Travel safe, travel smart

With many airlines offering discounted travel packages, I read of more and more families travelling together, with kids in tow :-) 

I remember the time I had to make a business trip with my 9-month-old baby.

Besides worrying about his water, food and medicines, I was most concerned about our safety. The best advice our travel agent gave us was to buy international travel insurance.

Although the airlines provided some travel medical insurance, you’ll find that your medical and life insurance policies (unless stated specifically) provide coverage for you while you’re in your home country ONLY.

MultiNational Underwriters (www.mnui.com) provides international coverage (for short-term and long-term trips) for lost baggage, medical treatment and most importantly, emergency evacuations (which includes acts of terrorism, political evacuation, and complications of pregnancy).

Insured by Lloyd’s, the world’s largest and oldest insurance, the Atlas series (for US and non-US citizens) sounds useful especially as the coverage provides assistance with:
a) emergency cash transfers;
b) emergency message relays to family, friends and co-workers;
c) a round-trip (air/ground) ticket for a family member to the hospital where you’re hospitalized and
d) return of minor children - in case you’re hospitalized and your child is left unattended (e.g. you’re in a coma or in the ICU) for more than 3 days, they can arrange for your child to be flown back to the airport terminal of your home country.

While the above scenario sounds scary, as a frequent traveler, I can assure you that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN when you are on travel.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you’re travelling anytime soon, how about getting a free international medical insurance quote? At least you’ll have an idea how much international travel insurance would cost.

Don’t be “penny wise, pound foolish” - with travel insurance, you can then really sit back and relax your family holiday.

Have a happy day!



Travel Health Insurance Coverage

We cannot really deny the fact that we love to travel overseas to see different and beautiful places and feel different cultures. But sometimes it limits us to travel if we bring along our whole family, especially if we have small children traveling along with us or even older members of the family.

We cannot help but think about compromising one’s health while traveling abroad. We cannot avoid some incidents that we could encounter such as minor accidents and illnesses while outside the country and traveling. We know how hard it is to be hospitalized in foreign places where it could usually cost a lot due to the fact that domestic health insurance policies only cover us in our home country.

Fortunately, MultiNational Underwriters at www.mnui.com addresses these limitations. They offer international travel health insurance plans that could cover medical health services and provide benefits for your specific travels abroad.

Travel pitfall to avoid

One of the biggest threats to your next holiday would be the chance of getting sick without adequate insurance cover. The mistake that many travellers make is to assume that their regular medical insurance is in force for their trip, only to find that the policy extends simply to your normal country of residence. To avoid this danger on your next vacation, make sure you are covered!

   



Travel Tip - Don’t forget your travel medical insurance

One of the most important, yet often over-looked aspect of travelling is insurance. The last thing you want to have on your vacation is the hassle of finding a doctor when you are feeling unwell. Or worse, not being able to get medical help.

What many people do not know is that general travel insurance might not be enough to cover for medical needs while travelling. Usually, there will be some kind of provision, but you might be required to pay 50% of the bill, or they restrict you only to hospitals and so on. For your peace of mind, you can get full medical coverage while on vacation for as little as $1 a day! Just take a look at this site where you can do this immediately. Click here for a FREE Quote.

This is not just a travel tip, it is also a tip to help you save money. Medical bills can get really hefty when you are in a foreign country. For example, in the USA, a visitor without proper insurance will struggle to find a medical practice willing to treat them! Or it could be really expensive and payment is expected up-front. This was a personal experience when I travelled and my son had an asthma attack - I had to pay up-front before they would even allow me to register to see the doctor!

Make your vacation an enjoyable one, make sure you have the appropriate insurance.

Don’t forget your travel medical insurance when you go abroad

If you are reading this site it is probably because you want to move overseas. Kudos to you for that! And I am right there with you! Now, before you make that move you will likely be traveling trying to figure out where you want to go and whatnot. If that is the case, do not let a medical disaster bankrupt you and sideline those dreams just because you were not carrying travel medical insurance.

If you have medical insurance through an employer or something then you may think that you are fine. Well, think again! A lot of travelers end up finding out the hard way that their medical insurance only provides coverage in their home country or only pays half of the costs. And considering the current exchange rate with the dollar being so low, that half could be a lot.

 

Why not just get a travel medical insurance policy? Did you know that you can get one for as little as $1 a day? MultiNational Underwriters offers these plans. Get a free quote and see for yourself!
