InsureMyTrip News

WARWICK, RI, December 29, 2010—Old Man Winter is up to his old tricks once again, closing airports, shutting down airlines, and leaving thousands of travelers stranded in his wake. As he wreaks his frosty havoc however, remember that travel insurance protection from InsureMyTrip.com can melt even the most chilling winter storms.

“Travel insurance provides undeniable peace of mind protection, but even more importantly, it also provides consumers very real personal and financial protection if things go wrong,” says Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. “During the stormy winter months when travel delays, trip interruptions and cancellations become more of a rule than an exception, it’s most important for travelers to plan ahead and prepare for the worst by purchasing travel insurance for the best possible outcome.”

Trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events so once a storm has been publicly identified, it can only spell trouble for travelers without insurance protection. You need to purchase travel insurance coverage before a storm is predicted and named, not when it’s bearing down on you or your intended destination.  Coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differs by insurance company and plan, and there are many products and options to choose from:

Package Policies: Trip Cancellation Package Policies offer the broadest protection, including coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage and travel delay, as well as medical and emergency evacuation. To receive the most benefit from the travel insurance policy including financial default and terrorism protection as well as coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, the majority of the policies require that you purchase your policy within 10 to 30 days of your first trip payment.

Travel Delay: A delayed flight can strand a person for hours or even cause them to miss a connecting flight to a vacation cruise. 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. In the event of a travel delay lasting 5-12 hours (varies by company and plan), travel delay coverage can provide from $150 to $250 a day up to $1,500 maximum (varies by company and plan) for covered expenses you may incur while stuck in limbo.

Missed Connection: In the event you miss the boat, this benefit covers missed cruise departures resulting from a 3+ hour cancellation or delay of all regularly scheduled airline flights due to inclement weather or any common carrier-caused delay. Maximum benefits up to the covered amount are provided to cover the additional costs of transporting you to the en route cruise, reasonable accommodation and meal expenses, and nonrefundable trip payments for the unused portion of your cruise. Coverage is secondary to any compensation provided by a common carrier.

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.  Most Package Policies will reimburse your trip cost (per/person) plus 50% more to get you home quickly in the event of an emergency.

Cancel For Any Reason: This is an optional benefit that empowers travelers to cancel trips for any reason including sudden unemployment, schedule conflicts, even bad weather, up to two days prior to departure. Cancel For Any Reason policies vary by company and must be purchased within 10-21 days of your first trip payment date.

“With so many products to choose from, buying travel insurance can sometimes be overwhelming, but InsureMyTrip’s Customer Care team can help you to understand and choose the right travel insurance protection for your trip.” Whether you simply need one question answered or want step-by-step help in selecting a travel insurance policy, InsureMyTrip’s knowledgeable force of licensed and professional Customer Care representatives can help.

Travel Insurance from InsureMyTrip.com Protects Winter Sports Enthusiasts

WARWICK, RI, December 6, 2010—From the Alps to the Rockies, ski resorts worldwide are open for another season of fun in the snow. But before you sharpen those edges or wax that board, don’t forget to first protect your winter sporting adventure with travel insurance from InsureMyTrip.com.

The most important part of planning your ski vacation is preparing for the unexpected. Consider what happens if:

• Your equipment is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed en route
• You need rental equipment to replace your own damaged or delayed equipment
• You don’t have overseas medical coverage
• You’re injured and require medical care or medical evacuation services
• Your trip is cancelled or delayed due to inclement weather
• Slope conditions are less than ideal

While travel insurance can’t predict or prevent these things from happening to you, it can help when you most need it.

Package Plan: These plans offer the broadest protection, including coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, baggage and travel delay, as well as medical and emergency evacuation. They’re available for either domestic or international travel.

Travel Medical: Providing emergency medical coverage in the event of injury or illness, travel medical insurance policies are the most popular plans purchased by travelers going abroad. These plans also provide emergency medical evacuation coverage for transport to a proper care facility and can be purchased for travel up to a year in length.

Medical Evacuation: This coverage can be purchased as a stand alone policy or it may be included in comprehensive travel policies. It provides evacuation to the nearest appropriate care facility or, in some cases, to your hospital of choice depending on the company and plan.

Cancel For Any Reason: CFAR is an optional benefit that empowers travelers to cancel trips for any reason of their choosing including poor slope conditions, not enough snow, too icy, or even too cold, up to two days prior to departure. This coverage varies by company and must be purchased within 15 days of your First Trip Payment.

Equipment coverage: Equipment coverage is only included in a Package Plan. Considered part of the Baggage coverage, it protects you if your ski equipment is lost, stolen or damaged. Some plans also include rental reimbursement should your equipment fall victim to these events.

Lastly, ideal snow conditions, the right equipment, and peace of mind protection can boost holiday spirits but drinking while playing puts both you and your insurance coverage at risk. Sports travelers should know that alcohol consumption can invalidate a travel insurance policy if it’s deemed a significant factor in an accident on the slopes, leaving you fully responsible for any associated medical costs.

Whether you simply need one question answered or would like step-by-step assistance selecting a travel insurance policy, InsureMyTrip’s expert Customer Care representatives are waiting for your call Monday through Friday 7 AM to Midnight, Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM ET.

Consumer Tips for Buying the Right Travel Protection from InsureMyTrip.com

WARWICK, RI, October 25, 2010—The 2010 winter travel season is rapidly approaching and consumers everywhere are getting travel-ready by protecting their trips with travel insurance. But just as no two snowflakes are alike, travel protection plans differ too so if choosing the right travel insurance coverage is as overwhelming to you as shopping for the perfect holiday gift, check out these stress-reducing tips from InsureMyTrip.com the original online travel insurance comparison site:

1. Do a Needs Analysis:  If you are going on a trip but don’t really know if travel insurance is necessary, you can make an informed decision simply by conducting a quick needs analysis. Ask yourself: 1) What is the cost of your trip? 2)  How long are you going for? 3)  Where are you going? 4)  What elements of your trip would you like insurance to cover? 5)  What time of year will you be traveling? The answers to these questions will help pave the way for establishing not only if insurance is a prudent option, but more specifically, what type of travel insurance you should consider.
2. Compare, Compare, Compare: To get the best plan for your needs at the right price it’s always best to shop around but who has the time? Featuring hundreds of plans from all the leading U.S. travel insurers, InsureMyTrip.com lets you analyze, rate, compare and buy a wide range of premier travel products at one time, in the same place so you save valuable time and effort.
3. Understand the Details: An educated consumer is a confident consumer but sometimes we all need a little extra help. Before you purchase a travel insurance plan always review the coverage details with a licensed representative to ensure that the policy you’ve chosen provides the protection you want. InsureMyTrip.com is the only travel insurance comparison company with a Customer Care team dedicated seven days a week to helping you understand and choose the travel insurance plan that’s right for you.
4. Buy From a Third Party: In hard times, travel companies including tour operators, cruise lines and airlines also feel the squeeze so it’s always best to purchase your travel insurance protection from a third-party source rather than directly through a travel supplier. Typically, coverage offered by suppliers are either “vouchers” or insurance that provides absolutely no protection or recourse if the travel supplier goes bankrupt or becomes financially insolvent.
5. Bargain Shopping: There is no such thing as ‘discount’ travel insurance. How do you cut corners when you’re looking to protect the safety and security of your financial investment, your loved ones, or your belongings? The best way to ‘save’ money with travel insurance is to purchase the policy that best meets your needs.

To learn more about the protection plans that best suit your travel needs, visit www.insuremytrip.com online or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with a licensed travel insurance professional. Whether you simply need one question answered or want step-by-step assistance selecting a travel insurance policy, InsureMyTrip’s expert Customer Care representatives are available to help seven days a week, 365 days a year.

WARWICK, RI, September 1, 2010—As Hurricane Earl advances on the U.S. East Coast with Tropical Storm Fiona nipping at its heels, the alphabetical progression of the 2010 Hurricane Season continues to forge ahead one orderly letter at a time. But as Shakespeare once said, ‘What’s in a name?’

“When it comes to hurricanes, just about everything,” says Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. “Trip cancellation and interruption protection is based on the occurrence of unforeseen events so once a storm has been publicly identified, it can only spell trouble for travelers without insurance protection. You need to purchase travel insurance coverage before a storm is predicted and named, not when it’s bearing down on you or your intended destination.”

The key is to plan ahead. Will you be traveling through or to a hurricane-prone region? Do you live in a hurricane zone where weather could prevent you from taking a trip to somewhere else? “Travel insurance provides undeniable peace of mind protection,” says Grace, “but more importantly when it comes to tropical storms and hurricanes, it is a fundamental necessity.”

Not all travel insurance policies are created equally. Coverage for weather-related trip cancellations and interruptions differs by insurance company and plan. The covered cancellation reasons can include:

• Cancellation due to Weather: when common carriers such as airlines and cruise lines cease service due to weather
• Cancellation due to Hurricane Warning: cancellation of your trip if your destination is under a NOAA-issued hurricane warning
• Destination made Uninhabitable: if your hotel, resort, or vacation rental is devastated by a storm
• Primary Residence made Uninhabitable: if your own home sustains destructive storm damage
• Cancel For Any Reason– an optional benefit that allows you to choose whether or not to cancel.

WARWICK, RI, April 16, 2010—A giant cloud of ash ejected by an Icelandic volcano is wreaking havoc on international flights around the world and throwing hundreds of thousands of travelers into a state of stranded chaos.  For many though, travel insurance has eased the pain of cancelled flights, delayed travel, and trips interrupted.

“The good news is that travelers who purchased insurance on or before April 13th when this situation first became a public phenomenon, have important coverage benefits available to them,” explains Jim Grace President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. “Despite the bizarre nature of this event, travel insurance can and does provide very real protection for a situation that no one could have predicted.”

Trip Cancellation Package Policies, the most comprehensive type of travel insurance plans, offer the greatest benefits for travelers forced to cancel their trips prior to departure as well as those whose travels have been significantly interrupted by this event. Additionally, these policies include coverage for the travel delays that are heavily impacting travelers everywhere and provide reimbursement for hotel accommodations, meals, and transportation needs due to cancelled flights caused by the volcanic event. “Coverage varies by company and plan however,” adds Grace, “so for best results, know the details of your policy and/or call us for more information.”

“Though it’s not yet clear how long these issues will continue to impact travel, there are options for those with trips commencing in the near future as well.” Available from most insurance providers, “Cancel For Any Reason” is an optional benefit that empowers travelers to cancel trips for any reason of their choosing up to two days prior to departure. “Cancel For Any Reason” policies vary by company and not all provide coverage for this specific event; be sure to confirm this event is covered and purchase your plan within 15 days of your initial trip deposit.

WARWICK, RI, April 14, 2010—Charitable relief and assistance groups are often among the first to respond when disaster strikes a community. From hurricanes like Katrina to earthquakes such as the ones in Haiti and Chile earlier this year, to the March floods in New England, the immediate reaction and aid provided by organized church and mission relief workers is critical, and so is protecting these first responders with group travel insurance from InsureMyTrip.com.

“Protecting the organized groups of people dedicated to helping communities in the aftermath of a devastating event or other crisis situation is essential,” explains Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. “Travel insurance can protect a group’s well being with health and medical evacuation coverage and also protect your financial investment from unforeseen cancellations caused by weather, a family emergency, travel supplier default, and more.”

Group coverage is a cost effective choice of protection as groups of ten or more traveling to the same destination are eligible for group pricing. Additionally, group insurance typically provides broader protection and greater flexibility than multiple individual policies. For these reasons especially, most groups choose either a Group Travel Medical Policy or a Group Package Policy for insurance coverage.

Group Travel Medical Policies –Health insurance may not cover your group members in another country and some offer only partial coverage that could leave you liable for a big portion of the bill. Frequently our mission and church groups select Travel Medical Plans, which in addition to comprehensive medical coverage also provide emergency transportation to adequate medical facilities, or even back home.

Group Package Policies – If your group has a financial investment at risk, you might consider a Package Plan. All offer trip cancellation coverage, plus some amount of baggage, medical, dental, emergency evacuation, 24-hour traveler assistance, baggage delay, travel delay, and accidental death coverage. Some policies also have options for collision/damage coverage for rented cars and flight insurance, as well as Cancel For Any Reason riders. These plans can also be used for a variety of trip types, including cruises, group tours, house rentals, and many more.

Powered by our InsureMyGroup engine, InsureMyTrip.com has been helping groups find the right travel insurance since 2002. Our innovative travel insurance engine lets you price and compare group plans in real time, at your convenience.
