Understanding and Buying Travel Insurance


Listen Later

Learn the nuances of buying travel insurance so you're actually covered for unforeseen accidents, delays, sickness, theft and more.  Many claims are denied because people don't understand their policy. Don't make that mistake and learn what to buy.

On today's show you'll learn WHY and HOW to buy travel insurance, what it generally covers before and during your trip, and how to make a claim.

Why Buy Travel Insurance?

You buy holiday insurance to help mitigate some of the losses you face when your holiday doesn’t go as planned, especially through no fault of your own.  Without insurance, you can be out a significant amount of cash for bookings you are no longer able to use.

 The Best Travel insurance can cover things:

Before your trip:
  • You or an immediate family member gets sick or dies
  • Your tour or cruise gets cancelled (in fact this just happened to me after I already bought my expensive plane tickets and some non-refundable Airbnb’s before and after my tour)
  • Your flight gets delayed
During Your trip:
  • Your bags get lost, damaged or stolen
  • You miss your connections due to other delays
  • Something you booked gets cancelled
  • You get sick or injured (or worse)
  • Your destination experiences a natural disaster or terrorist attack
