Trip Insurance


BobJoy

Recommended Posts

I just purchased coverage for a cruise in September on http://www.insuremytrip.com. Two of the carriers on the site are now offering Cancel for Any Reason coverage that reimburses 75% of any pre-paid expenses if you cancel for any reason up to 2 days prior to departure. I decided to give it a try. As far as I know this is a new feature. In the past, only cruise lines offered this type of coverage.

 

I could be wrong!!

You really do want to purchase some insurance.

You probably will not need it, but things can and do happen.

 

check out all the policies on insuremytrip . You do not need to pay top dollar...or anything near top dollar.

 

Travelex is a great product at a nice, low price.

 

Deaths & accidents occur.....which could prevent you from traveling. You want to be sure that you do not loose all of your money.

 

My Mom died a few days after we got off of a cruise. If the timing had been different, and we did not have insurance....we would have lost a lot of money.

My son broke his elbow requiring 2 surgerys a few days before scheduled trip. It took a while but we got our money back. We then rebooked it for this summer. I was hating the $ I paid for the insurance but if I had not bought it We would have lost $9800

I will never book without it!

We watched two people being airlifted off our ship two different days on our btob cruises last fall. Both were due to falls on the ship. We haven't always purchased insurance but now that we are older and retired we always do. However, those two incidents brought home the fact that anyone at any age can have something like this happen, so now we recommend everyone in our family have insurance. Don't leave home without it!

Has anyone ever used STA Travel insurance? It seems to cover everything and it charges by length of time you are traveling. We fall under 9-15 days and the charge is only 70 dollars per person. Any pros or cons on this insurance?

This is the coverage we have chosen from insuremytrip.com

The cost ($95) covers the whole family. Cost of trip per family member is +-$1000 I think this coverage is adequate - do you cruise veterans agree?
