Where, When and How to Avoid Buying the Wrong Travel Insurance
St Pete Beach, Fl, Aug 10 2004 -- If an emergency occurs during your vacation it could be a major disaster if you do not have the right travel insurance.
(PRWEB) August 12, 2004 -- If an emergency occurs during your vacation it could be a major disaster if you do not have the right travel insurance. This is very important as most travel websites and tour/cruise operators either automatically include insurance or may hard sell you their own policy. This can be much more expensive and may include large administration" charges. If you are forced to take insurance, print out your policy EOB (evidence of benefits) page and compare it to the market leading policies using comparison tools such as http://www.quotetravelinsurance.com. At least youll know if youre missing out on vital coverage!
Most insurers offer full coverage for pre-existing medical conditions if you buy their policy within 10-21 days from making your trip deposit payment. If its more than 21 days since your deposit, coverage is provided for claims not connected to existing medical conditions. Most insurers also only look back 3-6 months to determine pre-existing medical conditions. You could purchase anytime up to the day you are traveling, although if you leave it this late beware coverage does not start until midnight on the day of purchase. Your policy will cost the same whether you make the purchase a day or a year before you travel so its always better to purchase sooner rather than later as you get extra cancellation coverage without extra charge.
Every identical policy costs the same regardless of who sells it. However, some tour companies may add an administration" charge. You can get excellent coverage even from the cheaper policies because insurance companies aim their products at certain types of traveler, for example, when policy A is cheapest for 40 year old travelers, it may be expensive if the travelers are over 70. The following gives estimates as to the percentages one may expect:
| | - Travelers under 40 -- expect to pay around 4-7% of your total trip cost.
- Under 50 -- around 5%.
- Under 70 - 6 -10%.
- Over 70 -- 9-12%.
