Travelers Insurance ???

It happens... Your prepared to go on that great vacation. You have planned and invested for it for months and like most of us, dreamed about it for years. Everything is set, but than an illness or accident happens. The first concern, as it should be is to the health and wellbeing of those involved. Later it hits you, I will not be able to make the trip.

We hear about this, and most of us are sad that we will miss the trip, but are happy that travel insurance will mean that our investment is protected. That is if we brought the travel insurance. Too many times we look at insurance as something we do not need or a waste of money. That is until we need it. When that time comes, it is too late to go back and buy insurance. All your money will be gone when that plane or ship leaves.

Advantage International, LLC has always recommended travel insurance. No matter if it is with your credit card company, existing personal insurance or a policy per trip. It is well worth it to be prepared. Check your existing coverage, see what you have and add what you need. A policy should cover trip cancellation and interruption, trip delay, emergency medical and dental, baggage loss and delay, and emergency transportation. Each one of these are the basic items you should look for. Consult your insurance, travel and medical professional for additional personal needs.

Make Travel Insurance a part of every trip.
