3 Reasons To Consider Travel Protection

I use the term Travel Protection because you are protecting your investment spent for your vacation. After these past hurricanes we have had and the Covid 19 Pandemic,  I feel this is an important topic to touch upon now.

The Question is: "Why should you buy Travel Protection?"  

Well, here are my top 3 reasons you need to buy travel protection.     

1. Trip Cancellation and Interruption      

 Trip Interruption could be weather related. Perhaps you need a connecting flight, but due to weather conditions the flight cannot arrive on time. You have to wait a day until you can catch your next flight. You have lost 1 full day of your vacation. One day you paid for to be in Tahiti for your 10 year anniversary. Would you like to be reimbursed?     What about if you or a family member gets sick or injured prior to your trip? Will you want to take care of that family member or maybe they were joining you on that trip to Italy, but cannot make it now due to sickness or injury.   You have spent a pretty penny for this once in a life time trip. Do you want to lose partial or all that money you invested in because you need to cancel?

2. Baggage (reimbursement for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage)

So let's say due to that delayed connecting flight your luggage got lost when heading to Tahiti. Yes you would be upset and maybe the luggage would be found, but you know that you will get reimbursed for that lost, stolen or damaged baggage. What if this were to happen without having Travel Protection? Oh well.

3.  Medical (for health issues that occur outside of your normal coverage area)

Say you're doing some hiking in Costa Rica and you slip and fall. You break your leg. You will need to get to a hospital. You need medical coverage to take care of the surgery you are going to need. You are even going to be missing part of your vacation due to spending time in the hospital. Just because you have health insurance at home does not mean that it will cover you on your trip. Would you like to have your medical expenses covered?

To sum it up:

Think about it, you have invested money on taking your romantic getaway, vacation, or perhaps it is a destination wedding you are going to. Do you want to lose part or all that money you paid for that vacation? Do you want a stress free trip? Of course you do, but buying that travel protection can help you knowing  that "if".... It is like a "safety net."  The relief from knowing you have this protection is priceless.

There are many travel protection plans available. Including “Cancel for any Reason”, which can save you from almost anything, including just changing your mind.
