Planning a successful, safe and fun trip typically means investing in the security of travel insurance

Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) October 24, 2009 - The holiday season is upon us, meaning many individuals and families will be booking their trips to go away for the holidays. But planning a successful, safe and fun trip typically means investing in the security of travel insurance, according to a recent InsuranceAgents.com article, ‘Travel Insurance: Going On Holiday.’

“For many travelers, the ultimate vacation is only as good as the amount of preparation you put into the trip,” according to the article. “Part of a responsible traveler’s preparation should include proper travel insurance.”

Many travelers may think travel insurance is a superfluous expense, that once the trip is booked and paid for, there is no reason for travel insurance. However, they are dead wrong. There are several kinds of situations when you would be glad to have travel insurance. Here are just a few:

1. If you have to cancel your trip last minute, due to an emergency, scheduling conflict, or if you or a family member is sick, travel insurance will reimburse you all expenses.
2. If you missed your connecting flight due to plane delays, travel insurance will reimburse hotel and meal expenses if you were stuck in the city for a night.
3. If you’ve been robbed, travel insurance will protect you financially. “If you’re in a foreign city—particularly a tourist hot spot—there’s a very real chance that theft will occur. Whether it’s your wallet, purse, passport, or other personal belongings, travel insurance can insure your belongings and reimburse you the loss,” the article says.
4. Travel insurance offers healthcare around the globe if your healthcare doesn’t cover medical assistance in foreign destinations.

No matter what time of year you go, or what destination you choose, it’s always the responsible decision to consider travel insurance. It provides worldwide protection for your belongings as well as your own well being. Talk to your insurance agent before booking any trip to see if you need travel insurance.
