Travel Insurance

It is imperative that you purchase travel insurance for any trip you have significant money invested. That could be a short weekend holiday, a cruise, or in a new development, a weekend flight. Jet Blue has announced that they will refund your money if you lose your job and have to cancel your trip. Many travel insurance companies have policies that allow you to cancel for business reasons, or any reason at all. Those policies are a bit more expensive, but are crucial if you have any doubts or concerns about your plans. You get your money back, less the cost of the insurance, no matter what reason you need to cancel. Other insurance plans cover for basic medical, including pre-existing conditions, catastrophic medical and other reasons. Some insurance covers for natural and human made disasters. During hurricane season it is important to buy coverage if you are taking a cruise in the Caribbean. In many cases, children are covered for free. You can buy travel insurance through your travel agent even if you bought your airfare and hotels online. There is a difference between the insurance you can purachase through cruise and tour companies and the insurance you purchase through a dedicated insurance seller like your travel agency. Make sure to check with your travel consultant on the many variables available with travel insurance.
