The kids are out of school and the weather is nice in many areas across the country, making summer a great time to travel. Whether you’re visiting family or sightseeing somewhere new, traveling can lead to some unexpected twists and turns. There’s nothing quite like a stolen suitcase or illness to ruin a trip.
Fortunately, those who prepare in advance can get travel insurance to protect these summer vacations. And there are plenty of policies available to match the type of traveling you’re doing, from domestic to international.
How can travel insurance protect your summer travels? Just take a look at some of the coverage options that are available.
- Trip Cancellation: Something may come up at the last minute that results in the need to cancel or postpone your trip. For instance, the area you intend to travel to may be experiencing a weather disaster or a family member may be very ill. If you’ve already paid non-refundable deposits and bought plane tickets, a cancellation could be a financial blow. However, travel insurance can help cover these lost expenses.
- Stolen/Lost/Damaged Luggage: Losing a bag—whether it’s lost or damaged by the airline, or stolen along the way—can have a huge negative effect on your trip. It can obviously be a financial loss, but it also may ruin plans if your sporting or photography gear is lost. Travel insurance can help protect your property for the duration of the trip.
- Medical: If you get sick or injured while traveling, your healthcare may not extend to wherever you are. A travel insurance policy with medical coverage can help you get the care you need for an affordable price, including a medical evacuation if you’re in a remote location.
If you’re planning a summer trip, talk to your insurance agent about your travel insurance options. With the right protection, you can travel with peace of mind.
