7 Tips for Buying Travel Insurance

I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster.

There are many people though that question the need for travel insurance and are often quite confused about it. Here are a few tips that may help clear the air a little:

• Most countries today have made it mandatory for tourists to hold adequate travel insurance as part of their visitor requirements. But even in places where the compulsion isn’t there, travel insurance is a wise choice as it helps provide a vital safety net for emergencies overseas.
• In some instances, insurance companies require you to be screened for certain medical conditions and pre-existing ailments. The pre-trip medicals are usually carried out a fortnight in advance to ensure the validity of the tests, but generally not before that time period.
• Claims settlement is usually dependent on an agreement between you and and the insurance provider. In case of a medical emergency, you should be able to get treatment immediately. Insurers rarely need prior approvals in such cases. However it is always best to confirm with them before purchasing.

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call on (07) 3243 0000 or email me at [email protected].
