Book Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance.
Many customers ask why they should purchase travel insurance. It is important
to realized that booking travel is a contractual relationship between
you and the travel supplier. They have typically agreed to provide a service
for which you are paying. This contract typically has penalties related
to cancellations or changes. Unfortunately, regardless of your situation,
most suppliers will not relieve you of your obligations or penalties.
Insurance can be your protection from these penalties, as well as an additional
form of defense if the supplier fails to deliver on their obligations.
In addition to covering your travel, some policies provide medical coverage.
While this may seem unnecessary because you already have health insurance,
it is important to understand your coverage. Does your health insurance
cover the roughly $10,000 cost of being airlifted off a cruise ship in
an emergency? Some health insurance plans do not cover out of network
doctors, or provide coverage outside of the country. It is important to
understand what coverage you have and if additional medical coverage is
required.
Unfortunately, bad things happen - illness, injury, jury duty, a loss
in the family. Don't let them cause financial problems in additional to
causing changes to or cancellation of your vacation. This is what travel
insurance is offered for and why Constitution Travel highly recommends
you purchase coverage for your travels.
Deciding not to get insurance and accepting the risk is a personal decision.
Many suppliers will require you to sign a waiver acknowledging you understand
and accept that risk.
Below are three different providers that Constitution Travel works with
for its customers. In addition, many of our tour operators also sell coverage
as an option to their tour plans. Please note, each provider has different
policies which cover different options. There are often options for reasons
for cancellation, trip delay, lost or damaged baggage, and other options.
