10 Reasons to Purchase Travel Insurance

There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your 
trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment 
while traveling.

To demonstrate the importance of purchasing travel insurance, and emergency 
travel services, here are 10 common examples of what could go wrong.

It's 10 p.m. and you and your immediate family arrive at the airport for a 
connecting flight, only to find that your flight has been cancelled. Who can 
assist you with finding new flights to get everyone home?

Your bag was lost with your insulin inside. You need help to locate your bag 
as soon as possible and have your emergency prescription filled. Who do you 
call?

Your first visit to Europe, and your passport and wallet are stolen. Where 
do you turn for emergency cash, and how will you get your passport replaced?

You're involved in an accident and adequate medical treatment is not 
available. Who will help arrange and pay for a medical evacuation?

If your sister-in-law becomes seriously ill and you must cancel your trip, 
what happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments?

You arrive in Jamaica and your luggage doesn't. If it's lost, who will help 
you find it? If it's delayed, who will pay for your necessities? If it's 
stolen, who will pay to replace it?

Your cruise line, airline or tour operator goes bankrupt. Who will pay for 
your non-refundable expenses? Who will help get you to your destination?

You're walking down a street in Rio and twist your ankle. Who can help you 
find an English-speaking physician?
Three weeks before your scheduled arrival, a terrorist incident occurs in 
the city to which you are planning to visit. Who will pay if you want to 
cancel your trip?

You are at a beach resort in North Carolina, and you are forced to evacuate 
due to an approaching hurricane. Who will help you evacuate and who will 
reimburse your lost vacation investment?
