CAN BE DIFFICULT, THESE ANSWERS
SHOULD HELP...
IF YOU ARE STILL IN DOUBT, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK US A QUESTION.
Why do I need travel insurance?
No one thinks twice before getting health or car insurance. Travel insurance is just as important since it gives you the peace of mind you need by covering your travel expenses in case your trip is cancelled, or cut short for a legitimate reason, all within the policy limits previously agreed upon.. With added benefits, your baggage can also be protected as well as medical and dental fees.
What is included under non-refundable costs?
Everything has limits, and so does travel insurance. There are some costs that cannot be refunded even if the reasons of the flight cancellation are valid and acceptable according to your policy. For example, the payments for some cruises, tours and airline tickets cannot always be returned. Please check with your travel agent to see which payments are non-refundable in your chosen policy because cancellation policies are not all the same.
What does travel insurance cover?
Travel insurance can cover your expenses due to medical and nonmedical emergencies before you travel or even during, such as: •Flight Cancellation •Trip Cancellation •Trip Interruption •Medical Emergency- Dental Coverage
