  1. Tips for Travel Insurance

  2. Travel insurance is an important part of traveling. When traveling for business, it becomes, even more, important to ensure all insurance needs are in place before leaving, whether the destination is a prominent city or an unstable region. Following tips will help to ensure everything needed is covered.

  3. 1. Security Program Whether people like to admit it or not, bad things can happen when traveling overseas, especially if it is an unstable region. Find out before traveling whether or not the corporation or business has a security program for overseas, if that is where the travel will be occurring. If it does not, it may not be a bad idea to start a program. Many travel insurance policies will help to set these up to ensure when something goes wrong there is a protocol in place as to who needs to be contacted and what needs to be done in each of the possible circumstances. There should be people in place to contact either at the place of employment or the insurance agency.

  4. 2. Existing Health Insurance Check with existing health insurance coverage to see if additional insurance needs to be acquired before traveling. The policy needs to include international incidents to be effective while traveling. Most companies that send employees overseas will ensure the policies cover injuries, accidents, and other incidents that occur. However, if the insurance does not, it will be prudent to take out a supplemental policy.

  5. 3. Injuries When traveling an important thing to consider is what will happen if an injury occurs that will require special accommodations for the return trip. This will include medical transports to get back to the United States (if overseas) in the event of serious injury and unconsciousness. Travel insurance can cover special accommodations necessary to cover medical transports from various locations to a local hospital.

  6. 4. Kidnappings & Robberies Traveling overseas can be extremely dangerous. There are some countries where travelers will be kidnapped and held for ransom especially if it can be ascertained the person is affluent or from an affluent company. Robberies can also become a problem in certain countries where criminals know travelers are carrying large amounts of money.

  7. 5. Corporate Travel Many corporations will offer corporate travel expense accounts to help their employees to travel in greater comfort. Before traveling employees should know exactly what benefits their corporate's credit cards entail and how those benefits can help them when traveling.

  8. 6. Additional Insurance Employees should consider taking out their travel insurance in addition to whatever insurance their companies are offering. Supplemental insurance is not overly expensive, and it is a good thing to have a back up to the corporate's travel insurance. Plans can start under $100 for travelers.
