Should I Purchase Travel Insurance?

by Peter Greenberg

This is one of those age-old questions with no definitive answer. It’s estimated that 30 percent of Americans purchase travel insurance, which is a drastic increase since 9/11, when less than 10 percent of travelers were insured.

If you’re flying on a $150 ticket to see Aunt Irma in Wisconsin, you probably don’t need travel insurance. But on a trip such as yours, travel insurance can come in handy if something unexpectedly disrupts your trip. Your first step is to compare the cost of the trip versus the cost of the policy.

The most common situations when travel insurance comes in handy are:

•    Your flight is canceled
•    Your passport and wallet are stolen
•    You require medical treatment while abroad
•    You need to cancel your trip due to illness
•    An unexpected hurricane hits your destination
•    Your airline/cruise line/tour company go bankrupt

Reasons NOT to purchase travel insurance are:

•    You’re afraid of terrorism
•    A hurricane is going to hit your destination (this applies if the storm has already been named by the National Weather Service)
•    Your pet is ill
•    Your flight is delayed for so long that you want to cancel

One major caveat: Never purchase travel insurance from the same tour operator or cruise line with which you’re traveling. If that company goes out of business, there may not be money to cover your claim. Use a third-party provider (that includes travel agents).

Also, don’t forget about medical insurance. Even if you are covered for basic emergency care overseas, in almost all cases, your current health insurance does NOT cover you to evacuate you and fly you back to the U.S. Something called “Medical Evacuation and Repatriation” insurance comes in handy here. You pay a yearly fee, and if you get sick or injured overseas, the policy will get you treated, stabilized and flown back to the U.S. to the hospital of your choice, not theirs. There are a number of good companies that provide this type of plan, such as MedJet Assist.

If you are preparing to travel abroad, whether it is on business or for pleasure and for only a few days or many weeks, you should not set out before you have purchased suitable international travel health insurance coverage.

Medical care can be very expensive overseas and in many countries you will find that you will be unable to get medical treatment, even in an emergency, unless you are in a position to pay for your treatment up front. If this seems strange then believe me � it is a fact.

On one recent vacation I took a friend to the local hospital in a popular Far Eastern holiday town after a luckily minor road traffic accident in which he suffered a nasty cut to his foot requiring stitches and, in addition to the nurses and doctors in the emergency room, we also ran into one of the hospital administrators who required details of my friend’s medical insurance or a credit card/cash payment before treatment could be started.

International travel health insurance is specifically designed to provide medical coverage for individuals traveling overseas and is an extremely flexible form of medical insurance cover. It frequently allows for daily rates (rates based on the number of days for which you will be traveling) and can normally be purchased without the need to answer health questions and regardless of your age. Coverage is also normally available on a worldwide basis and can also be arranged to provide cover for travel to specific countries.

One especially important thing to think about when buying international travel health insurance however is just where in the world you intend traveling to and what standard of medical care will be available to you on arrival. Bearing this in mind, you should ensure that any policy covers you for every possible eventuality including things like hospitalization, ambulance fees (including the possible need for an air ambulance) and, critically, coverage for repatriation if this proves necessary.

Remember also that, if you are vacationing as a family, any plan should cover the whole family and provide for such things as expenses should it be necessary for one or both parents to stay in hospital with a sick child or to travel home with a child by air ambulance.

One of the very last things that we ever think about happening when we travel overseas, especially on vacation, is being involved in an accident or being taken ill while we are away with anything more than a simple upset stomach. Nevertheless, accidents do happen every day and serious illness can strike without warning. Indeed, the chances of such an event are considerably heightened when we are out of our usual environment, so why should we take the risk.

When it comes to buying international travel health insurance the principles are the same as those which apply to buying any other type of insurance. Take your time and shop around looking at plans from a number of companies before making your choice. Limit yourself to well know insurers, which have an international reputation, and read carefully through the small print of any policy document before committing yourself.

Finally, keep in mind that dealing with medical problems when you are sick and thousands of miles from home is something which needs to be quick and easy. So, do not cut corners when arranging your coverage! You might pay a bit more than you would perhaps like to but, if you have to use your policy, you will be very happy you spent those few extra dollars.
