Halifax, – Amanda Lynn launched a new website 2 days ago on the importance and fundamentals of travel insurance for any type of traveler to any destination. Many university and government funded studies are determining the majority of people who do not purchase travel insurance assume that they are covered under their healthcare policies, or are uneducated on the devastating situations being uninsured can result in.
A common issue is that people do not realize that general healthcare policies provide very little, if any, out-of-country medical coverage. In fact, many will not cover you if you are more than 100 miles from home. Even while in your own country a lot of policies are not comprehensive enough to cover the cost of transport back to your home or even bringing family members to your bedside.
“People are becoming more aware of the unpredictable nature of their lives while traveling, or even while at home, which can be affected by illness, natural disasters and even terrorism, so they are seeking out solutions that will mitigate these problems.” Says Amanda Lynn. “The experienced traveler knows the true value of being insured and takes solace in the fact that they will be assisted and cared for should an unfortunate event take place.”
The majority of people who choose not to purchase travel insurance are aware of the flight and trip cancellation insurance, but are not aware of travel health insurance, baggage loss or delay and even medical evacuation insurance. Having to pay for any of these events out of your own pocket can be financially devastating, as they can cost anywhere between a thousand to tens of thousands of dollars or more.
For anybody who chooses to travel, in any situation, education about travel insurance is crucial. Understanding the different types of travel insurance and all they can offer you is key. “Investing in and understanding your travel insurance policy can really improve your overall travel experience,”
The newly launched Travel Insurance – Free Your Conscience blog provides important insight and strategic information to those intending to travel. In addition, it provides knowledge on the many assistance services that are offered such as worldwide emergency hotline services, medical evacuation and coverage, along with benefits for interrupted or cancelled trips, medical and dental emergencies, lost, delayed or damaged baggage and travel suppliers, rental cars, bankruptcies and more.
