insurance does not cover you in foreign countries!
7. Your baggage is delayed or lost: Your special day has finally arrived – a wedding at a beach side resort. Unfortunately, the airline made a mistake and your baggage will be delayed. Luckily you’ve got the dress and the rings, but what about your other clothes, shoes, toothpaste, and personal items? With coverage for delayed bags, you can relax. The service hot-line will help you recover your bags. You’ll also be reimbursed for the essential items you need to start enjoying your trip.
8. You’ve planned an excursion to Egypt for years, but weeks before leaving a terrorist attack occurs. The airports are closed and Egypt is in chaos. It would be unwise to travel now, but will you lose all your non refundable fees?
9. Your travel company files bankruptcy: You’ve planned a two-week honeymoon tour Alaska, but a week before the trip you see on the news that your tour is canceled due to financial default of the tour company. How will you recover your money?
With trip insurance that covers financial default, you’ll be able to recoup your expenses.
10. You need emergency assistance services: You and your parents have planned a trip to their home country, but on your way, the train is canceled for mechanical repairs. You don’t speak the language. Who can help you locate alternative transportation?
With trip insurance you’ll have emergency assistance services. The service agents will recover your non refundable fees, then locate and pay for transportation to get you where you want to be.
