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

March 11th, 2009

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.

Traveling Fearless with International medical Insurance

People nowadays are relatively well-educated about the importance of health, life, and travel insurance. They realize that insurance is very useful to protect them when certain bad things happen. The protection usually comes in the form of money to cover all the harmful things. However, not many people understand that most of this insurance does not cover international travel insurance.

This situation is very miserable. Every year lots of travelers are having a trip without international travel medical/health protection. They do not recognize that their domestic insurance will not cover any medical emergency outside their home country.

Our faltering economy is having far-reaching effects on many people. One such effect is on the health insurance coverage of people (and their families) who have lost their jobs. These people are either ending up uninsured, or are forced to pay for expensive COBRA coverage.

There is an affordable option, however. MultiNational Underwriters has a short-term medical plan called Amigo. This is an alternative to COBRA that is affordable and will help keep individuals and their families covered.

Expect the Unexpected

When you’ve worked for a company that requires you and your team of engineers to travel around the world as much as my mine did, you know you need to look out for your people.  This was what happened when I was put in charge of all travel arrangements for my boss, the engineers and also the sales associates in the Spanish Company I had worked for. Affordable international coverage, costing as little as $1 a day per person, was definitely the best thing I learned about and took care of whenever we traveled.

We were in Vietnam sometime in 1995 and there were riots because a civil war had started.  Even though we were told that we were safe in the hotel, there was one afternoon in which we were hurriedly evacuated from the hotel due to more unrest in the country.  In the midst of all the turmoil I came down with a high fever and because of my travel insurance and their co-ordination with the hospital there, I was evacuated from Vietnam by helicopter, paid by the insurance company.  Whether you are traveling for vacation or business, never leave home without Travel Health Insurance from www.mnui.com, you can never be too sure about tomorrow and you need to be prepared.
