Why Buy Travel Insurance?
We understand that your Trip can take a year to plan for, but only a second to ruin. While you can't do anything to prevent an unexpected storm from closing the airport, you can do something to help cover your travel investment-buy travel insurance.
To demonstrate the importance of purchasing travel insurance, here are some common examples of what could go wrong.
- You are excited because you were able to secure an Alcatraz Cruise and Hop‐on/Hop‐off bus tour tickets for next month's family vacation in San Francisco. A few days before departing, you get a call that your pregnant sister is in the hospital with complications.
- Since you were young, you always dreamed of being an astronaut. For your 40th birthday, you invited 10 of your closest friends to join you on a Kennedy Space Center Tour with a special lunch with an actual NASA astronaut. Unfortunately, Hurricane Zelda is looking to crash your party.
- You wanted to show your wife how much she means to you even after all these years. You booked a private limo taking both of you from the hotel to the pier for a Statue of Liberty Dinner Dance Cruise. A week prior to your trip, she is involved in a serious car accident.
- For your first international trip, you decide to go to Mexico. On the second day of your seven day vacation, you wake up with an excruciating stomach ache that sends you to the hospital. What happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments for the missed portions of your trip?
- On your walking tour of Budapest, your passport and wallet is stolen. Where do you turn for emergency cash, and how will you get your passport replaced?
- You arrive in Paris and your luggage doesn't. If it's lost, who will help you find it? If it's delayed, what will you do about necessities? If it's stolen, how will you replace it?
