Why purchase travel insurance?
I get asked this question a lot. What do ‘I’ need travel insurance for?
Or, when I ask if they would like to purchase insurance, the answer: “I’m going no matter what.”
Believe me, there is a long list of reasons as to why you would not or could not take this trip.
My personal example is a trip that I had planned years ago with my husband to Cancun. 2 days prior to the trip, he landed himself in the hospital with a stomach virus. Doctors could not identify the problem, and he spent the next 3 days in the hospital, was treated and finally released. It was a stomach virus that was masked as food poisoning. Bottom line……..we did not go, and we lost our entire cost on that one trip, because we were within the non-refundable time frame.
If you are sitting in a hospital. You are not going. If your child is sitting in the hospital. You are not going.
Many reasons why you may not go on this trip, this time.
Life happens. Take the insurance. It only takes one time for you to lose the entire cost of the trip for you to learn/realize that trip insurance is a good idea.
I now take trip insurance every time.
Every trip.
