InsureMyTrip News

WARWICK, RI, December 20, 2006—With the hustle and bustle of the holidays nearly over, many are now looking forward to the post-season wind down and a relaxing cruise. In fact, record numbers of cruises are booked each year during January through March; earning this peak, three-month period the industry nickname of ‘Wave Season.’  But before you make your great escape aboard a sleek, white ocean liner, consider these important facts about travel insurance.

“Travel insurance can protect a traveler’s health and well-being, and save you considerable expense should anything go wrong before or during your cruise,” explains Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “The key is to plan ahead and protect your vacation before it even begins.”
Truly a traveler’s best defense against the unexpected, travel insurance provides coverage for a wide-range of travel risks including:

• Trip cancellation (if you have to cancel)
  Trip interruption (if your travels are brought to an unexpected end while on your trip)
  Medical coverage (if you need emergency medical coverage or an augmentation of your current health benefits)
  Medical evacuation protection (air ambulance service)

“Lastly and perhaps most importantly, travel insurance consumers should know their coverage options,” says Evans. “Typically, if you purchase travel insurance directly through a travel supplier such as a cruise line, airline, or tour operator, you cannot protect yourself should that the travel supplier go bankrupt or become financially insolvent. Many of these policies do not extend to cover the company from which you purchased your covered trip for bankruptcy. Therefore, it is most prudent to purchase your travel insurance protection from a third-party source.”

“Though we hope never to use or need it, travel insurance can provide a tremendous amount of security and peace of mind for a small fraction of the cost of your trip.” InsureMyTrip.com allows consumers to review, rate, compare, analyze and purchase travel insurance from all the leading U.S. travel insurance companies in a completely secure environment. To learn more about the protection plans that best suit your travel needs, visit InsureMyTrip.com online or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with one of our expert travel insurance professionals.

WARWICK, RI, October 30, 2006 –“There’s no place like home for the holidays,” states the ever- popular carol of old. Traditionally each year at this time, thousands of travelers pack up their families and head for the best destination of all: the holiday dinner table.

“The challenge can be getting there,” comments Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “According to the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA), nearly half of all U.S. family travel consists of visits to relatives and friends.  This means that during the holiday season especially, the overall number of travelers rises significantly, and the potential for en route challenges to occur also increases.  At this time of year, it is most important to be an informed travel consumer and plan ahead with travel insurance.”

Travel insurance works to protect families (and your financial investment) while traveling, in the event that it is delayed, interrupted, or canceled, and can help you prepare for the unexpected. “Sometimes the thrill of seeing our loved ones for the holidays is suddenly sidelined by a case of the flu or other serious ailments,” explains Evans. “In fact, unforeseen illnesses and medical emergencies are the number one reason many family trips are canceled.” That’s why a variety of benefits, designed to address the needs of traveling families, are included on most travel insurance plans such as:

• Package Policies
• Travel Medical Policies
• Medical Evacuation Policies
• Flight Accident Policies

Trip cancellation package policies offer the broadest protection with coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage, travel delay, and medical and emergency medical evacuation. Travel delay is always at the forefront of travelers minds during this period, and these package policies provide reimbursement for hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation caused by weather-related delays and cancellations.

So this holiday season, give the whole family a gift and visit www.insuremytrip.com for the family friendly coverage that best suits your travel needs, or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with one of InsureMyTrip’s expert travel insurance professionals.

WARWICK, RI, October 16, 2006—Mother Nature can be a powerful force to reckon with as witnessed yesterday in Hawaii where a 6.6 magnitude earthquake blocked a major highway, damaged several hotels, and stranded thousands of visiting tourists.  This leaves many travelers today wondering how they can prepare for the unpredictable.  The answer: plan ahead and protect your trips with travel insurance.

“No matter where you travel or when you travel,  its is a prudent investment to purchase travel insurance  for peace-of-mind protection against numerous travel-related risks,” explains Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com.  Trip Cancellation insurance is the best way to protect your travel investment against unforeseen events such as earthquakes and other natural disasters. Policies provide coverage for:

• total cessation of travel
• travel delay due to airport closures and suspended airline operations
• destinations made uninhabitable

Additionally, Trip Cancellation Package Policies also provide coverage for trip interruption, baggage, medical and medical evacuation.

After a natural disaster occurs, significant efforts are focused on the restoration of the transportation infrastructure which means that your trip destination can usually be accessed soon after a natural catastrophic event. But what if the resort or rental property you’re visiting has sustained such significant damage that it is uninhabitable? Last year’s onslaught of natural disasters prompted a swift reaction from several travel insurers  to include coverage for your destination being made uninhabitable. This important coverage is a necessity when you are traveling to earthquake, hurricane, and flood prone areas, and is not shared by all carriers.

Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies,” states Evans.  Most companies require that you purchase your travel insurance within 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit to have the added benefits of financial default protection, pre-existing medical conditions, and in some cases terrorism coverage.”

For travelers who simply want the freedom to choose whether or not to travel, or believe they may need to cancel their travels for reasons not otherwise covered, there is another option as well.     The “Cancel For Any Reason” option, offered by several InsureMyTrip travel insurers, covers 75% of the non-refundable trip cost. “So, whether you have concerns for your personal safety, a last-minute conflict, or merely a lack of interest, this special option means that today’s travelers are free to cancel their impending travels for any reason at all.”

WARWICK, RI, August 16 2006–In recent years, our global community has regrettably experienced numerous terrorist attacks and security threats such as last week’s event in Britain. Besides the obvious impacts of such violent occurrences, world events like these significantly influence the way we travel today.  Uncertainty and the “unknown” of what could happen to disrupt our journeys, has growing numbers of travelers securing travel insurance to protect themselves and their families.

“Purchasing travel insurance has become second nature to many seasoned travelers; but now even occasional trekkers are recognizing its value and benefits,” observes Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “Most recently, last week’s terrorist threat had many insured travelers wondering if they could cancel impending trips to impacted regions and be compensated for the loss of their financial investment,” continues Evans.

Trip Cancellation Package Policies are the most commonly purchased insurance plans because they offer the broadest protection in these circumstances including coverage for trip delays, interruption and cancellation. In general, most of these policies provide a terrorism benefit which enables you to cancel your trip if a terrorist incident occurs in your departure or destination city within 30 days of your scheduled departure. “In this particular case, there was no terrorist incident as the plot had been thwarted by British authorities.”

For travelers who want the freedom to choose whether or not to travel, or believe they may need to cancel their travels for reasons not otherwise covered, there is another option.  InsureMyTrip.com providers M.H. Ross and TravelSafe, both offer a “Cancel for Any Reason “ provisional option. “Cancel For Any Reason” covers 75% of the non-refundable trip cost. “So, whether you have concerns for your personal safety, a last-minute conflict, or simply a lack of interest, this special option means that today’s travelers are free to cancel their impending travels for any reason at all.”

“Now more than ever, travel insurance can provide invaluable security and incredible peace of mind,” says Evans. “Bottom line: make sure you thoroughly understand the benefits and details of a policy before you make the purchase.” To learn more about the protection plans that best suit your travel needs, visit InsureMyTrip.com on-line or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with one of InsureMyTrip’s expert travel insurance professionals.

Warwick, RI, August 10, 2006— A successful effort by British authorities to thwart a terrorist plot originating from a major international aviation hub today, has significantly impacted travelers worldwide.  As several leading airlines post canceled and delayed flights, many stranded passengers want to know “does my travel insurance cover this?”.

“If you have travel insurance check the terms and conditions of your policy or contact your insurance provider immediately,” says Jim Grace,  President of InsureMyTrip.com. They can thoroughly explain your benefits and provide important travel assistance services such as flight re-booking, contacting home, etc. If you purchased your policy from InsureMyTrip.com, you can also contact us directly at www.insuremytrip.com, to review and confirm your policy details.

We are pleased to report that most major travel insurance providers are currently providing benefits specific to travel delays resulting from today’s events including, unexpected expenses for overnight hotel accommodations, meals, phone calls, and transportation.

“Today’s events also have many travelers concerned for the security of future trips,” continues Grace, “particularly in light of the raised national threat levels; Red for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the U.S., and Orange for all commercial aviation operating in or destined for the U.S.  It is important to know that this  is not a covered event for trip cancellation or interruption, only travel delay  is covered at this time.“

For travelers who want the freedom to choose to travel, or believe they may need to cancel their travels for reasons not otherwise covered, two insurance companies, M.H.Ross and TravelSafe offer a “Cancel For Any Reason” provisional option. “Cancel For Any Reason” covers 75% of the non-refundable trip cost.

Travel Insurance Takes The Sting Out of Problematic Weather and Airline Crowding

Warwick, RI, July 25, 2006— With a  volatile thunderstorm season causing the highest level of flight delays in years, and packed-to-capacity planes driving up average wait times at airport security check points, the term “lazy days of summer” has taken on an entirely new meaning.  But don’t panic.  If “on time” arrival is becoming a part of your past, remember, comprehensive travel insurance can protect your future journeys against these types of risks.

“Purchasing travel insurance has become second nature to many seasoned travelers; but now even occasional trekkers are recognizing its value and benefits,” observes Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com.  “Whether you’re going on a family sightseeing vacation or a routine business trip, travel insurance can protect against unforeseen events that may affect your journey.”

“Trip Cancellation Package Policies offer the broadest protection in these circumstances — including coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage, travel delay, and medical and emergency evacuation — and can be used for cruises, tours, flights, and vacation rentals.  With concerns about travel delays so much at the forefront of travelers minds today, it’s also important to know that these package policies provide reimbursement for hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation caused by weather-related delays and cancellations,” Evans explains.

Protect Planned Trips Now with Travel Insurance

Warwick, RI, May 10, 2006— Experts from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center predict  that Hurricane Season 2006 –a 6-month period that begins June 1–will be another very active one.  But don’t let the weather threaten your upcoming vacation plans.  With a little advance planning and preparation, your travels can be worry-free.

“No matter where you travel to or when,  travel insurance is a prudent investment that provides peace-of-mind protection against numerous travel-related risks,” explains Peter J. Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com.  Trip Cancellation insurance is the best way to protect your travel investment against unforeseen events such as hurricanes and other natural disasters and the problems they can cause including:

• total cessation of travel
• travel delay due to airport closures and suspended airline operations
• destinations made uninhabitable

Additionally, Trip Cancellation Package Policies also provide coverage for trip interruption, baggage, medical and medical evacuation.

Advance planning is key as trip cancellation protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events. “That means, once a tropical storm or hurricane is identified in your destination area, you will not be able to secure coverage for trip cancellation and travel delay due to that particular storm.  Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies,” states Evans.  The majority of these policies provide a grace period from 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit, that when purchased in this time frame, include financial default protection and pre-existing medical conditions.”
