FROM INSUREMYTRIP.ca: BUYING TRIP CANCELLATION COVERAGE JUST GOT EASIER

Nov 27th, 2007

WARWICK, RI November 27, 2007 – Recent changes made by many of the leading Canadian travel insurers have made securing trip cancellation coverage much easier. The long standing guidelines which mandated buying the insurance coverage within a requisite ‘purchase window’, typically 48 to 72 hours from your initial trip deposit, have now been removed by many insurance carriers allowing consumers to purchase right up to the day before departure.

“Travel insurance is more than a luxury, it’s a necessity,” says James Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.ca, Canada’s premiere on-line travel insurance provider. “Protecting yourself, your trip, and your investment should be easy. This action demonstrates the ability of the travel insurance providers to meet the buying needs of the travelling Canadian consumer.”

Trip Cancellation policies, both package and stand alone, are becoming more and more popular in the Canadian marketplace. “Previously,” explains James, “travellers interested in Trip Cancellation insurance were required to purchase the policy within 48 to 72 hours of making their first trip payment. But if you missed the ‘purchase window’, you also missed the opportunity to buy the coverage. Fortunately, that is no longer the case.”

The new requirements, which vary by company, allow consumers to purchase up to the day before departure provided that:

  • the traveller is medically fit and able to travel at the time of purchase
  • the traveller is unaware of any reason that they, an immediate family member, a travel companion, or a travel companion’s immediate family member would need to seek medical attention
  • the traveller confirms that they have no knowledge of any event or circumstance that would prevent their travel as scheduled.

Protecting your travels is especially easy with help from InsureMyTrip.ca. InsureMyTrip.ca allows consumers to review, rate, compare, analyze and purchase travel insurance from the leading Canadian travel insurance companies in a completely secure environment. To learn more about Trip Cancellation Package Policies and other protection plans, visit www.insuremytrip.ca on-line, or call (800) 551-1337 to speak with one of InsureMyTrip’s expert travel insurance professionals.

TRAVEL INSURANCE OFFERS PROTECTION AGAINST EARTH, WIND AND FIRE DISASTERS

Nov 2nd, 2007

WARWICK, RI, November 2, 2007 – Mother Nature can be a powerful force to reckon with as witnessed by recent wildfires in California, Hurricane Noel in the Caribbean and Bahamas, and the earthquake that rocked San Francisco a few days ago. While predicting the occurrence of such disasters is not always possible, you can prepare for the worst with some advance planning and travel insurance protection that best meets your needs.

“Travel insurance provides undeniable peace of mind protection, but more importantly, it also provides consumers very real personal and financial protection if things go wrong,” says Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “The key is to plan ahead as trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events. This means you need to purchase travel insurance coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is named, or other natural disasters occur that might affect your home or a part of your itinerary.”

Travelers also need to know that not all policies are created equally. “Coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differs by insurance company and plan,” explains Evans. The covered cancellation reasons can include:

  1. Common carrier – when your airline or cruise line stops travel to a particular destination due to weather
  2. Destination made uninhabitable – if your hotel or vacation rental is devastated by a naturally occurring event
  3. Your own home sustains storm damage and is made uninhabitable
  4. “Cancel for Any Reason” – up to 75% of your trip cost can be recovered.

Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies. To be eligible for “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage, those insurance companies require that you purchase your policy within 15 days of your initial trip deposit.

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 a licensed travel insurance professional.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE FROM INSUREMYTRIP.COM

Oct 22nd, 2007

WARWICK, RI, October 22, 2007—Travel today is fraught with troubles such as delayed or canceled flights, lost or misdirected luggage, even personal issues that impact one’s ability to travel.  For these reasons, more travelers than ever are also buying travel insurance to protect themselves, their trips, and their financial investments.

“It only takes one bad travel experience for a person to understand that trip insurance is not a luxury, it’s a necessity,” explains Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “So it’s extremely important to know the facts and particulars of travel insurance such as when you need to purchase, what is covered, and how to select the best plan for your travel needs.”

Unforeseen Events: Travel insurance, like all insurance, is predicated on the occurrence of unforeseen events. Therefore, you need to purchase travel insurance before your trip for maximum coverage and peace of mind protection against the unexpected.

Tour Operator Cancels: Travel insurance does not provide coverage if a tour operator cancels due to a lack of participants.  However, some insurance companies do offer a Cancel For Any Reason policy that allows you to cancel your trip for any reason you choose, up to two days prior to your departure.

Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Most policies do have a pre-existing condition exclusion. While the definition of a Pre-Existing Medical Condition varies from company to company, generally, the definition of a pre-existing medical condition  is any injury, disease or illness to you, a traveling companion, family member, or business partner which occurs prior to and including the effective date of your insurance. If you do have a pre-existing condition, most policies offer a waiver that can be obtained by purchasing trip insurance within 7-21 days of making your first trip payment.

Baggage Delayed For Less Than 24 Hours: Many travel insurance policies do reimburse for baggage delayed less than 24 hours, many even stipulate a minimum delay of 12 hours.  The coverage reimburses you for necessity items purchased in the event that your baggage is delayed or misdirected. Most policies however, do not cover for delayed baggage on return flights.

Death/Illness of a Pet: These events are covered by a Cancel For Any Reason policy which provides up to 75% reimbursement of your non-refundable costs.

Sports Injuries: Most Travel Medical Policies do cover sports injuries when an ‘Adventure Sports’ rider is added to the policy.  Additionally, coverage can also be secured as an option with select Trip Cancellation Policies.

Pregnancy and Childbirth: Most policies cover unforeseen complications of pregnancy. Normal childbirth is not unforeseen and therefore not covered.

Psychological Illness or Self-Inflicted Injuries: Some policies will cover for trip cancellation/trip interruption for mental, nervous or psychological disorders requiring inpatient hospitalization of three days or more.

Spouse Files for Divorce Prior to Trip: Cancel For Any Reason policies may again be the policy of choice for this situation.  Additionally, one insurance company offers coverage for trip cancellation if you or your traveling companion become legally separated or divorced after insurance has been purchased and prior to your departure date, provided the insurance was purchased within 14 days of the initial trip deposit or payment.

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 a licensed travel insurance professional.

PLAN AHEAD AND KNOCK THE WIND OUT OF HURRICANE SEASON TRAVELS ADVISES INSUREMYTRIP®.COM

Aug 16th, 2007

Warwick, RI, August 16, 2007— As evidenced by the recent developments of Hurricanes Flossie and Dean and Tropical Storm Erin, August kicks-off the most active period of Hurricane Season 2007. In fact, expert predictions for a busier than average season, now also include forecasts for as many as sixteen tropical storms with nine reaching hurricane strength.

“With several more weeks of summer still to enjoy and the rapidly approaching fall travel season, travel insurance is the best protection for tropical vacations in hurricane prone areas,” advises Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “The key is to plan ahead as trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events.  This means you need to purchase coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is named and possibly affects a part of your itinerary.”

Travelers also need to know that not all policies are created equally.  “Coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differs by company and plan,” explains Evans. The coverage spectrum includes:

  1. Common carrier (airline, cruise line) stops travel to a particular destination due to weather
  2. Destination made uninhabitable – if your hotel or vacation resort is devastated by a storm
  3. Your own home sustains storm damage and is made uninhabitable
  4. Cancel for Any Reason – 75% of your trip cost can be recovered.

Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies. To be eligible for financial default protection and coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, the majority of the policies require that you purchase your policy within 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit.

Wherever and whenever you are traveling, travel insurance is a prudent investment that provides peace-of-mind protection.  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 a licensed travel insurance professional.

INSUREMYTRIP®.COM’S TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE

Jul 9th, 2007

WARWICK, RI, July 9, 2007—It’s no secret that travel today is more challenging than ever. In fact, as events such as bad weather, overbooked flights, and unexpected schedule changes increase, so too do the odds that your own travels will be impacted in some fashion.  The solution: protect your trips with travel insurance.

“Travel insurance covers many things that are not covered by credit cards, homeowner policies, and healthcare plans,” explains Peter Evans, executive vice president of InsureMyTrip.com.  “It’s important for consumers to know from the start what, if any, coverage they may already have, and what they most want to protect such as their financial investment, their health, or their itinerary.”

“At InsureMyTrip.com, we understand that for many people travel insurance is a complicated thing,” continues Evans. “So we’ve broken it down into ten clear-cut reasons consumers can’t afford not to have travel insurance protection:

(10) Lost, Stolen, Damaged or Delayed Baggage:  current data estimates that 30 million bags are mishandled each year as a result of airport congestion, reduced flight availability, and mounting baggage volumes.

(9) Travel Delays/Missed Connections: these events occur often and can wreak havoc on your itinerary not to mention your wallet for hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation caused by weather-related delays and cancellations.

(8) Trip Interruption:  emergencies big and small have a way of happening when you least expect them to.  But the cost of cutting your trip short to take care of the problem can create a crisis of its own.

(7) Non-Traveling Family Members:  if a loved one needs your care and attention, this can also cause you to cancel your trip; another important reason to have travel insurance.

(6) Illness or Injury: getting sick or injured before you leave can cause you to abandon your trip plans. Getting sick after you’ve left, or if you’re traveling abroad, can really hurt too. Some national healthcare programs provide limited, or in certain cases, no coverage at all once you travel outside the U.S.

(5) Pre-existing Medical Conditions: if you, a traveling companion, family member, or business partner have a pre-existing medical condition (injury, disease or illness), trip insurance is a must. But plan ahead as the majority of travel insurance policies require that you purchase your policy within 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit to be eligible for pre-existing medical conditions coverage, as well as financial default protection, and terrorism.

(4) Medical Evacuation: finding yourself hospitalized in a foreign country may raise a host of concerns as well as fees if you require transport to a more appropriate medical facility or one of your own choosing.

(3) Trip Cost Protection:  $5,000 seemed a small price to pay for a fun-filled family vacation until you had to cancel the trip.  Travel insurance protects your investment.

(2) Hurricanes & Severe Weather:  Mother Nature can be a powerful force to reckon with especially if you are traveling to earthquake, hurricane, or flood prone areas. Travel insurance coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions is a calming force against the storm.

(1) Unforeseen Events: as the popular adage Murphy’s Law states: “things will go wrong in any given situation if you give them a chance”. Travel insurance helps keep Murphy at bay by protecting against the unexpected and provides significant peace of mind as well.

HURRICANE SEASON 2007: INSUREMYTRIP.COM PREDICTS ‘ABOVE NORMAL’ PEACE OF MIND FOR INSURED TRAVELERS

May 29th, 2007

Warwick, RI, May 29, 2007— Last month’s appearance by Tropical Storm Andrea marked an unanticipated and early beginning to Hurricane Season 2007 –-a 6-month period that officially begins June 1. Not so surprising however, are recent predictions by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), for a season of ‘above normal hurricane activity.’  While this stormy forecast may very well affect your summer vacation plans, protecting your trips with travel insurance can help.

“Not all policies are created equally,” explains Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com.  “Coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differs by company and plan.”  The coverage spectrum includes:

  • Common carrier (airline, cruise line) stops travel to a particular destination due to weather
  • Destination made uninhabitable – if your hotel or vacation resort is devastated by a storm
  • Your own home sustains storm damage and is made uninhabitable
  • Cancel for Any Reason – 75% of your trip cost can be recovered.

“Advance planning is key as trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events,” states Evans. “You need to purchase coverage before a tropical storm or hurricane is identified as possibly affecting a part of your itinerary.”

Another very important reason to plan ahead is to maximize the complete complement of benefits offered by trip cancellation policies. To be eligible for financial default protection and coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, the majority of the policies require that you purchase your policy within 7 to 21 days of your initial trip deposit.

Where ever and whenever you are traveling, travel insurance is a prudent investment that provides peace-of-mind protection.  Remember to buy from InsureMyTrip.com so you can accurately identify the correct product for your particular travel needs.  InsureMyTrip’s comparison tools and professional staff can help you with products from the entire travel insurance marketplace.

TRAVEL INSURANCE HELPS TRAVELERS SOAR ABOVE RISING AIRLINE HASSLES

Apr 10th, 2007

InsureMyTrip.com Advises: Don’t fly Without It

WARWICK, RI April 10, 2007—According to the Wichita State 2007 Airline Quality Rating report, “more passengers found themselves bumped, their flights delayed, or their bags lost last year than in 2005.”  Furthermore, the future of airline travel also looks turbulent.  As an increasing number of planes take to the skies, experts predict even greater stress for an already challenged air traffic control system.  Translation: more headaches for travelers.

Fortunately, there is a remedy for many of the aches and pains caused so often by travel today. “Though travel insurance can’t prevent such events from happening, it can help ease your travel woes and get your journey back on track,” stated Peter Evans, Executive Vice President of InsureMyTrip.com. “Simply put, travel insurance is a traveler’s best defense against trip delays, cancellations, and baggage issues that are now more likely than ever to happen to you.”

Trip Cancellation Package Policies offer the broadest protection and can be used for cruises, tours, flights, and vacation rentals. A typical policy includes coverage for:

  • trip cancellation
  • trip interruption
  • travel delay
  • medical and emergency evacuation

“With concerns about travel delays so much at the forefront of travelers’ minds, 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,” explains Evans.

Most travel insurance Package Policies also provide coverage for:

  • lost or stolen baggage
  • repair of damaged items
  • the purchase of essential items in the event of a baggage delay
  • additional accommodations and travel expenses in the event of lengthy delays

“Consumers should know that plans require specific documentation to file a claim including receipts.”

If the increasingly complex and challenging world of travel is complicating your life, then let travel insurance provide you security, protection, 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.
