Why Travel Insurance Matters, and What to Look for Before You Buy

Unforgettable adventures deserve thoughtful protection!

When you're investing in a well-curated, high-value trip, whether it’s an African safari, a luxury river cruise, or a multi-generational European adventure, travel insurance isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” It’s an essential part of a well-planned journey.

As a travel advisor, I’ve seen firsthand how the right policy can provide real peace of mind, and how the wrong one can lead to unexpected headaches. So, how do you choose the right one for your trip?

Let’s break it down.

Why You Need Travel Insurance

Things can go wrong, even on the most perfectly planned vacation:

• Flights can be delayed or canceled

• Luggage can go missing

• Illness or injury could interrupt your trip

• A family emergency could prevent you from traveling altogether

Travel insurance protects not just the investment you’ve made in your trip, but your peace of mind while you’re away.

What to Look for in a Travel Insurance Policy

Not all policies are created equal. Here's what to consider before choosing one:

1. Know What’s Covered - Make sure the policy includes things like trip cancellation, trip interruption, emergency medical, and baggage protection. Some even offer coverage for travel delays, missed connections, or sickness-related disruptions.

2. Understand What’s Not Covered - Every policy has exclusions, so it’s important to understand the fine print. Pre-existing conditions, certain adventure sports, or pandemics might not be included unless specified.

3. Research the Provider’s Reputation - This is one of the most important, and often overlooked steps. I recommend looking into real traveller reviews and getting a feel for how responsive and supportive the company is during the claims process.

In short: evaluate how past clients rate their service and how efficiently they handle claims. A policy is only as good as the support you’ll receive when something goes wrong.
