Planning a holiday is a delight. It might be easy to sing "All my bags are packed, and I am ready to go!" But real life travel is more than that. In the process of planning a holiday, we often get caught up in the excitement of getting away from our routine lives, and enjoying quality time with our families. Frankly, I often think that a vacation is not really as calm and peaceful as one makes it out to be. Just as we need to check if our passports are in order, we also need to avail of a good travel insurance policy while traveling. Insurance makes you feel secure that there is something to fall back on in case of dire need.

Maybe the best time to inquire about travel insurance is at the time of booking tickets itself. Ask him/her whether the travel company will be able to organize it for you. It is essential that each member of the family has a travel insurance policy before setting out on that exciting journey. They say that a friend in need is a friend indeed. By that yardstick, your travel insurance policy is certainly a friend. When you are in a foreign land and fall ill, it does become very expensive to avail of medical treatment. However, if you have insurance coverage things will become a lot cheaper as the travel insurance company will be taking care of the rising costs. Whatever the objective of your travel, you can get travel insurance for it.

Travel insurance is all around us. We see it at airports and at travel agents. But since travel is usually for short periods of time, I have found that very few people actually opt for travel insurance. I guess it has to do with the general feeling of invincibility that is endemic to most humans.

Different travel insurance policies cover different eventualities. Want to know what things come under the purview of a travel insurance policy? Well, this could include things like cancellation of the tour for no fault of yours, delayed departure, and having to opt for some other mode of transport. Other eventualities covered by such policies include loss of important documents while in transit, death due to accidents or fatal injuries, and even damages incurred on a rental car. It might seem comic on the silver screen, but travelers often run into a series of mishaps. That is where travel insurance comes in handy.

There are specialist insurance policies for different situations. If a person is suffering from an ailment like diabetes, asthma or heart problem, but is traveling, then their medical treatment can be taken care of by the concerned insurance companies. A nominal fee is paid at the time of initiation of the policy to make it effective through the trip. This ensures that you can have a hassle-free holiday. The amount of the policy depends on the kind of coverage expected and the duration of the travel plan. There is no uniformity in coverage rates, so make sure to check on that.
