How to Find and Pick the Best Travel Insurance

May 10, 2020 by Jeremy

Travel insurance is an essential part of traveling, as it ensures that your travel would be fruitful and safe. It covers your expenses related to unforeseen emergencies, cancellation of the trip, loss of luggage, and above all, healthcare services. All travel insurance policies have specific benefits and exclusions, so it’s common sense, imperative, and necessary to take the time to read the policy wording carefully. An excellent point to start is to read travel insurance reviews of your selected insurance plan to avoid any unforeseen hurdles.

Before taking any insurance, make sure that it covers your needs. Every insurance plan has its shortcomings and benefits, and before making any decision, you must familiarize yourself with every aspect of the program.

Home insurance

Home insurance includes loss of goods when you are away from the house. If you have home insurance, then exclude it in travel insurance and save money. Sometimes, credit cards and bank accounts cover travel insurance; in such a case, check if the cover is good enough, saving you the extra expenditure of travel insurance.

Annual travel insurance

Making a wise decision while buying insurance is very important. If you travel more than four times a year, whether it is for a business trip, vacation, or any other reason, then opt for annual insurance instead of per trip coverage. Annual insurance with one time fees will cost you less than purchasing an insurance every trip. You can save money and the hassle of getting insurance before every single trip.

Comparison tools

Different sites provide you with an insight into different insurance companies and their policies related to coverage criteria. You can compare and choose the best plan, which includes medical insurance, cancellation of the trip, loss of baggage, and other benefits.

Reviews

Experiences also help you in picking the best travel insurance. The people who have already traveled and availed insurance services can give you a better understanding of the companies’ procedures and rules.

International vs. National insurance

The choice of your destination will determine your insurance plan. All insurance companies don’t cover international travel, or they sometimes exclude certain countries. So make sure to opt for that policy, which includes all the countries in your itinerary.

Cancellations

If your plan changes due to genuine reasons and you are unable to travel, your insurance company will cover your expenses, which you have already paid to the traveling agency for bookings. If you get insurance policy before leaving for the trip, then you don’t have to worry about extra booking costs as the insurance company takes liability and reimburses all expenses.

Medical expenses

If you happen to come across any accident or an unforeseen medical problem, you might not have the budget to cover your medical costs. Such situations can cause frustration, and they can easily ruin your travel fun. To avoid such a predicament, get a comprehensive travel insurance policy before leaving.

A comprehensive Plan

When traveling to unfamiliar places, you might get robbed, or someone might steal your luggage, this can ruin your mood and high expectations for this trip. If you are on a business trip and lose your important stuff, this can cause a real problem, but insurance companies try to cover your damages.

People get a rental car and make their trips easy and comfortable while avoiding public transport. But when you are driving yourself, accidents might happen. If you have insurance, your company will pay for damages and replacement. Travel insurance protects you from unseen events. So its importance can’t be denied.

My name is Jeremy and I used to be a pretty high-up chef in New York City. I worked at a few high scale restaurants and loved it for many years. But then it began to feel like something was missing. After a short trip to Thailand, I knew what I had to do.

I came back to NYC, gave my work notice, packed up and headed out to the road. Since 2015, I've been backpacking around the world (and eating everything!!!). Thankfully with all the walking I do traveling, I've only gained a few pounds hahaha. Read More…
