Annual Trip Travel Insurance
Annual trip travel insurance can be obtained by applying for short term travel insurance… just make sure that you read the riders of the policy. I once had a friend purchase travel insurance and needed medical assistance when he had compression problems scuba diving. Guess what? Scuba diving wasn’t included in the policy, and he had to fork out over $25K or live the rest of his life in a bubble. Tough choice, huh?
If you are planning an annual trip, travel insurance is of course a good idea. You should look into what kind of coverage your credit card company offers…many of them will do so for free if you use their card for travel related purchases. Also, make sure to determine your existing coverage. Many people are covered through their spouse, parent or the state, and may not even know it!
If you are looking for travel insurance for your annual trip, make a list of the activities you are doing (seeing that it’s annual, you probably have a good idea of what you’ll be doing). If you are planning on laying out on a beach for a week, you may only need the minimum coverage; if you’re planning an annual three week hike in the Himalaya, well, you’d better do some more research! Once you looked at your credit cards, family members and the government, make up any shortcomings with a short term policy. This should help you limit your expenditure on an annual trip travel insurance. |
