TRAVEL PA INSURANCE
Travel PA provides cover for travellers within and outside the country. Benefits covered under a Travel PA insurance usually include but may not be limited to death, disablement, medical expenses, loss of baggage, delayed flights, curtailment of travel due to unforeseen circumstances, loss of credit cards & personal effects, personal liability, hijacking, etc.
Most Travel PA insurance policies will include a repatriation benefit in the event accident or death.
Travel PA Policy should be taken up at least 2-3 days before travel. There is usually a maximum period of cover of about 6 months.
Premium is dependent on amount of benefits, number of days of travel, and the geographical locations of travel.
Your vacation should be a memorable and incident-free experience. It should leave you rejuvenated and ready to face your daily challenges at work or home upon your return.
But this may not always be the case as some vacations do not turn out the way we anticipate. Occasionally, there may be flight delays or reschedules, loss or delayed baggage, or loss of travel documents. Falling sick or meeting with an accident while on vacation is not unheard of. Even more serious incidences can happen as well.
That is why Travel PA is a must when you are going away on your business or holiday travels. You do not know when you may need it. Sometimes travellers realize too late they had left home without adequate protection when an unfortunate incident occurs. For example, on one occasion, while a client’s family was on vacation in Australia, the 4 year old daughter was mauled by a friend’s dog. She had to be admitted into hospital for treatment for a day which included stitches on her face. This incident would have set them back by a few thousand Aussie Dollars had they not purchased a Travel PA.
