Do you find yourself wondering if you should purchase the travel protection offered to you whenever you book a trip... and question whether it is worth it?
The simple answer... yes and YES!
I know, if often feels like there are so many add-on costs that show up after you convince yourself that your trip is within the budget you told yourself that you would not go over.
Well, here's another way of looking at this: Your out-of-pocket expenses could become astronomical if you do not protect your trip, should something unforeseeable happens!
Travel protection is a great investment for several reasons:
Lost or stolen baggage, or items, while traveling
An unforeseeable circumstance that leads to a trip cancellation
A medical emergency
All of these reasons can cause a financial setback, without being able to recoup at least some of the expense of the trip, if you do not purchase a travel protection plan.
The medical reason alone is a good enough reason for purchasing travel protection. It really should be a no-brainer, especially if you are planning travel outside of the country. Private insurance plans will not cover a medical emergency or hospitalization outside of the U.S. This is where your travel protection comes in.
There are companies that offer a separate travel protection plan, and most plans can be renewed on an annual basis. The plans are reasonably priced, and they cover all travel for the time period the plan is purchased for. Both individual and family plans are available. Of course, you should do your own comparison to determine the amount of coverage for your personal needs. For more information about protection plans, click the link here.
