Got Travel Insurance?: Pack Peace of Mind

Let's face it, travel insurance is the last thing that most of us think about when planning a trip. Who even wants to consider that something could go wrong on our dream vacation, family getaway, or business trip? Well, darlings, the truth is that things can go awry on even the most perfectly planned trip. Have you thought about what you would do if your trip were disrupted by a natural disaster, medical emergency, or civil disturbance?  When calamities arise, travel insurance can really save the day.

According to the U.S. Travel Insurance Association 1 in 3 travelers buy insurance for their trip and Access America is the world's leading provider. Why should you consider making travel insurance a regular part of your trip planning?

The Airline Loses Your Little Black Dresses
Nothing can ruin a day in quite the same way as watching the luggage carousel go round and round without your baggage. Travel insurance can ease the pain by covering the replacement costs of lost items (up to the limits stated in your policy.)

Mother Nature Leaves You Grounded
Did you know that airlines have no legal obligation to provide you with accommodations if your flight is canceled because of the weather? Purchase a policy with travel delay coverage and you may be reimbursed for expenses such as hotel rooms and meals up to the limit of your policy.

Get Your Money Back
Imagine that your child comes down with the flu right before the family vacation. Access America's Classic travel insurance plan with trip cancellation coverage will reimburse you for all non-refundable travel expenses, including plane tickets and theme park passes. You can then rebook that family trip when the little one is feeling better.

Help When You're Sick
I know from personal experience that seeking medical attention away from home is one of the most stressful experiences that a traveler can encounter. Don't assume that your health insurance will cover your emergency room visits in another country. And, what if your illness is so severe that you require medical evacuation? Don't gamble with your health. Access America offers comprehensive travel insurance policies that can cover medical services, hospitalization, and evacuation so that you don't have to shell out significant sums upfront.

There are many more reasons to invest in travel insurance before your next trip. Visit Access America for detailed information about their plans. Pack some peace of mind on your next trip!
