5 reasons why smart travelers never skip travel insurance

 

Travel with confidence. Your holiday getaway can be worry-free from unexpected surprises with BDO Insure.

 

You’ve planned every detail of your getaway, from flights and hotels to sightseeing and festive dining. But even the best-laid plans can hit a snag, especially during the busy holiday season.

These ’ber months, enjoy your upcoming vacation without the stress of costly travel disruptions from unforeseen events. Experts agree: travel insurance is a smart move—and here are 5 key reasons why savvy travelers swear by it.

1. Accidents happen. Accidents or unexpected illnesses can happen when traveling. With travel insurance, emergency medical coverage up to P500,000 starts at just P350. You can also upgrade your plan to include emergency care for pre-existing conditions and extreme activities.

2. Flights get delayed or cancelled. Insurance can cover flight delays of 6 hours or more. For cancelled flights, you can claim for prepaid, non-refundable costs like airline tickets, hotels, and transfers.

3. Travel plans change.  Unexpected events like severe weather or family emergencies can force you to cancel or cut your trip short. In such cases, your plan may reimburse non-refundable expenses within your coverage limits.

4. Luggage issues are common. If your baggage is delayed or damaged, you can reimburse for essentials like clothing and toiletries. And if it’s confirmed lost or stolen, you can claim the value of items—up to your policy limits—including valuables like passports, cameras, and electronics.

5. 24/7 global assistance. Travel plans give you access to a 24/7 multilingual global hotline whether you need help finding a medical facility or replacing a lost passport.
