Why do you really need to consider purchase a travel insurance?
1. Some trips are planned for a year in advance. It gives ample time for a catastrophe to happen.
2. We sometimes tend to plan trips that are expensive. Always determine the portion of the non-refundable expenses that you will lose in any case you need to return home in the middle of your trip.
3. A honeymoon trip can involve an airline trip and a cruise around the Bahamas. It is always good to ask if missing a significant flight could mean missing a cruise ship departure.

Most travel insurance policies will contain a clause in their General Exclusions section regarding ‘willful exposure to danger or peril’ (unless in an attempt to save human life). The onus is on you to exercise reasonable care to prevent illness, injury, or loss or damage to your property. In other words – you should always act as if you are not insured and not tempt fate!

When it comes to winter sports, you do not normally have automatic coverage with your travel insurance policy and will need to pay an additional premium. Most winter sports policies do not cover for anything other than normal skiing and boarding activities. Dangerous activities such as ski jumping, heli-skiing, ski acrobatics, freestyle skiing, ski racing or training, ice hockey, and bobsledding would be excluded unless pre-approved. Exclusions would also apply to offpiste skiing in areas designated as unsafe by the resort management.

Why do travelers need emergency medical evacuation insurance? For example, you are relaxing in a well-deserved vacation break after pleading long and hard to your boss. Suddenly, disaster strikes. You are quickly rushed to another place because the area does not have a medical facility. You might need an ambulance or helicopter to transport you to immediate care. Worse, you might need extraterrestrial aid, such as a private air ambulance or a block of seats on a commercial flight with room enough for medical equipment and an attendant. How is one to pay for all these expenses? So you see, emergency medical evacuation insurances are imperative for any traveler who wants to be on the cautious side.

The ultimate question you ask yourself  after you have finalized all those plans and itineraries, is, “Do I need travel insurance, and whatwill the coverage be?”  Most people do not know is that travel insurance may be bought ntil 24  hours before your departure. Of course, if you have pre-existing medical conditions, you should not have to wait 24 hours before buying a travel insurance. In this case you need to buy your travel insurance as early as when you make a deposit to your trip. Some plans cover pre-existing medical conditions if insurance is bought within 10-15 days from when a traveler paid the amount in full or made a deposit. You ay also buy insurance for coverage against terrorism at departure or destination, including financial default of travel provider. Take note that once you buy your insurance after the 10 to 15 day window you will still have coverage in case a medical emergency occurs.  Those not covered are those that are  incurred from your pre-existing medical conditions, a broad term. It affects not just the parties who are traveling. It also affects immediate family members, say if you have an immediate family member who is ill, you may be able to cancel your trip in case your family member gets worse or passes away unexpectedly.

Any sort or health care service or medical treatment you avail in an area not covered by your health care policy will be sure to be very expensive, but having travel insurance makes sure that you will enjoy the benefits of having something akin to an expanded health care plan when you are in a different place. The same goes for lost luggage, accommodations when you’re stranded, and a host of other travel related woes that without travel insurance, would cost you a pretty penny.

Terrorism has been thrust into every nook and cranny of insurance policies the world over since that fateful day known as 9-11. Many insurance providers are very cautious about such incidents for issuing policies to victims of such dastardly acts can cost a lot of cash. Today, when people mention the word, they simply shrug it off and accept it as part of daily life which has prompted providers to either strongly support or deny coverage of such acts. Most vehicular policies used to have added exclusions to such events but as with the many other types of insurance, they have begun to include them as one of the accepted coverage clauses. Mainly, because of the fact that terrorism knows no boundary and time so anybody can fall victim.
There are however some solid cases or instances wherein they would deny you coverage, say a trip to IRAN or GAZA (if you can ever get a visa or authorization to get in).
