Travel Protection
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.
10 reasons to have Travel Protection
1. Life is unpredictable. Some trips need to be cancelled.
2. Most lost luggage takes five days to return to its owner.
Travel Insurance provides coverage to replace needed items right away. (1)
3. Lost or forgotten medication?
Travel insurance will assist you in locating a pharmacy to purchase a new prescription. (2)
4. 30%-50% of travelers stateside and abroad will become ill or injured during their trip.
That's almost one out of every two travelers. Travel insurance can provide peace of mind - especially for travel outside the United States.
5. Health insurance may not go the distance.
The majority of health insurance (including Medicare), worker's compensation insurance, third-party and personal liability policies don't cover international travel. In fact, a closer look at the inside of your passport will reveal that the government recommends travel insurance when traveling outside the United States.
6. In the event of a natural disaster, airline strike or act of terrorism, airlines will not refund the cost of your ticket.
Travel Insurance plans can cover the cost and help travelers get home quickly and safely. (3)
7. Credit card coverage, homeowners and auto insurance ? None of these provide sufficient coverage for travel.
Even combined, they may not offset the cost of a medical emergency overseas. (4)
8. Travel Delays
If you run into delays getting to your travel destination and miss a portion of your trip, you're covered.
9. Even the most stable of travel suppliers can default quickly.
If a cruise line, airline or tour operator ceases operations due to financial hardship or bankruptcy, travel insurance saves travelers from paying for a trip they'll really never get to take. (5)
10. We all experience tough economic times.The loss of a job or other income might mean a trip planned in advance may have to wait. Travel insurance puts cash back into the hands of travelers when they need it most.
