I love to travel! I love to see the world! The cool breeze of mountain views, the sunny smile of the sun kissing the waters at the beaches, spectacular taste and flavors of different delicacies and a lot more. Travelling makes me feel great! It cuts my stresses out and makes my body free of any negativity! But there is just always one concern when we hit the road. What’s that? SAFETY! Safety in traveling is what we always consider. With that I purchased travel insurance. I suggest that you too should grab one now. Why? Here are the 4 facts that will definitely raise you up on your computer desk, grabbing the phone and calling a travel insurance company!
Health insurance and travel insurance are not the same. A lot of us (I think this thing as the same also before) mistakenly think that health insurances will cover their medical treatments while they are on the road and that is the primary reason why we are not purchasing travel insurance. They are different thing!
According to studies conducted in Europe, we have 1 in 77 chances of losing our luggage when flying in a European airline (based from the statistics provided by the Association of European Airlines). That stills a lot of chances. If you have travel insurance, they can pay your lost luggage.
There were about more than 19,000 people who required consular help broad due to lost passport, law violations and medical needs (per Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2010). Losing your passport is like losing your identity in a world were in no one really knows you. Having travel insurance will help you regarding this matter.
You can get travel insurance through websites (I got mine at Malayan Insurance) or on travel agencies and cruise lines. I strongly recommend that you get the insurance as soon as your flights have been booked. In that way you are covered in case your flight gets delayed or is cancelled. This will also prevents you from forgetting to buy insurance.
Are you on the phone now? Hehe..
