WHY IS TRAVEL INSURANCE IMPORTANT

There is nothing worse than sending a client off on an amazing holiday only to have them call you about lost luggage or worse they're stuck at an airport. It’s an unfortunate mishap that you can’t control but you can advise travellers to take precautions.

It's very important that you discuss travel insurance at the very beginning when you start planning your trip. By taking out Travel Insurance, you are essentially covering yourself against travel risks such as lost or stolen luggage, flight cancellation cover, flight delays, misconnections, or even unforeseen circumstances, where you may need to cancel a trip. A medical emergency whilst on a holiday could deplete your holiday budget. By having the cover, all of this stress can be eliminated.

Depending on what sort of activities you will be involved in whilst on your holiday, your cover can vary from person to person. You could purchase a single trip insurance or a multi-trip for the year. It all depends on how often you travel. In most cases, it may be cheaper to purchase an annual policy if you travel often.
