With strong winds of almost 75 miles an hour, Hurricane Sandy has disrupted everything travel related. Public transportation in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC have been shut down, thousands of flights have been cancelled, and cruise ships in the affected area have taken precautions.
Here’s live coverage of the storm by The Weather Channel.
As she threatens everyone and everything in her path, we`re reminded why travel protection, often ignored or brushed off as insignificant, is a necessary travel purchase.
Our Cruise Specialists are certified to sell travel insurance as well. The policy we offer to US residents, exclusive to Cruise Experts Travel, covers:
• trip cancellation and interruption
• missed connection
• baggage and travel documents
• baggage delay
• medical expense
• dental
• emergency evacuation and repatriation of remains
• accidental death and dismemberment
If protection is purchased within 14 days of the initial trip payment, you are also covered for pre-existing medical conditions and trip cancellation/interruption due to financial default.
Travel insurance services include travel medical assistance, worldwide travel assistance, and emergency assistance 24/7. Add-ons cancel for any reason and car rental insurance are also available. The cost of the plan varies depending on the cost of the trip. For a fraction of the cost of your trip, it’s assuring to know you have someone working for you if something that wasn’t planned happens.
We always say, we hope you never use travel insurance, but when that unexpected time comes, you’ll be glad you have it. To learn more about how you can protect your vacation, call us at 1-800-565-2784.
