You’re about to go on holiday, and of course, the last thing you want to think about is whether something bad will happen.

 

After paying so much for flights, accommodation, car hire etc, the cost of travel insurance can seem like an unnecessary extra expense.

 

“What if nothing goes wrong during my trip?”

 

I know the feeling…

 

Getting travel insurance is like paying for something in the hopes you never need to use it. What a waste of money!

 

But it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Life is unpredictable, and things can, will and sometimes go wrong.

 

Flight cancellations, lost baggage, medical emergencies, evacuation, accidents, theft, terrorism, stolen passports and the list goes on…

 

With that said, insuring your trip is the best way to help you make the most of your travel, whether is a two-week getaway or multi-sport trip. It gives you peace of mind while you travel.

 

Travel Insurance Tips

However, not all travel insurances are the same. Here are a few things you need to know about travel insurance:

• Know what you’re covered for. Take the time to read the fine print and description of policy wording carefully to ensure that it’s right for you.
• Buy travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. What if something unforeseen happens before departure – a medical emergency, an earthquake that causes flights to be canceled? You want to be covered for any trip interruption even before you leave.
• Keep a copy of your travel insurance document secure and accessible on your phone.
• Visit the nearest police station and file a report immediately after any accident, loss or theft.
• Lodging your claim in time with supporting document.
