Many travelers have never secured travel protection for their trips in the past. If this is the case for you, you might have some preconceived notions about what it is and whether or not you could benefit from purchasing a travel protection plan. Here are some of the most common travel protection myths and their truths revealed.
Myth 1. You don’t need travel protection for short trips.
Truth: Travel protection is a great resource to have no matter the length of your trip. The unexpected can happen whether you’re gone for three days or three weeks. Perhaps you have an accident or medical emergency that requires you stay in the hospital. You may even need to arrange for transportation home. Travel protection may be able to help you with these unfortunate circumstances
Myth 2. Travel protection is too expensive.
Travel protection is actually quite affordable, especially when you consider the cost of the trip and the amount of coverage it can offer you. Travel protection is only a percentage of the cost of your trip in total. Check out our website to see what your plan cost would be with a no-obligation quote.
Myth 3. My credit card will cover me.
Although credit cards may offer some protection on travel, it is likely that they don’t offer the same amount of coverage a travel protection plan can. Credit card companies may only cover certain travel incidents. It is also possible that they will only cover costs that have been charged on their card. Consider a travel protection plan to avoid wondering which costs and incidents will be covered.
Myth 4. All travel protection providers and plans are the same.
Not all providers and plans are the same. At Travel Insured, we take our customer’s experience very seriously. Not only do we want to provide you with the best customer service, we also want to offer you a plan that best fits the needs you have for the trip you will be taking.
