SAFETY TRAVEL TIPS – TRAVEL INSURANCE

Travel insurance: Cut your risks If illness, accident, or emergency strikes before or during a tour or cruise, you could face two major financial risks: the loss of nonrefundable prepayments and the heavy expense of emergency transportation home. Fortunately, travel insurance can protect you against both.

Buying travel insurance will also save you for the following hassles:

  • Loss of Passport
  • Personal Liability
  • Travel Delay
  • Hijack
  • Personal Accident
  • Medical & Emergency Expenses
  • Hospital Benefits
  • Loss of Checked Baggage
  • Delay of Checked Baggage

Contact our travel consultants for more details on the above and find out why pay extra to insure your trip!
