Why Travel Insurance?
While we are NOT Insurance Agents we are required by law as Travel Agents to offer you travel insurance and to educate you of the risks you take if you choose not to accept our offer. There is no BETTER way to PROTECT your vacation dollars spent than by buying travel insurance. There are many possibilities out there that can play havoc with your travel plans: flight delays, lost luggage or passports, medical emergencies, unforeseen evacuations, cancellations just to name a few! Travel insurance can provide you complete peace of mind and reassurance that your vacation $ spent are protected for an average cost of only $8-10 per Vacation Day. Even, if you purchased an airline ticket, you are still in need of protection. Do you know that 25% of ALL flights in the United States are late? And, that's on a good day! This can create a “domino” effect of missed flight connections and can even cause you to miss the departure of your cruise ship or tour. Oh, and let's not forget the issue of lost luggage! Lost luggage is just a 'fact of life' in today's airline travel. BEFORE YOU SAY "NO" TO TRAVEL INSURANCE ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS: 1. Can you risk losing your vacation investment if something goes wrong due to illness, weather or other unforeseen circumstances? 2. If you have to cut your trip sort due to an emergency, can you afford the cost of a return airline trip home? 3. Does your health insurance provide coverage away from home and out of the country? What if you become ill or are injured while traveling? What if you need to be AIRLIFTED? 4. If your bags are lost or you have to spend an extra night because of weather-related problems, can you afford to buy necessities and pay for extra lodging? If you cannot answer 'YES' to the above questions: Travelology does have a preferred plan to protect your investment dollars. We have chosen TravelSafe and Allianz Travel Insurance as our preferred suppliers for travel insurance. Both Allianz Travel Insurance and TravelSafe Insurance is one of the industry's leading travel insurance suppliers that can offer you numerous benefits that can help your vacation experience stay positive, even if something unexpected occurs. Without the purchase of insurance, you could lose up to the full cost of your trip!
