Now that Merritt Keisler Strategies, LLC dba MKS Travel has arranged your trip, as professionals travel specialist, it is our responsibility to recommend travel insurance to protect your investment. Travel insurance provides peace of mind that protects you before, during and even after your trip.
We are not an Insurance agent; we are professional travel specialists, we can only recommend the best coverage by the best travel insurance providers in the travel insurance arena. There are many levels of plans and coverages.
Travel insurance companies are not affiliated with Merritt Keisler Strategies, LLC dba Travel. We will assist you with coverage recommendations, processing and filing, if need be. We I will also provide you with the insurance company telephone numbers to put you in direct contact for all your additional insurance coverage questions that we are not able to directly answer.
1. Life is unpredictable. Some trips need to be cancelled. With travel insurance, travelers don’t have to pay for a trip they are unable to take.
2. Most lost luggage takes five days to return to its owner. Insurance provides coverage to replace needed items right away.
3. Lost or forgotten medication? Travel insurance will assist you in locating a pharmacy to purchase a new prescription.
4. 30–50 percent of travelers stateside and abroad will become ill or injured during their trip. That’s almost one out of every two travelers. Travel insurance can provide peace of mind – especially for travel outside the United States, where many hospitals require cash payments in the thousands before treatment can even begin.
5. Health insurance may not go the distance. The majority of health insurance (including Medicare), worker’s compensation insurance, third-party and personal liability policies don’t cover international travel. In fact, a closer look at the inside of your passport will reveal that the government recommends travel insurance when traveling outside the United States.
6. In the event of a natural disaster, airline strike or act of terrorism, airlines will not refund the cost of your ticket. Insurance plans can cover the cost and help travelers get home quickly and safely.
7. Credit card coverage, homeowners and auto insurance – none of these provide sufficient coverage for travel. Even combined, they may not offset the cost of a medical emergency overseas.
8. Excursion tour operators often require that you purchase travel insurance. Purchasing insurance in advance helps travelers get the best coverage at the best cost.
9. Even the most stable of travel suppliers can default quickly. If a cruise line, airline or tour operator ceases operations due to financial hardship or bankruptcy, travel insurance saves travelers from paying for a trip they’ll really never get to take.
10. We all experience tough economic times. The loss of a job or other income might mean a trip planned in advance may have to wait.
